cheers

@urbanwoodsman:

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.

there we go, i walked over there on my way to work some jobs @ the standard and gansevoort this evening but they were closed.

i popped into leffot instead and walked out with a pair of viberg's on my feet, whoops.

i'll have to pop in there later this week and see what more damage i can do.

cheers

^ 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.

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

Real colour is more like this, though:

^^^^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.

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:

like that pics…

grabbed a pair @ Leather Soul BH at the end of my work week in LA last week.

they need some time to break in, so i'm just giving them a couple hours a day.

i say god damn they look good!

anyone have any suggestions as to what dark polish to use to darken them up?

they mentioned that if i use black polish over time they'll darken, i'd like to get them darker, i swapped the laces to black.
they're sick.

[tmg]

Great choice of boots there Jesse, I've got the black version, super comfy and built to last!

[Seul]

Lovely!..
