And here I thought I was the only well dressed hipster living at Cedar Trails…..;-)
Nice look, love that shirt!
Whoah no shit? Small world! I think there's someone else from MN on here too

I know right, crazy small world. I live over in the 46XX bldg.
If you see a guy wearing Red Wing Iron Rangers, LVC 501's and a V neck white T, that's me, I wear that get up to work every day.
Hey can I borrow that blue shirt? Kidding, I'm a kidder.

Congrats Snowy. Those turned out amazing. Not that there was ever doubt.
-
that's a boot you can be proud of snow man.
gmb i disagree with you, but what's new.
-
Idk, maybe it's because there's no fish-shaped stitching in the middle but to me the stitching just looks straighter than when compared to this
-
Look great snowman!! I prefer the RCs with the half sole.
Ben- I have seen the vintage half sole stitch done by a number of well known people in the business and this is not uncommon… Since I don't know the first thing about resolving I can't say that it's a difficult thing to do but when guys that are known sticklers for detail like zip Stevenson have similar results I would GUESS that something about the process is a bit difficult in getting exactly perfect. That said my lofgrens have the figure 8 stitch and it is bang on, so makes me wonder if the issue in alignment is related to it being done post production... I could also very well be wrong it just a simple observation.

@Bluegrass I'll tell you tomorrow. Am going for a 1.5mile walk in them which will be a good/real test.
I'm in love with them all over again, so they better fit!!!!
-
@Bluegrass the fit is 100% the same as was before. The feel 90% the same (now back to 100% the same). First 100 or so steps the extra height/depth in the boot threw my gait, but within a few minutes was back to normal. Could not be happier with the result.

Same here on the Lofgren. Pretty sure Brian is stitching by hand, so I don't regard those irregularities as a defect per se. I think he's taking an awl and digging out those stitches, where the Lofgrens are almost certainly machine-stitched.
