Could have it skivved down if you could get your hands on some, but it definitely looks like a leather made for boots. They also offer a neat looking boar leather that's available in a thinner width too.

Agreed on both. Although I do like the Truman Boot in shrunken Bison.
Awesome boots
Thank you!

Whoa. Are those job related or just for kicks.

The 310 always seemed to me like the platonic ideal of “boot.”
Just for general wear. I'm usually in a laboratory or at my desk for work, but on days I'm in the field on a research farm, basically any boot has been fine. I usually wear Red Wings there though last time I wore some 10" Nicks Boots.

I’ve had this pair of RMWs for 15 years, though once the second sole started wearing out they sat at the back of the closet for over 5 years. I sent them to Unsung to perform some heresy, giving an American work boot sole to the classic Aussie ‘bush slippers’. These are the pics they sent me. I should get them by the weekend!

Don´t know why, but I found these "used once" for cheap and needed to have them. Not even sure which outfit I can wear with them...

Just got these shell indies to replace the ones I'm selling. Had to go up a width to get more toe room, though it's a little wider everywhere else as well. Helps with wearing thicker socks. Never been a fan of the flat waxed laces and will be replacing them with round ones, just deciding on the color....

I’m pretty close to ordering a pair of Nick’s custom Station Master engineer boots, but one of the things I’m stuck on is leather choice.
Italian Brown Cypress from Horween is known for looking great as it ages and gets beat-up a bit.
Wicket and Craig’s Double Stuffed Walnut is veg tanned and such a luxurious, rich and dark brown. But is it worth $150ish extra?
And, for reference, this is the jacket that I’ll be wearing with them mostly:
What would you go with?

And Option Three is another pair from Brisselblack, with their overdyed Maryam horsebutt. I owned a pair of these a few years ago, and they didn’t feel as solid. More of a dress boot, but undeniably sleek and the added customization options (bigger heel stack and 8” height) are appreciated.

is it the 150 extra you can have arguments on both side so I'll leave that alone. As for color theory do you some contrast between your boots and the jacket?
Data driven decisions are always the best. Didn't have time to grab you a dark brown leather can you can use your imagination. I like a bit of contrast now.
Never handled Nicks myself. The Horween Cypress Brown looks nice and already shows a lot of potential. The darker one is a better fit with the RC colour wise, but this is something I don’t care that much anymore.

I had a pair of White’s Bountyhunters on the same last. Generally, PNW boots are crazy solid, heavy and ******proof. But I think the Nicks could still be configured to be relatively sleek.
For sure. That one looks to age fast and well.
The rolls on that leather are amazing and the colour has so much depth to it.
Matching boots and jacket is more of a bonus for me, though I prefer to get things somewhere in the same tone - not super dark brown with natural or tan.
I thought I’d’ve placed the order by now, but I really can’t decide between these three options (adding the Brisselblack wildcard).
The Walnut looks amazing. I’d go with that.
