Viberg has no Ontario retailers currently (super lame) don't think whites does either. And Filson is at Oliver Spencer's I believe . And yeah get outside rocks!

[pillowPANTS]

I def need to try them on. Their sizes are all over the place. I wear 12 in sneaker, 11 in their round toe work boot and 10.5 in iron rangers lol

We need better boots suppliers and MORE IRONHEART.

Uncle Otis might have some interesting stuff - check out their webstore (http://www.uncleotis.com/) - they're up in Yorkville.

And, if I remember correctly, Oliver Spencer only has Filson bags and one pair of lined jeans.

No Viberg or Whites I am afraid.  Uncle Otis for Filson and Get Outside for Red Wings.

It's a bit strange that we've never had a good boot selection out here. I grew up in Vancouver and I guess with the forestry you could always get good boots. I still have two pairs of Daytons that I bought 15+ years ago.

I suspect our population size doesn't warrant it. Very expensive stuff for a niche market. I think people are reluctant to wear nice gear in the winter on our salt soaked streets.

[thomasnunnally]

Which is dumb because this heavy gear is great for canadian winters.

And Viberg is a Canadian company!

Yeah it's really odd they have retailers in like every other province but not Ontario. Quit frustrating when you have a order in with them and can't even try any on before hand just to be positive on sizing

[CLJ]

I know this is a long shot but do any GTA guys have a pair of size 36 beatle busters?? I would like to try on the cut before buying. I only own straight cut jeans and am concerned about the…accommodations

[zwer]

You want to try them on to see how the competition jeans will fit? The 666s are pretty similar in cut if you want to try mine. Got 18oz and 25oz.

[CLJ]

Guilty as charged. Probably the 25oz as it will give the closest feel to what the comp jeans will be.

Given that urban woodsman is in town on the weekend of the 17th and 18th I'm thinking we should have an IH meet up. Maybe at The Dogs Bollocks on Queen St. if thats good for everyone?

[zwer]

I'm out of town from the 16-21. Wife has a conference in New Orleans so I'm tagging along. Paid for the flight with AirMiles so the trip is basically free for me.

Let me know if you want to meet up before to try on the 25oz, otherwise we'll plan something for after I'm back.

[CLJ]

Thats pretty cool!! Nice escape as the weather chills off here. PM out in a bit.

[natehate]

but the sizing between 38 and 36 is quit a bit

Nice.

That whole block has changed so much in the last year. Which is pretty funny coming from me since I don't even live there.

There's also a Stussy store across the street. I'm not a fan really but them have New Balance.

[natehate]

yeah we're starting to get some nice shops
i still havent checked out haven yet
so i gotta hit both them up soon
