Damn, my size too! If I wasn't moving to a new apartment (have to put down first/last/deposti/fee/first born) I would jump on them.

A deck VEST. Melton lined. Interesting.

better late than never right?







you can always tell they are my boots because the heels get scarred up real bad (didn't bother with taking a pic of that), real quick…. my rolling chair at the tattoo studio always bangs up the back of any foot wear no matter how conscious I am about it... but hey WABI SABI!

[mclaincausey]

Dude. The toe collapse is epic, the grain on the stovepipes is stoopid!

I'll try to catch up once the snow hits the ground and takes my RCs out of rotation. But those are already fantastic.

[Bluegrass]

Wow.  I am soooooo jealous.  Fantastic, thanks for the post.  These boots are nuts.

[mclaincausey]

Man, hate on CXL all you want, I am staggered by how well Lofgren engineers break in. The leather (this is in case Mega sees this) is BUTTERY soft and supple.

[tatmantall]

sooooo buttery

MCL, I can always do some buttery porn action when you think they're in their prime if you read me 5 by 5.

if these were my size I would purchase them, that badalassi leather is amazing. someone should get these

[superfuzz]

Wow those are the blue ones? They look really dark in the pics.

[tatmantall]

yeah, im not sure that they have only been worn a few times as the seller states but they are a great boot. Would be interested in seeing the work on the strap replacement up close but either way worth the money IMO

[superfuzz]

If they were the cognac leather if pull the trigger. Not sure how much I'd wear the blue ones.

[Bluegrass]

These look more worn than seller states imo, but I love the way they've broken in - gorgeous - amazing how the blue darkens up.

[SLAB]

how are they sized? TTS or half/full size down?

[tatmantall]

I sized down half from my wesco and road champs

[mclaincausey]

I went TTS but I have room for thick socks cos I live in the tundra. I also have an insole.

[mclaincausey]

There are some PRISTINE size 11 Baldalassi cognacs on eBay. $900 + $25 shipping.

[tatmantall]

Speaking to the guy for measurements right now… Wondering if can work with thin socks

[mclaincausey]

He posted some measurements in the description I think
