These are actually pretty nice and similar looking to a pair of whites sd's. I may have to buy these and at $200 I'd say why not look as if. How are these holding up Urb? Do they have a solid look to them when worn? I ask because I hate when a boot is easily stretched out & don't hold their shape which happened to a pair of Aldo boots i bought

You are surprised at this?
-
Of course not just using as example. I paid close to $200 for them so it was an easy comparison based on price
-
They're holding up fine. Shit I didn't even know Aldo made boots that expensive. I guess people will buy almost anything.

Hey Guys,
I thought I would post a few pics of an old-time local “honey hole” shoe store that I went to yesterday in Western North Carolina. This store has been in business since 1953, and I think they still have some of the shoes they opened with! I took a few shots of some of the older, American-made shoes and boots that I thought you guys might like. And while I was there I took the opportunity to purchase a pair of NOS Carolina moc toe oxfords and the $10.00 pair of Carolina boots in the pics. The $10.00 boots are size 4 ½, which are way too small for me, but I thought I would save them for a few years for my son to wear. The oxfords I bought are 11 ½ EE and fit great, but I forgot to take pics of them! Coming soon… Anyway, here are the pics!

And some deadstock Madewell, Carter's , and Carhartt carpenter jeans

Madewell got rebranded i think in the 80's and I think now may be owned by JCrew. I have heard that they are in the process of rebranding again and doing a heritage line ala HW Carter and Sons but don't quote me on that.

The jeans are marked 29 W but measure 30.5. Pretty standard carpenter jeans with a roomy cut.
