Fuck yeah!.. Holy cow those look good, Giles!.. I am now beyond stoked that I picked these up!..

That is exactly why I picked them up… They're hard as fuck and deserve to be worn under IH jeans!..

Beautiful table as well, btw...

Lovely detail on that toe plate.  Impressive hobnails, too.

[Seul]

Gotta say I like yours better!..

Might put on a thin Vibram sole on mine btw.. The ones I had placed on me Grenson's… Cobbler said these soles are basically indestructable...

They look so great Seul. Contacted the guy from sufu you mentioned so thank you. If I got the boots I would be amazed. Been looking for my size for around a year or so.

I too am now officially looking for a pair of Lotus veldtschoen style boots. Hope you're not a 7.5UK!..

[madmonday]

not into them seul.  make me a beliver & let me see them in a fit flick.  the seller couldn't at least throw in new laces for you?

WTF homes 

[Seul]

I will not replace the laces and am very grateful the seller didn't replace them!.. I know not a lot of non-€uropean/ non-British people even 'll be into them… It's like buying one of them old 4 cilinder Porsches... Can't compare 'm with the beasts of today, but it's what started it all!..

[madmonday]

i do respect the fact that it is something i don't get, i believe if everything was for everyone the world would be a boring a$$ place.  i do need to see them worn cause i just can't see it with any of the gear i see you in  :-\

not undecided on the shoe, i'm not into them at all, i'm undecided on what you are going to put them on with. . .

[Seul]

Me neither. Melton/ J. Peterman sweaterjacket/ 16/ XHS?.. Any of that?.. Maybe the incoming beige FH chambray?.. We'll see… I'll fix ya pic tomorrow!..
