      Shell is amazing stuff, I'm interested to see how they finish it and how it looks on the boots.  Sometimes it just looks 'off' if the boot is too work boot'ish, but when its right, man it's amazing.

        oh i missed that part. retract previous statement…

        I don't know where to ask this question, but:

        If I wear a 12 in Wolverine 1ks and Red Wing Moc Toes and Iron Rangers were too msall in a 12 (i would need a 13), what size would I need in a trench boot?

          Just have to give oak Street the praise it deserves. Sent my boat shoes into them last Thursday to have the insoles replaced, one had cracked in half, and I already have them back. Can't beat customer service like that. Plus they charged me nothing for them. Again, I love oak street

                I vaguely remember OSB posting somewhere about working on some oxfords coming out this year. Anyone else see that? I can't seem to find the link or post.

                  I'll second that ohighyo.  Tonys service was truly above and beyond.. And I had a lot of stupid questions for him.  Not unlike the kind of service offered by IHUK.
                  My natural trench with cristie (sp?) sole is becoming one of my favourite pairs at only a few weeks into our journey.  I truly love them and recommend OSB to all.

                      When these ones wear out I'll probably send back for a dainite resole..

                          Really looking forward to an IH boot collab that is within my budget 😃

                              some how with the materials used on this boot i'm not soo sure this collab will make your budgets  😉

                              i kind of wish they did a collab more geared towards riders, kind of like the one they did with deus ex machina.

                              http://www.roqkr.com/oak-street-bootmakers-deus-ex-machina/

                              or just something more rugged, kind of like they did for imogene+willie with the heavier sole

                              http://shop.imogeneandwillie.com/products/oak-street

                              sorry links will have to do for the moment.  love for both brands, but you've spoiled me with high standards.

                                I would have liked nat cxl with double sole like the bonobos collab

                                    Our collab, if built as specced (& the reason I have not posted specs yet, is there's many a slip twixt cup and lip) will have double leather and Dainite soles….

                                    They are out for delivery as I type, so pics will be up soon.....

                                      I really love the danite soles. That was a good choice.

                                          really like the brown OSB mikey linked too.. Minus the toe cap. Looks so good worn. +1 with dainite
