[Giles]

So we are having 12 people for dinner tonight.

Mrs G sprung this on me this morning, " people are getting dressed up you know".  Now this causes me a problem, I won't go to a restaurant that wont let me in wearing denim and flannel.

Problem solved.  21oz selvedge denim bow tie:

That was a great read - the denim tuxedo jacket looks awesome… Was great to read about the Levi's rider's jacket as well 

[Geo]

tut-tut Mr Bond - i think etiquette and dress-code would have demanded Super Black . . . 

[Giles]

Damn right, but no sbg lying around.

[Geo]

I'm sure you'll carry it off no problem

As long as there is no-one there dabbing blood from his tear-duct - dinner will be just fine

Hope you both have a great time!!

@Seul:

Also felt up some Red Wings - lightweight and didn't really seem like they were sturdy compared to my Grensons… Really don't understand the appeal and rep they have...  :-\

I agree. They are very different though, the Red Wings are basically work boots, where as ready to wear Grensons are a volume  production version of a bespoke gentleman's shoe. Also, on average Grenson's are 50% -100% more than Red Wings, and i kind of feel Red wings are a little over priced?

i cant complain about the red wings i used for work for many years.  the soles held out forever and they had good ankle support.  they were great for jobs where i crouched alot because the sole was stiff so it didnt put alot of pressure on the arches of my feet, plus in the usa you can bring your boots into any red wing shoe store and they will replace the soles for you.    they must be cheaper in the states than they are in other countries because i felt like compared to most "good" work boot companies they were priced pretty well.

I think we're comparing apples and oranges. Those Grensons, while not my style, look like they would be good for going out on the town or travel, but I sure as hell wouldn't wear them as a workboot.

Whether I'm rebuilding the back deck or hiking the rainforest in Puerto Rico, my Red Wings have been my go-to boot for the last couple years. Those Grensons look like they would hold up great to daily wear for years, but I'm not sure how the top is going to hold up if I had to rest some lumber on the top of my boots.

[riffblaster general]

exactly.

Red wings are great work boots the white wedge
Is good for walking on concrete all day and not to heavy
But for heavy steel fabrication I like my danners or wescos
Because the leather is twice as thick
