Thanks for the details mate, it helps paint the picture. I've seen at least 1 video of the place but it was very partial. And there's no smell-a-vision on the internet yet. Smell is big :).

(and hopefully I don't need to drop you a line ;))

Okay, 9.5's are on. defo better on the toe. Have been walking around the carpeted part of the house for the last 10 minutes and they feel good all over.  Now to walk outside f*ck the wooden sole up and kiss good bye return ability :|

[grandmasterben]

Oh wow you already got them?? I thought you'd have to wait a long time. Great that they fit so far!

[mclaincausey]

Yeah I thought Snowy was stretch leather or amputating flesh with his first pair. Sweet Snow, welcome to the happy fraternity of Road Champions

[Snowy]

Yeah they're here. I purchased this pair before I'd sold the other pair. I was committed to getting a pair of these working. Credit cards are good sometimes ;).

The guys @ MF were as always ever so helpful, as soon as I reached out saying that they weren't fitting so well they placed this pair of 9.5's to the side incase I wanted them. True gentlemen.

2 hrs of non-stop walking and all is well :). No toes coming off, hopefully :).

It was love at first sight last time, and it continues to be the case. Sorry Ben :).

Really amazing toe shape.

Snowy thx buddy

Very happy for u you got the champs on your feet now, they look great, wear em well. Love the colorway on this batch

[Anesthetist]

Damn Snowy, I am truly jealous!! Those look fantastic. I don't know if I could do the whole engineer boot thing but if I tried it would be with those.

[Snowy]

Thanks Gents. This time around over a full day of walking and the dream is continuing. Tight to get on/off but very secure throughout the day, very minimal heel slip. I'm about to throw away the box they came in, woo hoo!

Just purchased the denim Prairie Shirt (16.5") and indigo corduroy El Americano waistcoat (42"). I'm unsure if to do an initial cold soak on the Prairie Shirt as I'm contemplating wearing it raw and straight out of the box.

Has anyone on the board experience of this particular shirt? Just wondering what's best in the long run.

I'd love to see a fitpic of the indigo cord jacket (and give that shirt a soak) …

[mclaincausey]

So happy for you man, from despair to delight in days.

On mine, like Christophe I did add a tighter hole to the angle straps to snug up the fit in that region of the boot.

Many thanks. Haven't the jacket but will post a pic of the waistcoat in due course. 

[FurattoHeddo]

Must have misread that, a pic of the waistcoat is welcome as well

[summ3rhays]

Cheers mate (on both counts). I've added a tighter hole after following your lead, it has dropped the minimal heal-slip to almost non-existant. They're already more comfortable than the RW's I wore for a good 3 months before deciding they didn't fit. Now if I can just get more foot-time in
