@northsouthdenimguy those look amazing, you’ll have to post some pictures/impressions once you get them in. How long was the wait?

Yes, I will definitely post some pics and my thoughts.
I want to say I told him I wanted a pair last November. I shipped him the leather in May and he started July 1st. Once he gets rolling it only takes him a few weeks.
The last pair he did for me was about the same timeframe, Nine months plus or minus…

Thank you, I appreciate it

@northsouthdenimguy that wait time is not bad at all. Congrats on a beautiful pair of boots.

@ilksurfer what a shot! The sky looks like AI

My only suede boots. Trying to keep them not blue is an issue with my wardrobe hence the cuffs...

@ilksurfer Great pic

Even better in person. There was a little bit of heel slip with a thin boot sock (wearing thin for work since it’s blazing out), so I bumped it up to a medium-weight cushioned Darn Tough—the fit is spot on now, no heel slip. I much prefer a medium-weight sock for day-to-day wear with boots, so this is perfect.
The finishing is impeccable, exactly to my taste. I don’t like anything glossy, over-finished, or too perfect. There are no issues with stitching or any “bad” spots—just a really tight, well-executed handmade boot.

@northsouthdenimguy man those look awesome, I always forget about them but am always impressed by their stuff. +1 for the darn tough medium weight socks even in summer.

Trying a new "bargain" brand. Craft and Glory from India. Fit is true to normal stitch down boots. I wear a 10.5 in Mister Lou and 11 Nicks/Whites. Ordered a 10.5 and the fit is good. Looking forward to Mister Lou comparison in a month or so.

Very happy with these Craft and Glory boots so far. They are already comfortable, the grain is really nice and the break in is almost non-existent. The tread is grippy and solid. My complaints though limited would be the teeny pull tabs that may as well not be there, still a little squeaky though I think it's bearable and getting quieter.

Focusing on trying to wear these Unsung as much as possible. The waxed flesh is surprisingly more comfortable versus a couple Viberg service boots that I had in the same leather.

After selling my 3 pairs of Wesco Engineers (2 pairs too small and the other pair I rarely wear), my Role Clubs (too small and selling on Ebay now), an old pair of Natural CXL White's Nomads from the first batch of Nomads ever made, I picked up this pair of Devil's Causeway Horsehide Lofgren Engineers. I definitely need to use a ski boot shoehorn to get them on but the fit and quality are great. The texture on these is just insane.

An alternative to blood can also be squashed berries that fall onto the boots when harvesting
