Gotcha, thanks for the info. With the RM buyout, seeing prices go up and quality start to diminish has always been the reason as why I've never pulled the trigger on pair. I do love the look and the last/pattern, but especially the brass screwed sole they offer. It's very unique sole...
I had to look up Rossi as I wasn't familiar with the brand. Very similar to the Blundstone design and nice to see they are still made in Australia. Any experience or thoughts about Baxter boots? They seemed to be a nice RM alternative but have yet to come across one.
As everyone else has mentioned, the jacket fits you incredibly well! I wasn't the biggest fan of denim-style leather jackets but yours and the other shown has started to grow on me. If I were to ever get one it would probably be a Type 1 though
The Made in Australia Blundstones are drastically better than the Blundstones made today overseas. I work in shoe repair, and one of the most common repairs we do are Blundstone resoles. The shape and quality of materials are night and day between the old and new ones. The Australian just look...
Both @Mrfrown and @El Marro jackets are beautiful and do look like the are the same leather if not a very similar one. I'd be interested in seeing how both of these age and darken with a lot of wear!!
My pair from him is the TDD-01 model and has an unstructured toe box. I’ll post some pictures of them tomorrow, not a whole lot of wear of them yet. Only have had them for a month so I want to say about 15 wears or so
Really like these derbies! I would like to add a chonky derby to my collection one day. These and the ones made by Nicks are superb
Those look great! Have you had boots or shoes with horse leather before? I just got my first pair with horsehide, specifically toscanello horserump from Maryam. I...
I believe it was 11'' if I'm not mistaken. I would contact them and see if they can, I would also contact Neil over at Standard and Strange and see if they will have another run of them. Never hurts to ask and Neil is a great guy so he might just be able to help.
Here's a picture of them, still one of best engineers I've seen. They start out quite dark but the lighter green undertones are just amazing.
That's unfortunate that sizing didn't work out as nicely for you. At least there a bit big than too small, I'll always take the former any day.
I'd love...
I will for sure make a thread about them! If everything works out and I keep them for a while, I'll try to post updates on the wear on both jackets. I think the lighter medium brown will patina a bit better as well, and will standout a bit more without being too out there. Are you referring to...
The interesting thing about the olive waxed flesh used on this boot is the patina shows this avocado green. Compared with many other waxed flesh leathers including some other variations of olive waxed flesh will usually show a light brown undertone. For that pair to show a light green after a...
Thanks! I will try to post pictures of the two of them together to try and get a comparison between the two. Hopefully they are different enough which was the impression I got from the description of the leathers. I wasn't remotely interested in a black jacket so the medium brown was a no...
Hello everyone,
I've been a lurker for some time but have finally decided to go all in on TFL. I was introduced to this forum by @dudewuttheheck via his Instagram Almostvintagestyle. This place has been a wealth of knowledge and great community of enthusiast. I work as a cobbler so my first...
I’ve seen it! The patina reminds of the Wesco knuckle dragger engineer from Standard and strange that had the olive waxed flesh. Hope they fit, I have a pair o ordered from Benzein and they are my best fitting pair of boots I have
I’ve noticed that most people that get into boots never have to...
The Sagara cordmasters are one of the best looking monkey boots available, especially with this leather. Love the name that he gives it, "matcha core"
I personally prefer the look of a halfsole over a fullsole. It keeps continuity in the heelbase and an overall cleaner look. If you wanted to...
