Lol..looks like Giles already has some experience wearing boots
Of course, he does. My comment was because he went out in the rain with a fresh pair of soles. That is something that should be avoided. I am well aware that one can get into a bad downpour without prior announcement easily, especially in England. But in general it should be avoided to prolong the life of the sole. Prolonging the life of the sole is a good thing even if they can be re-soled.

Need help ladies and gents…
I wasn't planning on getting anymore boots since I just recently picked up the Alden 403
until I walked into UnionMade SF yesterday and tried on the Mark McNairy Red Brick Sole boots.
Very lightweight, Goodyear welt, Captoe with the trademark red sole.[pictures deleted by the member]
Which one do you prefer?
I'm leaning towards the dark brown suede and I'm giving myself 2 days to decide. -
Damn arrow, Union Made has the Mark McNairy Brick Soles?!?! Fuck, I might have to take my check that just came in for a contracted job over there. It is quite sunny out in SF…
Edit: As for the Color Choice, I would go with the lighter one as the darker are too similar to your Alden's. But then again I am in love with both of them. Do they have the Blue Desert Boots w/ Red Brick Soles?

Lando, if you go… stay away from the following items:
il Bisonte and Alden leather accessories
Assortment of nice chambrays from Mark McNairy
and definitely avoid the huge brown leather custom bag that sits in the middle of the table.May the force be with you!
EDIT: YES!!! they do have the navy blue desert boots.... stay away from that too.

Nice choice. Can't wait to see how you rock them. And I decided to stay faaaaar away from UnionMade so I do not do something I will regret. I will live vicariously through your purchase arrow.

LandoCal, I live 13 miles away from the doorstep of Self Edge, San Francisco. Why do you think I stay away ? I rarely go there. I'm surprised that I didn't "do something I'll regret" the last time I was there – when I tried on the SEXIH07BK Type III jacket. I think it's only because my mom told me that the jacket looked awful on me and that I would be a moron for dumping $500 on a jacket just cuz it had an Iron Heart label on it. I stay away today though for a different reason -- that Flat Head FH Type II 3XXX Denim Jacket and also, the Toyo Jungle Pants.

arrow, you gonna wear with new jeans ? indigo bleed = wabi-sabi
You know we're all serious in this indigo business. So wabi-sabi is bound to happen
I just got back from a club in SF and the owner was rocking some IH 301s.
I had to show him my 9634 to let him know what's up.
He was like… "you know the deal.. son!" -
Just bought a navy Crescent Down Works Italian Vest in an XXS (34) ! Total price including S&H, taxes came to $217.04. I'm sure I'll LOVE IT ! I was wrong about one thing. I love the navy but my size was completely sold out in other colors – so navy is what I got. There are slim pickins in other sizes as well. This is obviously a hot piece of merchandise !
Here it is :

Looks hard as fuck in black. Why oh why did I have to see this, Shubz.
Ask a better question Seul. Why did I have to see it ? It was an impulse buy which I really can't afford right now but I justified it by the low cost. Before IH, I would have thought $200 is steep. Now, I think $200 is a fuckin' bargain – especially for high quality gear like Crescent Down Works (CDW).
