Oak Street Bootmakers

I'm afraid I have indeed been persuaded… The pricetag on these isn't too bad either if you ask me!..

[Geo]

unless you buy them from End Clothing . . . then it's $1 = £1

anyways . . . still have your thought nameness - cheers

[Seul]

Def importing from the States through proxy if I decide on getting a pair… 1 $ = 1 £ is a solid rip-off, even taking into consideration import taxes and such...

1.00 GBP = 1.61186 USD

I mean come on now!..

[nameness]

You know I'm good to do it for you if you want, Seul.  Just hit me up when/if the time comes.

[Seul]

Oh I know, lad!.. I know!.. But I don't want t bother the same people 2 times in a row… No worries - I have heaps of people who can and will help me out!.. Thank you for your offer of course, and remember I will ship to you for free (ltd. by total measurements though).

[Geo]

love this forum for all the good stuff and help that goes on

[nameness]

No biggie, I'm on the edge of ordering the Navy ones myself…

[Seul]

Probs ordering brown… Anyone who can tell me whether these fit TTS?.. Also: how long does it generally take for an item to be made?..

[Seul]

Asked them about how they fill out the custom form after having placed my order…

The eejit strikes again!..

[Geo]

i think those meds are a bit too strong for you . . . along with the wine et al

[Seul]

I imagine someone reading my mail at the Oak Street HQ  just sighing thinking "It's gonna be a looooooong day"…

Yes TTS. Went with an 11 and they are perfect! Wore them the last two days. Will post flicks whenever I get a chance…

Width?  Get them onto my plates of meat?  I'm an E in Alden (well, I'm not any more but used to be!!)

[Seul]

On a SUNDAY this guy takes 32 minutes to respond… AND helps me out enormeously...  ???
Can't go into specifics (Giles pointed out some tech stuff), but yeah: I'm saved 

I linked him to this thread btw - so if you read this, THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN!..

[Geo]

that pretty much seals it for me then . . .

what's the indication on delivery?

[Seul]

I forgot to inquire about that… Sunday, eejit, meds, wine... It says 6 weeks on the site so I'm gonna be patient...

I have a feeling a few of us will have a new love in our lives pretty soon!..

[Geo]

no worries - delivery is what it will be . . . eejit!

[nameness]

@Geo:

Took mine about 6 weeks but if you've ever ordered anything from Quoddy (same factory, I believe) you know that time can really vary.  If you hit 6 weeks and nothing is happening, just email them.

[Seul]

Cool - thanks for that nameness!..

@Giles:

They come in what feels like a standard D but I want to say I've seen mention of them making different widths, just email them.

Pics of worn-in Navy pair…
