Sure thing bud! I'll post it on denimbro too

[Sugar Mountain]

Ben - how's the length of the Lofgren t-shirt working out for you? I know you're particular about this on shirting and the measurements on SE make this one look quite long in the body compared to tees I own from TFH, Warehouse and 3-Sixteen.

[mclaincausey]

Lofgren, like Mister Freedom, lengthens their stuff to be tucked I think generally.

[grandmasterben]

It's definitely longer than my flat head tees… But te material is so nice and different that it's worth it to me to keep. Plus I think it looks cool tucked.

[mclaincausey]

Tragic soles on these

[grandmasterben]

Yep.  If it aint broke, don't completely fuck it up!

[superfuzz]

Totally. WTF! It might be fun just trying to wear the fuck out of those soles to have them replaced tho.

[Bluegrass]

Yuck

[mclaincausey]

I also miss the double sole on these. I would have to have them immediately fixed. Great-looking leather though…

[superfuzz]

If Ronald McDonald rode a motorcycle he'd wear these boots.

[tatmantall]

Leather looks dope.

[Bluegrass]

I saw VEB commented on these, that "crepe soles are a big deal in Japan"… And agree that leather is dope.

[Scottystyles]

Wow! That's a good way to fuck up a perfect boot! Fugly!!

One of the boots they like to stick the crepe soles on is the Rios Ropers. But I don't think I've ever seen that exact same sole as used on the Mushmans on any other boot. Usually like this:

That leather/color would probably look pretty good on the Lofgren Donkey Puncher.

[Giles]

Mushmans specced them for the Japanese market and I suspect they don't give a toss that markets they are not releasing them for, do not like them….

[Chiba J.]

They look a lot better worn than I would have thought.

[Chris]

That's a nice color, and I suspect it will darken with age and look really good.

So, what is the deal with the Japanese and crepe soles?

[Bluegrass]

when an engineer boot and a clark's desert boot have a baby…
