      @neph93:

      I'm a total boot noob! I wear Adi Dasslers finest three stripes whenever I can, then I've got an old pair of generic steel caps for working in and an old pair of donated hunting boots for hiking/cabin trips and so on. The only casual boots I've got is a pair of black, lined Clarks that cost about $200 that I've had for autumn/winter use the last three years.

      I'm painfully aware that I need to up my boot game. I'm not quite ready to splurge $800 on some of the badassery available here. I'm just not sure I love boots that much (yet). So I'm thinking something more "entry level" that cost around $400, like Red Wings or Wolverines. They need to be able to tackle rain and not be useless in ice and snow. Lining isn't a must as woollen socks are boss.

      Here's the question: Based on the above, which boots should I buy?

      Definitely consider Oak Street Bootmakers if you're heading down the $400 path. I have a pair of rough out service boots that look and fit beautifully.

          Thanks for the tip.

          I ended up taking the golden middle way and got a pair of Viberg/IH collabs 2nd hand from a forum member. The IHVB-03CT. They happened to be the perfect size and the best boot for the conditions where I live. Synchronicity is a sexy mofo.

                The IH ones are cushioned and heavy, but I think the L&L are the warmest 🙂

                      Need jeans & work pants, made well with a tapper & interesting fabrics. Think I'm a  true 33 at the moment but my inseam is about 30.

                      Any ideas???

                        ^Same but 33" inseam. I like a double roll. Also: need a heavy duty olive (drab) coloured hoodie… W+H had one on Gilt but it's imported. I'll do imported if it's 2nd hand though.

                        But let's help Mike first - if there's any hope left...

                          633s-ii for the jeans? I really love the 633 cut. Slim, but roomy enough to be comfortable and that indigo-indigo looks awesome.

                              My guess would be IHM-10 in black.

                                Thanks, I didn't see the buttonholes in the wind flap and thought this might be another jacket without buttons.

                                    Where can I find Patagonia gear somewhat cheaper online? Preferably in the EU. Looking to buy a Patagonia Stormfront Roll Top Pack, and they don't seem too easy to come by.

                                          If I wanted to hem my jeans to 32", at what length should I cut to account for the folds??

                                          I'm looking for the answer now, just thought I'd ask in case anyone knows real quick…

                                            You'd cut at 33", @adam313.
