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.
Surprised you're not on a plane to Gosport to pick them up [emoji3]

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.

Looking forward to see your pair and mine break in

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 !

@steelworker:

@neph93 !

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.

So geeked right now!!! Custom fit is spot on. I cannot wait to start breaking these beasts in

[tmg]

Fantastic colour combo, really like those!

[neph93]

Beautiful. The brown double mid is so nice here.

[jdl1279]

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

@jdl1279:

It does. It's the subtle detail that makes the build.
@jdl1279:

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

[jdl1279]

Haha, I went this route for the inevitable evo. Eventually that just turns black anyhow

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]

[jdl1279]

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

[Giles]

Given mine a lot of abuse, not a lot of staining going one….

[neph93]

I need to give 100% fewer fucks with regards to this for sure.

[jdl1279]

Or you can just wear ducks all the time

Those are burlap uppers if I remember correctly?

[Giles]

They are….

[jdl1279]

Would have thought they'd take more color with that kinda abuse. I expect the veg will a bit more, once I finally get the stiff feckin uppers  broke in
