On the sizing advice? Absolutely spot on. I took the risk of not getting a brannock device as East West have an excellent returns policy.
-
Mis-sized my last JL Engineers. Sized down one and very happy now.
Natural CXL.

Patina Thunderdome has a new worn boots competition category. Kind of thinking of entering my Badalassi Grigios. My concern is if I wear em super hard they will just end up looking like my nattys color wise. Kind of feel they might be headed that way already….
Nattys with 3 years hard wear
Vs
Badalassi Grigios with 9 months light wear
-
Pretty sweet seeing some comparison pics of these man. Side note, my juvenile (and slightly dyslexic) brain always initially reads Badalassi Grigios as; Badass Gringo
-
gonna wear mine more to look like that!
-
My chapmans arrived the other day but im stuck in Croatia for work for another 4 days, suspense is killing me!
-
@flannel-slut that’s pretty hilarious because my brain has done the same exact thing!!
All you leather nerds out there…what are your thoughts on what direction this Badass Gringo is headed? Think it will end up looking the same as the natty cxl? Trying to decide if I’d rather wear them less hard and preserve their color a bit, for the sake of variety in my collection.
In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

@Mizmazzle there are some examples on patina project of badalassi grigio leather! Looks like they are a (for me) completely different color when aged.
-
@Mizmazzle man I think I’d go with the gringos and see how they turn out since they have a lot less wear.
-
-
@ZackB yeah. I’d 100% be going with the Grigios. But I don’t want to end up with two pairs of boots that look almost identical is all.
@FlavourFade thanks bro. I did look on there and the only boots in this leather I saw didn’t seem to have much wear on em. I’ll check back and see if I missed any.
-
@ZackB black!
-
Chapmans in Black CXL, i emailed them asking sizing advice and they said same as donkey punchers, did 9D as they dont have E in this last, the length is perfect but its pretty tight across the top, not unbearable but not perfect like the donkey punchers, hoping the pressure at the end of the tongue before the toe eases up a bit, they are beautiful though thats forsure. Can send pics of other angles if anyone wants
-
@Ikeaparty hose look great man! What’s your brannock if you know it. I always appreciate some E widths when possible too.
-
@ZackB thanks man! I actually don't know my brannock! I just know that 9E Lofgren fits me perfectly haha, the 9D that they said would fit the same does not but it's getting better each wear!
-
@Ikeaparty good to hear man! I think we’re about the same size then. Glad they’re gradually taking shape for you. Hopefully they fit perfectly soon.
-
Thanks to my man Brennan @flannel-slut for answering all the questions I had about these. They are as awesome as you said.
