The Flat Head

[davito]

thanks for your review Kyle, excited to see your updates from time to time

Interesting how low the gusset strap is on those. Nice boots, though I personally like longer stovepipes on my engineers. Would have cost a fortune in that leather though.

cool CS, looking forward to some more pics then

yeah yeah, please keep coming back CS. Would love to hear how they break in for you, and see them in action. Those horses look ready for anything! PS they look pretty reasonably priced if my math is correct. $1000USD?

That's a sweet looking fit Ben, nice one!

Now if we can just convince you to do something about the shoes…

[grandmasterben]

Thanks guys!

And heh, I promise I'm working on it Chris

Snowy:  Yep, retail is 100,000 JPY / about $1000 USD.  Expensive, yes, but considering the overall quality and the scarcity of this ultra-thick horse butt leather (the included card says it's even rarer than cordovan!) I'd say that you certainly get what you pay for.

Here's another pic of my new boots.  The color is true to life in this one. I wore these on the train to church and around town… they feel amazing already.  My feet are happy indeed.

Those def look sweet and I can't wait to see them as they darken up. Here's some measurements of my 3009s

@Cold:

New boot day.  These are Flat Head's SKB-70H horsehide boots.

I've handled many of the high-end brands, and these are the nicest I've ever seen.  The leather is seriously incredible, they're comfortable and fit well right out of the box, the construction and details are beautiful.

Here's a pic of a pair that's been worn for two years.

Holy crap… My new favorite engineer... Wonder what size these go up to?

[Cold Summer]

I got the largest size.  It's supposed to be a size 10 US, but I wear an 11.5 in Vans and Converse, and these fit perfectly.

[tatmantall]

Ahhh…. Bummer I'm a 13 in cons and vans  :-... Great score none the less enjoy em man I look forward to seeing these age!
