Liking those very much Jin....
^^ Very nice - wish I could take an 8-mile hike now, but I could maybe do a few miles on Cross Country skies.
Best way ever to break in bootws - go hiking - especially where Angus roam free.
You might like Nick's Urban Loggers's with the Vibram 100 sole. White's make a very similar boot.
Your boots and jackets are on point. Really enjoy your style!Break in continues for my Benzein Maryam Toscanello Horse Rump service Boots for an 8 mile hike today. I need some proper hiking boots with proper outsoles, probably getting a rough out or waxed RO sometime this year with commando or lug soles.

Another rabbit hole I jumped down myself this weekend. Snagged a pair of Naked & Famous selvedge denim pants on eBay. Entry level, I know, but I figure minimal investment to see if I want to dive any further into selvedge.Thank you, man. I'm trying to get the pants department catch up a little too.
It really is interesting to see all the styles from members all over the world. I'm definitely just a minnow around here, usually scrounging around on the second hand market. My tastes are pretty eclectic, so I enjoy learning about all these global suppliers and brands. On the other hand, maybe that's just a sign that I haven't found my style yet.It's so nice to find inspiration here because of all the members sharing their own personality and their styles. So in that way I can pick and choose what I want to emulate, granting I have already have something similar in my wardrobe.
What do you mean the leather? They look like my whites mp boots with cap toe and commando half soles. You can get the mp in a 55 last too or even 8 inch mp through franklin and poe.Allen Edmonds Normandy boots. I really love the kudu. If only I could transplant this style onto a White’s last.
Worn yesterday with my Aero Type III.

I like that single hole captoe. Adds a little something, while remaining old fashioned looking and not going overboard with the brogueing.Break in continues for my Benzein Maryam Toscanello Horse Rump service Boots for an 8 mile hike today.

I like my mp but like the 55 last farmer rancher better. Maybe it is just due to the cap or the last but the mp boot is a little narrow at the ball and pinches just a bitYes very much like the MP boots in style. At some point in the distant future I could see myself upgrading these to White's MP boots.
The leather is kudu. Like a great antelope. Its soft, pliable, and tough. Plus its full of interesting wear marks from it running around and getting scratched on brambles etc.
I mean, I could buy some from C F Stead and supply it to White's for a special pair but it seems like too much work? Dunno. Basically just trying to say I like a lot about the boot except the comfort/quality of the sole.

That’s pretty much what you would have to do, but I’ve seen people do that. I know a lot of go through Bakers, a distributor for Whites and some other brands. I inquired about once, essentially you supply the leather to Bakers who will send it Whites. No discount for supplying but an nice option to have nonetheless.I mean, I could buy some from C F Stead and supply it to White's for a special pair but it seems like too much work? Dunno.
