      Wow!!  Congrats!!

      Thank you! I believe you've advocated keeping it simple and that was part of the plan here. It'll be a week until I get my hands on them [emoji16]

        Yes, those are very clean - love the custom roller buckles, longer straps, natural edge…..

            Not in keeping with the simple philosophy I agree, and they're not for everyone. I just love the look of the double mid's and the boot has more heft with them as it counteracts the sleek MP toe. Also the conditions I'll be wearing them in dictate a double sole; everything that lifts me out of mud, snow, and sleet is good stuff.

              That's an awesome pair of boots, and they'll look even better with some wear on them! Double mid suits them, but I expect it will take a bit more to break them in fully.

                Yeah the oil-tanned lacks character initially but was a must if they're going to be year round boots. The good thing is I can use mink oil on them. And I've seen well worn examples that look ace.

                    My custom Boss which @Giles kindly had photographed for me. They are currently in Gosport about to be shipped and I am drooling into my telephone as I write this…

                    Beautiful @neph93 !

                    Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
                    Well, I have others.

                      Thank you! Shipped today. They'll be in my hands in a week as long as customs don't fuck me. Which they are totally going to do.

                        Yes!  Same leather but soft toe vs. toecap and double sole vs. single. It'll be cool to compare.

                                Thanks gents! The brown really pops the burgundy. Will be very interesting once the veg starts to patina

                                  It does. It's the subtle detail that makes the build.

                                  True, although I don't think I could live with the inevitable indigo stains. That's just me being a wus though.

                                      Yeah, I know. I really need to adjust my attitude to indigo stains on tanned leather. Don't give a fig about oil/mud/grass stains on denim. But I baby my leather… Wtf is that about? [emoji23]

                                        Yep…everything I own gets worn for everything I do...period. Hell, these will likely be breaking in alongside my SII. So they'll see maximum transfer. Just knuckle up and realize that's what we spend the money for
