I sent the Carolina's to Florida, my bro was needing a pair, loves em.

Sold my black moc toe Thorogoods, to big. Bought these for 40 make offer, due to a slight cut in the leather, a joke. Awsome boots and I broke them in to perfection. Only steel toe I don't even know it's there. They go for over 2

Ralph Lauren brogues today. Believe these are made by AE, but I'm not sure. Does anyone know?

Ralph Lauren uses Crockett & Jones for some of their shoes

Well, I have another MTO planned with Rancourt. Clymer boot in cognac bison.

Yes, bison.

Took some new glamour shots of the Tankers:

Man I was just gonna put a post up lol. The tankers are sweet.

I got my Gustin indigo jeans in just before Xmas and they are definitely slimmer than imagined after the reviews. I got 35 slim and the waist is OK but the thighs could use a half inch more. Not sure if I should sell or keep them. I tried on for about 4 hours just sitting around the house. If anyone's interested let me know. Thinking of moving up to a 36 slim and getting the waist taken in a bit.

Any love for Ecco on here? I have 3 pairs now and like all 3 a lot. I wear the Helsinki bicycle toe for work and have the Track 6 GTX plain toe and Turn GTX as casual boots. Very high quality in my opinion.

I got myself my first pair of raw denim for Christmas, 3sixteen ST-100x. I also got a pair of Jordan 1 Melos.

Nice pick ups! How do the jeans run in terms of sizing? Was thinking about ordering a pair.

Thanks!

I went with size 31, which is the same size I wear in Levis and Bonobos. Fit is great and getting more comfortable with every wear. They come with a stupid long inseem (37") so I had them hemmed a bit at the retailer I bought them from ([url="http://www.selfedge.com/"]Self Edge[/url] in San Francisco).

I'll have to check them out. I have no idea why raw denim always has crazy long inseams. Seems like these are a bit truer to size as I wear 34 in Lucky and those are roomy.

Let me know what you're looking to get for those, as a 35 slim should work well for me. Drop me a PM.

Bleh, I gave up on raw denim. Everything now is so slim, oddly sized, and then to add the hemming on top..screw that.

Fit is paramount, with my waist size and leg size it seems that the only good fit are my JCrew straight-slims. I do have the selvedge models of those though.

[dcmidnight]

I agree, I've tried just about every brand of jeans I could get ahold of and they each seem to have their own differences, for me Luckys are the only ones I can get that fit/feel right.

Found a pair of brown Indys this morning < $400 in an ebay email alert. Man the itchiness to get my Vibergs is really catching up to me, I'm so glad ebay is blocked at work....

[GooseHook]

Part of my New Year's resolution is to get rid of things I don't use enough anymore...including shoes.

As a result, I'm selling my CXL longwings. If anyone is interested, they're 8.5D Barrie last.

[kmbean]

I ordered these last week:
http://oakstreetbootmakers.com/footwear/natural-vibram-sole-cap-toe-trench-boot

Should be here in 2/3 weeks. I'm a little nervous hearing murmurs about OSB's quality issues. Hopefully they don't disappoint.

I am also going to pick up a pair of Alden Indy's in black when I get my bonus. Looking fwd to those.

Here are a few shoes I'm currently lusting after.


Viberg Service Boot in waxed flesh

Carmina Longwing Bluchers in cognac shell cordovan

Rancourt Beefroll Penny Loafers in natural CXL

[attachment=2571593:penny.jpg]

[gambit]

Those Viberg's and Carmina's are sweet. Never been much of a penny loafer guy. I automatically think of BH 90210 for some reason.

How are those raw denims treating you?

Breaking in great and getting more comfortable every day. I wore an my old pair of Levis 514 the other day and was taken back by how thin/lightweight they felt after wearing my 3sixteens ~5 days a week for the last four weeks. Also I'm starting to get fades from my wallet which is exciting.

[dcmidnight]

Man I cant wait for the Vibergs to get delivered, supposedly before the end of the month...hard to believe it was 3.5 months ago when I ordered them.

Honestly I'd go with their Ranger mocs over the beefroll loafers. I have both and the Mocs are just better.

 

 

Bunch of Epaulet preorders here:

So yeah, I think I'm going to preorder those Alpine Grain boots

[b]There are two Indy boot versions available. Get on it fellas![/b]

[gambit]

Did you check out Leather Soul Hawaii? They have an Alpine grain wingtip w/ commando sole as well that looks really nice.

Dude, it's been that long? Man, time sure does fly when you get older.

[SilverBullets]

Nothing high end to write home about but I picked up a pair of frye boots today. I couldn't pass up the price ($169 on Gilt.com and had an additional 30% coupon so it made them $129 shipped).
