@Gianny-Boy wasn’t the easiest to photograph, I’m not so good at it either
But vegtan leather and brass combo🤎 so hoping to upgrade to the brass EZ slider🫶

[Gianny Boy]

@mecken88 thats what im talking about!!! IT all plays together so well, grats on that wonderful aging too! Didnt realize how beefy that chain is on the big wallet.

[mecken88]

@Gianny-Boy thanks man! I like them a lot, I have them on me everyday

When I bought the Gibson wallet my initial plan was to choose the EZ slider instead of the fish hook. But it was out of stock so I ended up getting the fish hook anyway.
So I’m excited when it finally are coming back, it has that fancy new touch with the SJ logo hoping I’ll be able to buy one🫶

@mecken88 that belt buckle is super cool!

[mecken88]

@Bobcat-Sig yeah iv liked Pigeon Tree since I first saw them a couple of years ago. The double prong quick buckle was what caught my eye, different but very cool!
Took way too long before I ordered a belt. And Isaac Paul is the best dude, deserves all the love!
Being so genuine, kind and down to earth, and also be making one of the better belts in the industry is just a winning combo! Can’t recommend his stuff enough! 🫶

Almost don’t remember my Derrolls when brand new and looking like that
But a few funny comparison pictures of what’s on the horizon when worn a lot🤎

@mecken88 Amazing You done right

[Bobcat Sig]

So much Derrell hotness in here!

It has me looking. I know the 7500 Boss engineer boot from Wesco x Ship John came with the V-bar sole and that’s one of the distinguishing features between it and the Mr Lou, the latter having the Dr Sole half-sole. Were the Derrolls ever fitted with a Dr Sole half-sole? (And probably a good question for the Wesco thread)

[mecken88]

@Denimhead-0 thank you sir!🫶 I wear them every single day

[northsouthdenimguy]

Not today, but I had to get on the Derroll boot train

[northsouthdenimguy]

@Bobcat-Sig

The current make up is the only one I’m aware of, and it seems to me that Mike likes the full sole, maybe better for riding?

[hgering27]

@Bobcat-Sig I think, and I could be wrong, but I think that is basically the Iron Heart Germany Boss boot, I have that one and from what I understand its otherwise identical to the Derrolls

Fellas, thank you. I did go out and find the IH Germany boot, and it does come with a split-sole, using the V-bar, whereas Mike's Ship John Derroll is the full-length V-bar sole. Both seem to be a British Tan Domain rough out.

I've found a pair on the secondary market that seems to bear the construction of the IH Germany boot, but the split-sole is Dr Sole with a V-Bar heel. Seller claims Iron Heart. And they don't look to be resoled. Mainly, I'm trying to verify that they are a Ship John collab and that they are not a Mr Lou.

The stamp on the inside of the shaft looks to be a 2023 boot, so maybe, at some point, these were made with a Dr Sole split-sole.

This rabbit hole is deep!

[hgering27]

@Bobcat-Sig hmm yeah possibly an older version, but I have only seen those soles on Mister Lou's. Maybe the earlier models used the Dr Sole
