Dead stock USA chucks!

And…..

[Anesthetist]

Seriously though, how the heck do you do it?

[urbanwoodsman]

How much did you sell the chucks for?

[riffblaster general]

@urb…. I traded them to a friend with a vintage shop for some choice goodies.

@anesthetist.... I'm a little lucky and I guess I'm just good at sniffing stuff out.

[urbanwoodsman]

Damn. I really like those.

[riffblaster general]

Shit. Sorry dude.  I wish I'd heard from you sooner.

[Qinhan]

Damn those Converse are fine.  Very nice score.

[scroogen]

Two small camouflage M65 jackets. Still water repellant.

[Giles]

Brilliant

I got these beautiful antique boots at the goodwill for four bucks. No maker's mark, but check out the nails and horseshoe-like things on the sole. Does anyone have some wisdom to drop on me about these? They're comfy boots, but they need a resole. Although the sole is what makes them interesting. Sorry for the crappy pics.

Those are awesome. Dig the hobnails.  Let's see some pics of the inside.

Looks like a zug grain  jump boot.

I'm gonna have to google zig grain. The leather is nice and thick, but pretty supple. Here's the inside:

Exactly what they are, nice score.

[Giles]

Jump boots are normally higher than that are they not?

[Megatron1505]

Not always, but they could be parade boots looking at the hobnails and the cap.
