@Megatron1505:

The FH boots are made from Deer skin, and look amazing. Same as anything I guess, if you can afford it then it is worth the price.

Nothing more to add!

[davito]

@davito:

very special JCar do you have some details about history, model, logoprint? thanks

I got these a little over 2 years ago thru JCrew online.  They are the Irish Setter model by Red Wing.  I cheated a bit since they came distressed and I have not done anything to them since.  They keep getting better and better.  I didn't wear them as often as I should have this past winter since it was unseasonably warm.  These fuckers keep my feet toasty walking the streets of Boston.  Not sure what you mean by logoprint?

Got mail from Santalum today, my custom shoes are done:

[demonito]

looks nice but the last looks a bit off?

[Lucifer]

How off? shape or the finish? They have not put in the insole yet, not sure if that will change the exterior much though.

They look like Julian boots. Are they?
And is it horsehide?
Really intrigued by these. Great shape and nicely worn in.

Really nice boots! Not a big fan of suede usually, but that works well!

Technically, that's roughout- the flesh side of regular full grain leather; essentially, just inside out, not suede, which is a split grain leather, usually from a softer leather, like lamb or calf.  Roughout is a lot tougher and more stain resistant and durable.

For practical purposes, they look very similar, though.:)

God, I'm being a pedantic douche today…

So is the IH/Aero western and it's similar price. Id rather get the shirt for that price. Seems like a shirt has much more deerskin, just sayin'….
