bit of a false start today to pick up some custom boots but hoping to have them in a couple of weeks

@pechelman SCAPPOOSE!!!!!

@Inorganic Or "the poose" if you went to high school there

[pechelman]

@bluemantra I've got a pair of Nick's I've had since 2015 but I wouldn't say they've been worn hard by any means.

Here they are brand new, a couple years ago after a conditioning, and today. Dunno if it's just this run of natural cxl but mine haven't aged a bunch compared to some other nat cxl boots I've seen.

@pechelman Thanks, they definitely look like they've taken on a light brown versus the grayish color when new.

[bluemantra]

Does anyone have red wing amber harness to compare to british tan from wesco?

[Mlwdp]

A lot of times I feel somewhat torn on whether or not I should have gotten mp toe but then I remember how uncomfortable they felt on the first model I had, Horween black horsehide.

@hgering27 amazing collection! I’ll need to do one of these shots… those lugs done by unsung look badass!

[hgering27]

@SourPower thanks! I absolutely love the lugs, wanted to distinguish them a little more from the ISP pair. I actually sent the shop vancouver pair in last week to get lugged as well, really excited to see how those turn out. I have always loved the burlap/lug look

[bluemantra]

In case anyone else is interested. Chris sent me some samples and here’s British tan compared to red wing amber harness. I ended up going with the Maryam natural horsehide. There’s some photos with natural Essex and natural CXL.

[SourPower]

@bluemantra you made the right choice, loving the texture on the sample!

[bluemantra]

@SourPower thanks, yeah the honey combing looks great and it has this slight honey or caramel color compared to the Essex.

Admiring the grain of the teacore horsehide from Maryam tannery.

[flannel slut]

@hgering27 leave it to me to be looking at anything but the subject matter…. Those floor tiles are fantastic!!
Edit: boots ain’t too shabby either

[hgering27]

@flannel-slut hahah thanks, came with the house, a bit eccentric but its a cool pattern

[hgering27]

I’m having trouble passing on engineers that I keep seeing pop up right now. These ship John’s came out so damn good afternoon seeing the images I couldn’t pass them up. I just love anything lug sole

Also wearing them with my newly acquired 1955 OD denim

[SourPower]

@hgering27 amazing pick up, they look fantastic with the 1955s and the hem is perfect!
