    Well, that's that! @Jim says he's good to go, and that's good enough for me!

    I've seen lots of his work around IG, and it looks VERY solid.

    Guess I need to dream up my build and gather materials now…..

          Wear holes in my Trooper Boots…

          Any repair suggestions (Darning vs patching), or repair shop suggestions?

          I'm curious–are these lined underneath the NOS canvas in any way?

          Think it, be it.

              No lining whatsoever, just a single layer of canvas

                  Indigo staining/crocking of light brown roughout boots: How are you guys dealing with this? I have seen some serious stains, but most brown roughout boots I see on the forum are (if at all) only slightly indigo stained. My relatively new Lofgren Donkey Punchers started staining from day 1, but I only started wondering when wearing them briefly (20min) with the new IH-634-XHSib and it added serious indigo in just 20min. So: are you only wearing boots like this with older jeans, or is the staining reduced with roll-ups (most my newer jeans are hemmed, so often no roll up), or you just don't care about it?
                  cheers
                  UPDATE: found this short thread that deals with the issue https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/topic/6051/rough-out-and-suede-care

                    See also a related question that I asked a week ago and the reply of a forum a member to it:

                    @cityofdelusion said in Frequently Asked Questions:

                    While we're at it: Is it possible to remove indigo stains from suede/rough out?

                    @krebsy said in Frequently Asked Questions:

                    You can use a mild soap and nylon bristle brush to scrub suede/roughout leather. It can take it. Afterwards, let them air dry thoroughly (no heat). You can try an eraser or more scrubbing on any stubborn spots. Once they are as clean as you can get/would like, consider a spray like Terrago Nano Spray to help keep them cleaner for longer. I've not had great luck completely removing indigo transfer, but this process will usually help somewhat.

                      I gave my boots their spring cleaning over the weekend and couldn't resist sharing a picture of my Wolverine 1000Miles in Horween Chrome Excel. These started their life black in 2014 and have been resoled once.

                      The other boots I own are:
                      Alden Wick boot (from SOP) 1x resole (bought in 2020)
                      Y2 EB-01 Eco Horse Engineer boots (bought in 2022)

                      Most days, I wear either one of these 3 pairs.
