Tricker's

[Jesselirola]

Ha - I know what you mean - I've been over there a few times to check their Vieberg's.

I've not made a purchase there, the only things I've ever wanted luckily weren't in my size.

You look at a few pairs of shoes that are over 1000 and suddenly it's no thing to buy a pair that are 700.

Funny how that works.

Ha.

I'm out here working fashion week, but I'll find some time to hit Freeman's and check their Vieberg colabo's.

Cheers,

Jesse

I don't think Leffot carries them but you should most definitely go there. You may hate me after you leave with a receipt though. Check them out online at least.

Hi there,

I am not a regular user on this forum , I just occasionally read.
The reason I created an account is that I am setting up a group buy for a pair of mto trickers longwings.
These longwings are based on the limited batch released by museum ark.
In general longwings are only available as mto by trickers.
The premium for a single pair mto made trickers is 180gbp resulting in a subtotal 520gbp for one pair.
I am in contact with Richard from shoehealer who set up the same batch order for a few styleforum members. He is offering to drop the 180gbp and sell the shoes for 340gbp (same as a regular pair trickers would cost) including shipping worldwide including 20% vat (which gets deducted if you are located outside the EU) If there are at least 6 takers !
It takes about 2months to receive the shoes after the order has been placed.
The shoe will be made on the 81 last which is a bit tighter fitting than the very genrous fitting 4444 last , if you have experience with trickers country collection you will know what I mean , for sizing advice please contact Richard at www.shoehealer.co.uk

If you are interested please get in touch. Richard requires a 100gbp deposit from every buyer at the time of the order.
I am placing this post in other forums as well to collect people for the bulk order, as there are 6 buyers I will place the order, so do not hesitate if you want to join in.

Options (see pics) :

black eyelets
Dainite sole vs double leather sole
grain / grain
all smooth
smooth/grain ( see end hunting x trickers collabo)

The 6 buyers however will have to agree on the same version afaik
At the moment we are 3 takers , at least 3 more are required.
Lets make this happen !

Stopped in Grahame Fowler today to check out some White's Boots.
Great guys there. Super British shop. TONS of Trickers.
They have a few pairs of Trickers and White's on sale. Almost got some Red Buffalo Semi Dress White's but they only had sz 8D left for $368. I think they have some brown cap toe Semi-Dress Whites in a few sizes left for the same price. Go check it out if you're in town. Great deals.

^ shoes look good riff!! Seul can't believe you found your size in those Veldts! Been searching for a large size for some time. The hunt continues on….

[Seul]

I'm a UK 8 - very comon size I guess…

[riffblaster general]

thanks eyeq8402…. just nabbed em off ebay uk for a ridiculous price.  they're pretty old, but in great condition.

[Seul]

Ok - back from the cobbler's. Sunnovabitch did a great job imo:

Real colour is more like this, though:

[marco]

^^^^really nice boots mate

[Seul]

Very clasic and no frills… The history of these and pedigree of Tricker's is why I chose to spend as much on 30 year old boots than I would've on this model new but made by a different brand...

[marco]

which model are they? i need to know so i can keep an eye out for a pair!

[Seul]

Veldtschoen. Haven't been made for a couple of decades. Are you on SuFu or Styleforum?.. Cause there's a guy who specialises in these…

[marco]

yea i pop in an out of sufu, i'm kimi over there. I'll keep an eye out for those in particular, a lot of the other veldschoen aren't as nice as those ones, congrats 

[Seul]

Thanks mate!.. This is the lad to contact!.. Tell 'm I sent ya

@riffblaster:

so these are actually too small for me.  the ebay auction actually had the wrong size.  These are a uk 7 width 6.  So…If anyone wears that size please contact me if you're interested in these.  I'll be glad to send you more pictures.

[Seul]

Came home soaked from the rain… Tricker's weren't bothered (two coats of Obenauf's heavy duty leather polish, available at the IH e-store, highly recommended) and seemed to be thinking "Good ole England"... Wrong, but hey they're boots plus if you look this good, no one cares:
