    Footwear to go with our jackets

    I recently picked up some Glenn’s Denim cords that I love. Probably gonna kop a pair of his slouchy tapered jeans to dip my toe into the high-rise game. May have to start smoking lucky strikes again to complete the look.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Thanks, me too! I placed my order for some urban loggers on Jan 11. This is my first order so I’m doing the try-on process. I have a wider foot and I was drawn to the nicks fit guarantee and breadth of sizes/widths. Unfortunately I still haven’t received my try-on pair and was told they are...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Ralph is the OG. If I could only wear one brand it’d be Ralph - he has everything covered. Denim/western/bohemian/Bedouin? RRL. Suit/black tie/formal? RLPL. Everything else? Polo or mainline.

    Ya man. They should darken nicely. I’ve still got a Nicks and my flame pandas in the works, but I’ve told myself no new orders in 2021 since I’m covered!

    I just received these Onderhouds last night so this isn't really a review. It's more of an initial impression. These are absolute units. They fit incredibly well and I love the color, proportions, and aesthetics. The stitching and welt are also very neat and clean. The only complaints I have are...

    You teacored your teacore boots. Rad. Now these boots are uniquely yours. Bet they'll look even better with bits of green showing through.

    I’m just providing a counterpoint and counter-perspective. All the Alden’s and carminas I’ve owned have had minor imperfections but I think they are comparable given the price point (but I have a higher tolerance for that). I also like them for different purposes (carminas for sleeker loafers...

    Lovely Chelseas. I co-sign everything you write except the opinion that Carmina quality is far superior to Alden’s. Having owned multiple pairs from both, I feel they are similar in quality and only distinguished by their aesthetics (setting aside price and origin). Carminas were a steal 5...

    Brooooooo, you deleted the hair? Please tell me you subbed in mutton or something similar? You need a proper Grizzly for your growing collection!

    Biases are ok - in fact, they are natural. I got no problem with you or anyone else blogging, posting, writing, 'graming, or sharing about cool stuff they like and are into. If I don't like it, I can tune out! I appreciate everyone, including you, who takes the time to post about cool boots...

    I totally get where you are coming from. It's often difficult tell when a "review" on social media is sponsored or the subject of genuine interest, once a reviewer reaches a certain following-level. It reminds me of the rise and fall of men's magazines. GQ/Esquire/Details(RIP)/etc spend all...

    No question Stitchdown takes money from Grant Stone and other sponsors, but they disclose it. They disclose the sponsor of each podcast. Also, there's nothing wrong with sponsored content - businesses gotta make money! I also just like Stitchdown's content better than Stridewise's, and it helps...

    IMO Stitchdown is open with their brand affiliations and they don't do editorials like "5 Best Boots to Buy" where they hawk a particular brand that they have affiliation with. When i read Stitchdown, i don't get the sense they're trying to sell me 1 particular product. My impression is they...

    If you have the time, listen to the "Indonesian Bootmakers Bonanza" episode of the Stitchdow pod. It's an excellent introduction to many of the most well-known makers https://www.stitchdown.com/stitchdown-shoecast/all-podcast-episodes/ I have mixed feelings about Stridewise, but he created a...

    Bad Hat Brothers monkey boots. They fit great and I love the sleek last combined with the chonky vibram sole. I also think the contrast stitching with the natural heal and edge pops. I’m very happy with them.

    Ever think some jackets are overhyped

    This 100%. I think at this point in the discussion, lines have been drawn and our biases are pretty clear. The original point of this thread was to discuss the impact of "hype" on our buying behavior. I don't think we'll ever reach a consensus on whether brands of a certain price-point (ex...

    Wore my Renav bison boots with Dr Sole half-soles while hiking yesterday. Carried my babygirl up and down 660 stairs. My thigh were burning but the feet were comfortable!
