            Peanut Suede…though, I have always been a fan of Wallabees as a less expensive option!

            Out with the new! In with the old!

                    Now you know how we feel when we see an upcoming IH product… 🙂

                    Fosters have a really nice bespoke chukka boot, which is a similar style. Their lastmaker, Terry Moore, is long past retirement age and considered to be the best in Britain.

                    I've got a thing about bespoke footwear. It's just the several thousand pound starting price acts as a real dampener on my enthusiasm.

                        Crockett and Jones, Fosters and Edward Green all do versions of that boot in their ready-to-wear collections, and I suspect that the other traditional shoemakers will offer them. Prices probably start around £400, rising to £800 for Edward Green. I believe that the style is a Jodphur boot with strap.

                        The Crockett and Jones model can be seen at:

                        http://www.crockettandjones.com/Product/Cottesmore-Chestnut

                        Fosters, Lobbs and no doubt all the other bespoke makers could make you a pair if you fancy bankruptcy. Prices start at £3500 for that option.

                            Hostem, a Shoreditch shop that looks like something out of a Tim Burton movie, have got a new bespoke room, and one of their suppliers is Sebastian Tarek, a bespoke shoemaker.

                            Tarek's doing a more contemporary spin on traditional footwear, which isn't hard when you consider that the John Lobb shop doesn't appear to have changed in the last century.

                            There was a Balmoral boot on display, which I was really taken with. It looked something like this.

                            And digging around on his site, I found a chukka boot for Giles.

                            Tarek himself has a background in the industry, having worked for James Taylor and Sons (an orthopedic and bespoke maker near Paddington). He's also a lot cheaper than the likes of Lobbs or Fosters, with shoes starting at £1500, which I'm assuming is ex-VAT. Fosters start at around £2300, whilst Lobbs are £3000.

                            He's also got a gnarly beard!

                              I'm currently having a bit of a thing for Tanker Boots.  😘

                              They were designed for tank crews in World War 2, and the straps mean that they don't get caught on bits of machinery. They also hold together better in a fire as they don't melt, and can be removed more easily in muddy conditions than laces.

                              The pair, above, are by Buzz Rickson. They're on special offer in a size 10 US at $530, down from $930. If anyone's tempted, the link is below.

                              http://www.historypreservation.com/hpassociates/detailpop.php?uniqnum=409

                              There's further information on the style here.

                                After seeing Lucifer and your posts above, I was reminded of tanker boots.  I went through a phase several years ago where I really wanted a pair, but never found the right ones.  Those Buzz ones are really nice, but not quite right for me now.

                                  I'm tempted by a pair of tanker boots because they look a bit different, but also removing laces means that they're a bit more motorbike friendly. (Laces are likely to fail in a slide down the road, followed by losing the boots and then bits of your anatomy.)

                                  The question would be whether they're generally versatile. There aren't many pictures of them being worn under trousers, but I suspect they might look a bit like a chukka boot with a Monk strap. This one has the trousers rolled up, so they look a bit more casual.

                                    I've found a couple of pictures of Monk chukka boots being worn.


                                    Something like a pair of the dressier Dehner Tanker Boots, or the Buzz Rickson's could possibly look respectable if worn without a cuff.

                                        I ve tried them on and waiting for a camouflage version. What you want to know?

                                          Hmmm, that pic makes them look much better.  You're starting to sway me, damn you. 🙂

                                          EDIT: just spent a solid half hour looking at tankers and trying to decide if I can justify another pair of boots.  Not cool, Graeme, not cool.

                                            Well, I would love a pair, but nowhere in Oslo got them afaik. How is the leather sole working on a pair of sneakers? and how is the construction quality overall?
