I bought deadstock Cat's Paw half soles for mine but I just can't bring myself to do it. Takeshi's triple sole is so awesome.

For now, these are just to be used when it isn't snowing. I haven't worn them in a while and it will be a while yet before I can. Bummer, but I think it's the right move. When it's time to resole I will consider the Cat's Paws.

anyone interested in a midnight peacoat in a 34, fits like 36?

MF Appaloosa to get me through a week or so of Disney fun.  Still nice and crisp but a week of 100 % humidity may change that.

I believe the shrinkage was just about what was listed. I forgot to measure, but it definitely shrank down in size. It's a fairly loose fit from the pits down. Very comfortable. I'll try to measure when I get home, but I'd check SE & MF's site to compare.

Hi Summer, how do the Pallidenim's looks whilst wearing jeans? Over the top, or somewhat okay. Starting to try figure out foot-wear for the trip in April. These look like a contender, but have never seen with denim jeans..thanks.

[summ3rhays]

I usually cuff my jeans which breaks it up a bit. I usually pair with 705 or cords. I don't typically wear them with jeans.

Snowy i linked you on IG to someone wearing it with denim

I think they look good with any pair of trousers imo. Regardless if chinos cargos jeans but i dont own them

[Chris]

I had a pair of the Palladenims and eventually sold them because I didn't like the "all denim from the waist down" look.  I love Palladium boots, though.  Of the 4 pairs I've owned in the last 5 years,  my favorites, and the ones I feel have been the most versatile, are my basic Pampa high boots in khaki.

@davito, million thanks for that. Sunday's post was from 49 weeks back. Deep and honest thanks for digging back that far and pulling out for me. Amazing you remembered it too.

@Chris/Summer, I kinda agree it'll likely be too much denim, especially considering I wear IHC-10+33+(634|Hawaii) already. The MF's saved my brain from thinking about other models, looks like I'll be looking into it - thanks Chris.

anyone order this junky 7161?

[summ3rhays]

Those are pretty wild

[Snowy]

The OG's look amazing after a few years wear. Cotton Duck's below;

[davito]

The OG are the 7161, so called Frankenstein jeans only 48 raw pairs in USA the above are the md's a bit later than the utility trousers very cool pants, had two of em

[Snowy]

@davito, thanks, didn't know that either. The Junky line compares againsts the 7161MD's also in it's pictures…

[davito]

No prob. The 7161 was kinda the proto for the md with horsehide pocket later. Also the Md is pretty rare to find nowadays as well

[davito]

The Junky collabo seems to have some tiny lil diff details compared to the og 7161 like placing of coin pocket

[Snowy]

Yup, denimbro's picked up;
"Those 716's are slightly different. The originals had a blue chambray ID tag on the right ankle, not white cotton fabric. Also, the original did not have the hidden coin pocket in the front pocket, it was actually inside the jean! "

[davito]

You see the diff also very good comparing cotton ducks og 7161 in his blog to the junky model
