      Followup re cats paw from viberg thread if interested

      @davito:

      cats paw heel will not slip todd and its vintage inspired as cats paw and biltrite were rubber companies supporting shoemakers. some of the heels are repros but in some cases you will get a deadstock heel on to the boot if lucky 🙂 all personal taste mate  🙂

      some info

          The irritation has finally been pushed passed my limits. Is Chukka pronounced "chuh-ka or shoe-ka"?

              I say "chucka" but I'm just a redneck.

              Think it, be it.

                      Mind blown by all the various pronunciations, I had always believed that there was only one way to say it  😞

                        Yeah, same here. Then I heard two French-Canadians–on separate occasions-- who appeared to have a decent grasp of the english language pronounce it "shoe-ka" and I've been questioning the appropriate pronunciation ever since.

                              G-Star, before G Star, and 5 times the price. It was all the rage 5 or 6 years ago, but I wouldn't touch it these days, at that price point there is an abundance of far superior denim, including the dudes who run this very forum.

                                @Mega, I think the real random questions is why do you have that? (And I asked the question before googling the cult; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aum_Shinrikyo )

                                  I read Underground by Murukami some years ago, which is a book of pure testimony from victims and survivors of the Tokyo Gas Attack, I then went on to extensively research Aum as a cultural phenomenon, and reading a little of their own literature gave the research balance.

                                    oh right, how'd it come across reading? From looking @ the covers it reads way off to someone who's spent time practicing (that's what got me googling).

                                      It reads like it was written by a delusional egomaniac, who wants to talk more about how awesome he is at yoga, than how awesome yoga is.

                                            Placed an order with HW Carter and Sons mid week for a few Merz henleys.. I have heard not a peep since Wednesday night with an email stating my border went through and is awaiting confirmation. Anyone have experience with this company? Is this slow service normal?
