Lone Wolf Boots (Sugar Cane)
-
thanks eastwest i wont be buying them at the moment so i can wait i could even be your first customer ,do you have the website or link for the sugarcane distributaor by chance ?
-
almost went ahead and copped a pair of these lw carpenter boots today.
i was after the brown but they only had the black pair in stock…wasn't too sure about the silver eyelets on the all black pair. a bit too much contrast imo so i passed -.-
they fit a tad larger as your standard pair of boots (red wing for example). still i would take the same size in both though!
-
And I like the brown better
-
did you see them local to you or were you going to order on line ,as if it was in germany / ill drive over and buy a pair
-
I'd been admiring these on Rakuten also.
In Finn's pic, I noticed something odd about the box. It says "St. Louis Missouri". However a google search doesn't show any Lone Wolf boots in Missouri or in the US.
What's up with the box labeling?
Japanese pay a lot of attention not only in the product also on labelling and package. They just love referring to heritage from USA
Here some Infos on this particular bootshttp://historypreservation.com/hpassociates/detailpop.php?uniqnum=326

The brown is so much better on those.

While researching the St. Louis Missouri connection to Lone Wolf boots, I discovered Thorogood's, Made in the US, lace to toe Roofer boots.
Looks very similar to Lone Wolf carpenter model but at 1/3 the price (or even less if you get black not brown):
-
As I recall, Injun Jack has a pair of the Thorogood Roofers in the two tone brown and likes them a lot. I know other forum members have had good experiences with other Thorogood models. So if you like the look of those, you should feel confident about buying a pair.

Brown ones all day long… Or LTT Jobmasters ;P
-
Now that I look around a bit more, I like the smooth finish of the Wireman model:

Doesn't look like there's any US retailer where I could try them on. (I don't have great luck buying shoes online.)

You should be able to pick up Lone Wolf boots at Hinoya in Ueno, Tokyo.
