Correct, of course H.J Justin, the Lucchese brothers,  and Antonio Llama were all local bootmakers at one point as well.

before and after.

Got a bit of wear on these now. I tend to take the cloth I use for LP and wipe em down at night, not applying anything more than residual from the cloth but buffing heavy scuffs as I go.

Not Bornheim, but I find they are pretty average for US boot sizing. I wear a 11D in these as I would many US manufacturers , though Red Wing would be 11.5 C for a more accurate fit.

Cheers old chap! Does that mean red wing are half a size longer for you on the whole?

It's more that they offer narrow widths than a length issue. I can get away with a 12B as well though I prefer the 11.5C for optimal fit. The length in both sizes is very close, in fact a 11D, 11.5C, and 12 B in RW are all pretty close length wise.

Hope that was helpful, I was still pretty drunk when I typed it. Not sure size and scale should be attempted discussion in those conditions

[Cutlasshound]

Don't worry I was pretty smashed too!!!!

I wear size 12D and I had a hard time finding them anywhere, finally found these 2 on Ebay of all places. If you wear a more regular size, Schott has the Cordo colored one here:

Good luck though, Chippewa's supply chain for the Original line is absolutely terrible. TLDR; If you see them somewhere in your size, pull the triggah.

I think they run TTS. But you could get away with going a half size down if you wear thinner socks.

Also, some shots of the sand suede Service Boot:
