      I would really like a pair like the ones beats and giles have rocked but their website is too weird.  I have trouble understanding what my suede options are.

      Beats and Giles, what did you do?  Call them?

        emailing them works, i'm starting to get a custom pair worked out with them now and they respond pretty quickly.

          I phoned and spoke to Patty.  I think the only suede option is Laramie rough out.

            Thanks Giles.

            I sent them an email a few days ago.  Still waiting on a reply.

                      Right on thank you! I know they both turned out great but am sure everyone would love to see detailed shots and descriptions of what they did.

                        Well, these I bought second hand from Russell.  It is always worth cruising through here once a month or so, there are some bargains to be had:

                        http://www.russellmoccasin.com/saleitems/saleslist.pdf

                        They cost me USD100 and I was able to spec whatever sole I wanted as part of the deal.  I chose the wedge vibram lug, basically because i have no shoes/boots with that sole and I thought they would be good for what I intend to wear then for, which is beach fishing and boat fishing through the winter…

                          wow, the folks at Inventory really ripped these off with their recent make-ups with Yuketen.

                          wonder which is a better made product as well as a value for the money spent?

                            the chukka looks quite like a makeup nepenthes did with russell a few years ago, same leather, probably the munson army last, with different sole this time around, very nice, I prefer the crepe sole

                            for my money, give me the russell over yuketen. I'll take the folks that been in business a long time, and I know when the time comes I can get a resole or repair

                              the resole/refurbish is a major plus. . . but i can't go with the folks just cause they have been doing it longer.  have to give the new kids a shot at it, might be pleasantly surprised.

                                I've heard they run about a 1/2 size large?

                                      nah they are a great look, leave as is & let them darken naturally.

                                      wish i would of done the same  with my bobcats just for the sake of nature & all

                                        In my experience, the Laramie suede it does not seem to mark much.  I trash mine and there are no stains on them ay all, my RW suede Mocs on the other hand are spotted and stained all over…
