    Thanks for the follow up! Hat looks great too, I’ve yet to try an Optimo

    If you had to wear just 1 pair of boots for the rest of your life, what would they be?

    Oh I didn’t realise they have an actual brick and mortar shop in Brighton! It’s been a minute but I usually make it out there every other year or so. Will definitely check it out when I go next. Again, their brogue boots look quite nice for the price point. Ideally I’d like some Trickers, but...

    This is interesting to note. I didn’t realise there was so much variation even within that style name. Like the pair I’ve got right now is pretty hardwearing and solid, but I know I’ve had others in the past that were heavier and still had that same 13mwz label. Interesting about the cotton...

    I believe all of the 13mwz colors are still 13. oz non stretch and 100% cotton

    Western, anyone?

    Here’s the pair I have. They’re definitely a bit lighter in colour now than they were when they were new, but they’re one of about 4 pairs of jeans that I currently own so I wear and wash them often. A bit of fading and marks from phone, pliers etc. and a little fraying at the cuffs but honestly...

    I’ve been curious to try Modshoes but haven’t bought anything from them yet. They do some nice looking brogue boots though. Leather soles too. How do you find they wear? Their prices often look too good to be true.

    I’ve got a pair bought new just a few yrs ago (can’t remember exactly but probably 2022). Cut and fit is pretty much spot on to the older ones, as far as durability, not quite as heavy and hardwearing as the old Wranglers but more so than the current Levi’s.

    That is without a doubt the best wool Indiana jones I’ve ever seen……

    Just wait till the bowler hat guys start tossing bowling balls in the hat stores

    Looking for a Hat

    Straws a bit trickier to flatten out without it going floppy (if you’re converting the hat in the picture) but it can be done. I think @RickP has some excellent tips on keeping straw brims straight if you decide to go that route. Look through his posts on the “What hat are you wearing today”...

    Looking for a Hat

    Unless you want to go full on custom with the budget that brings I highly recommend an open crown resistol. You’ll be able to achieve that look quite easily with a little steam and reference videos/pictures

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    With some warmer, sunny weather the past week or so, I’ve temporarily traded the Stratoliner out for this Open Road style straw. What hat is it? I have no idea. Some kind of Frankenstein bootleg something. Bought it online a few yrs ago advertised as a Resistol but it arrived with both resistol...

    Looking for a Hat

    If you’re wanting it western weight resistol sells quite a few of their hats as open crown, flat brims meant to be shaped. There’s good resources here on shaping the crown and trimming down brims but also if you live near a decent hat store they’ll be able to give you any shape you want. Also...

    Trickers country brogues are also on my future wishlist. Best I’ve got right now is a pair of Loake Royals. They look nice and are surprisingly a very comfortable fit but I know they’re not gonna last forever as they’re starting to get a crease in the toe box even with cedar shoe trees

    Redwing uses their own soles. A bit harder and less squish than the vibram ones, but they last a bit longer. This pair I’ve had since 2020 and have worn them regularly for both work and travel and the tread still has plenty of wear left in them!

    If you had to wear just 1 pair of boots for the rest of your life, what would they be?

    Agree completely with this. I’ve worn Redwing and Thorogood wedge soles for everything from warehouse work to forestry, to general farm labour, forklift and tractor driving, trail hiking etc. I’ve really not been in a situation with those boots where I wished I had put on a different pair of...

    Joseph Cheaney also does some similar models, shiny polished caps but pebbled on the creasing areas. I always linger at their shop window to look but they’re out of my price range for the time being.

    I can’t speak for everyone, but my experience with the current production MIE docs hasn’t been great. Paper thin leather with very little support. Deadstock 90s models are getting harder and harder to find online though especially in larger sizes

    If you had to wear just 1 pair of boots for the rest of your life, what would they be?

    Probably Redwing Mocs or 80s/early 90s docs
