John Lofgren (Speedway)

I'd just buy them from RMC US (BiG). Much easier to return if you're careful when you first try them on and from what I've seen the pricing isn't completely out of line with what you pay from Japan. I think a few hundred bucks on a purchase that big would be worth it to me. Then again, you'll never see me spend over a grand on footwear.
Also, the RMC Chippewa repro of the first engineer boot is made in the US by Chippewa. Not Buco obviously but thought I'd point that out.

Having the wrong size boot that you can't return is about the same, you wont command full retail on the secondary market if you can get rid of it at all.

@Bluegrass I think this is a special thing that got set up over on Denimbro. There might have more info over there. But they definitely are not for sale yet. There might be a preorder or something like that.
-
Not for sale yet. And not really a Denimbro special in any strict sense. Just a boot that a few guys really wanted John to make, and he was happy to do it.
Nothing concrete yet, but it looks like they'll be ready in February. Going off past experience, there will probably be a pre-order page up on the speedway site before too long…..

I am looking forward to my frogskin sneaks. For some reason the natty cxl isn't moving me like the black, cognac, and brown do

I'm also eagerly awaiting those Lofgren sneakers. They look superb and I want to retire the ratty Vans I've been wearing when it's too hot for boots. Due early next year, right?

I think they look fine now but will look awesome with age.

Agreed super, frogskin has that herringbone which ages so well. December is indeed the drop baby!

I think Fuzz was talking about the Natural CXL, no? And, if so, he be right.

Oh of course; yeah that's why it's Nick Hollows' favorite leather.
nice
