Footwear to go with our jackets

[jglf]

So, my boots are back from Masa.
This is how they look now:

The boots were made by Flamepanda. Masa re-lasted to the Graham last from Clinch with a soft toe (meaning no structured to box) and changed from fullsole to halfsole.

Before and after pictures (left before, right now)

Did the original last not work with your feet or do you just prefer the aesthetics of the new one?

The original last was fine. I wanted to change from fullsole to halfsole and then it turned out to a basically new boot . The new last seems to fit my feet even better.

For years I’ve bought shoes and boots for under £100 except for the odd pair of Gortex Ecco boots which are just a bit more. Yesterday I was in Flannels and was smitten by a pair of Grenson Brady Boots and now my credit card has suffered for the first time in years.

I really like what Grenson have been doing in recent years; they've nicely adapted their catalogue to be more commercial without cutting out or compromising on some great classic stuff.

Wesco Hendrick British tan roughout with vibram 269 sole, low heel, mp95 last. I added obenauf to the leather as I like flesh side waxed/oiled. MP95 last is definitely wider than their mp1339 last and doesn’t have the upturned toe as the later.

I got my Elk boots from Peng and had my cobbler add a zip in tongue. Now as easy to put on as Chelsea boots.

Chippewas.

Finally had the time to take some pics, got these recently. Another Benzein Chelsea

And to keep it relevant to the spirit of the thread, I can see navy working with red

Really beed to pay attention to that collar lol

And of course, why not with shades of blue?

 

[red devil]

And another Benzein, this time the Jodhpur

They really feel nice and sturdy worn

I think this natural colour goes with almost anything

This jacket is less forgiving than the others, it shows I have put on weight lol

It certainly goes with red

And finally the pics with jacket with the python Carmina I posted some time ago'

@Tom71 , sorry it took so long, here it goes with the Little Wing

This is my trimmest jacket, so I currently look like a sausage in it. But you can imagine what how it would like with the excess 5-7kg gone

The shade on this is much more clear cut white and black so it will match almost anything

It is also fun to play with different textures

Red devil you take the cake!
Tell me you’re not an undercover rock star.

Phenomenal collection

Red Devil you rock!! Awesome everything!

 

[El Marro]

Very nice @red devil ! And it looks like you do own a red jacket (or two, or three) after all!

Speaking strictly about red and not other shades such as purple or Burgundy, I have four

My first one, that I got in the early phases of being in this forum is this Tenjin

I was then a long time without red and thought I needed to live up to my forum name, so got this Thedi

Then the two LW red deer jacket in quick successsion

And if we count strictly red but with black accents as valid, this one is incoming from Johnson Leather

Red is not the most represented colour in my collection, that should be either black or blue, butI still have a decent representation. That being said, your comment made me realise I should have a red jacket from most major makers I like

I am thinking I need to red from Electric Leather Studios, Langlitz (another Death Head?) and Vanson

Flame Panda x Masa in the Swiss mountains.

Maybe not the most appropriate boot at the moment, but why not.

@red devil I love those snakeskin jodhpur boots - any links? I've really quite fancied a pair of snakeskin boots for when I'm feeling a little.... Johnny Thunders.... Have seen a nice pair or two of cowboy boots in a snakeskin, but those jodhpurs take it to a new level!
