      You do it right it'll look super vintage….....

      Or send them to me and I'll send them back with your you-know-what....

      Hehe, if I find out that my sis doesen't have a machine, I'll might do that 🙂 You did a perfect job on my superblacks, so that way I would know for sure that it would turn out great!

            are any products planned to be made out of the wabash material, that do not have the wabash discharge pattern on it?  seems it would make some really interesting products . . .

                  Maybe some people can chime in here on a question I have.  For the summer, I am in desperate need of new shoes, as I have noticed that all I really have left at this point are one pair of clark boat shoes.  What I suggest may not exactly fit what everyone thinks of as "summer," but whatever, I live in Canada now.

                  So I have narrowed it down as such.  Something in the Tan-Brown Suede or Leather.  Crepe sole just because I like them.  Chukka or boat type shoe.  Will be worn with jeans.

                  Major options I am seriously intersted in:

                  Russell Moccasin - Sporting Clay chukka in Tan Laramie suede

                  Yuketen Angler moc

                  Red Wing Handsewn

                  Again, you may not agree with the style, but just to give people an idea of what I want.

                  Any other suggestions?

                  Opinions on which way I should go?

                      The people over at Russell didn't mention the Munson for a suede build, but of course, they can't remember everything.  I will have to give it a look now.

                      Giles, do you know which build beatle used?

                          Many times, but I was looking more for the plantation crepe sole, which I don't think is really an option.

                                  Those are mine.  You see them on my feet in just about every WAYWT photos.

                                  You just ask for a Laramie Munson Chukka with a tan leather mid sole and a neoprene cushion crepe sole

                                    Wait, why is that crepe sole black.

                                    Excuse my stupidity, but I was looking a crepe sole like the one on the anglers.  I assumed when I talked with Russell that was the type they meant.

                                      Russell call it the 4007 Neoprene Cushion Crepe.  Maybe it comes in different colours, call them…..

                                        pretty much the same , different sole…and laces

                                            had a forum member call me & ask me why do we spend so much on jeans & then try to beat the shit out of them? wouldn't it make more sense to try & keep them in as good condition as possible cause they are limited quantities & expensive as hell.

                                            i couldn't disagree with him so i laughed my a$$ off & post the question here.
