Two for me, two for my glass-collecting, fruitbeer crazed collegue…

Good Lord….

That jacket is on fire.

@Giles:

Liking that…

I work on the basis that you can never have too many long billed caps for days out on the water….

I saw some pics of a shoe named the Veldtschoen (actually Dutch/ Afrikaner for Field Shoe) in a SuFu thread. Contacted a member, read up on it… Dude actually buys and sells these... So I bought a pair of him, from the most known and best brand named Lotus. They're officer shoes, waterproof, zug leather, sturdy as fuck... Let us know what y'all think!..

[madmonday]

not a bad looking shoe, they might grow on me more after seeing them worn

& compared to most of the ugly stuff you pick up those are great 

[Seul]

Heh… Thanks... Most of my pick-ups are IH though, so... WHAT ARE YOU SAYING MICKEY!.. 

[Giles]

I have a super sturdy pair at home, I'll pop an image up tonight…..

I want a pair of those Durham for the princely sum of 130 Shillings (£6.50 in new money)…

seul, your love of ironheart is your saving grace, if i lost all my functioning senses & then had a full lobotomy i would STILL not pick the men or women clothing that you  pick to wear.  i still fancy you despite our very different takes on what clothing should be worn & what should be burnt & then buried & never spoken of again 

i feel very geo-like after reading that short passage   i am now satisfied with myself & will go & attempt to do an honest days work for a not sooo honest wage

[Seul]

I just like to try (on) a lot of stuff… Not always the best gear but what the hey: I have fun doing so!.. 

[madmonday]

i have fun watching & pointing, but more importantly you are such a good humored fellow it is easy to go through all this without taking it so seriously.

[Seul]

I don't take anything serious on the net… And most importantly: I don't take myself serious... I'd be an even bigger eejit if I did!..

Here's a quick pic of the boots I was talking about... Migh tell the guy to keep an eye out for a pair of these for me!.. So it's not "on-topic" but it might be soon enough... 

[rocket]

think I like them…

Nice buy seul! I've been looking for a pair of Lotus Veldt boots in a uk11 for sometime now. One day. As the hunt continues.

If you're on SuFu: this is the guy to contact

He's a Brit, with exceptional knowledge about the Veldtschoen and a stunning collection of shoes!..

[eyeq8402]

^ thank you for that seul. I've been patiently waiting for a pair to come up for quite sometime now.

[Giles]
