ALDEN

^Sounds like a Roy Boot in snuff suede or Kudu.

Since we're dreaming.. I'll go for something like this:

with a heavy duty twist since this is IH - 360 degree storm welt and commando sole like this tanker:

but with a Natural Edge trim. Cordovan leather (Ravello, Whiskey, Cigar, #8 or black) is a must to go with the IH Wallets.

nice****** more dressed up

[Beatle]

but when I really think about it - Iron Heart x Alden collab should be more along the lines of work boot / heavy duty boots

also - Vibram sole might fit the needs

[Beatle]

i guess u won´t be surprised if I say that I love style No. 2..lol…

first one is very Viberg - RW mix

Leather Sole Hawaii have had the Tanker Boot in Black Cordovan, just type 'Tanker' into their search facility.
Tassells in Hong Kong have had the Tanker Boot in Whiskey Cordovan as well.
I have them in #8 and they are my favourites.
I would post some pictures but my wife has the camera and she's in Spain.

also - what do you guys think about a low version ?

[nixage]

Damn, that Tanker boot is so nice.  I like the Context version as well.

I'm not sure if I bought my whiskey longwings a bit large so will wear them in and then decide on what sizing is best for me before jumping in on another pair.  Right now, I'm really leaning toward the ultimate indy from leathersoul.

@Beatle:

I'm not too sure it goes with the aesthetic but I have been eyeing these for some time now. I guarantee if these came out with an IH twist I would be stoked. I just don't see it though…

Simon,
Yup. Know all about the LS and Tassels make-ups. The idea I had in mind is a combination of the LeatherSoul Hawaiian NST Tanker and the Tassels Ravello Hunting Boot

Ravello
Captoe
Metal eyelets with Speedhooks
360 degree Storm Welt
Commando Sole
Barrie Last

Probably not going to happen but one can dream.

[nixage]

I'm in love with these

sweet ..so we gotta start saving some serious $$$ - SExIH collabs, GilesXIH new stuff, IHXAD collab ….I better clean out the closet and get rid of a lot of boots and jeans that won't get any wear**

[Dexter_]

Nice. I did hear about a possible LS x SE collab a while back. Denim and Boot combo maybe.

[Beatle]
