Wow, it's moving to Chicago? I saw they were discussing it on the Stitchdown Premium Discord at one point but didn't realize the decision to have it in Chicago had been made since then!
That would be an easy trip for me to make - maybe ~ 3 hours and would really have to limit myself if I did come!

Sure looks like a great time for a jacket meet up too - Early November Chicago is prime leather jacket weather.

Swedish military boots from 1942 I wore today.

I dyed them black, conditioned them inside and outside (bone dry after 80 years in storage), built up the heel with some more leather (balancing due to added sole) and applied a Vibram full sole but only used it as a half sole. A rubber toplift to finish it off.

First day with Argo engineers. Gambled on the sizing and got pretty lucky.

They are in a nice hand dyed mahogony horsebutt from Maryam. I really like the Maryam hb on my bounty hunters so I knew I'd be in good hands. Construction seems good, a substantial color matched flat gyw that looks much better than the cheap welts a lot of makers slap on.

It's still a struggle for me to get used to engineers, I'm used to that snug feeling from laced boots.
