Rough out boots

Indigo dyed rough-out CXL Trench Boot at the Blue Owl Workshop. So nice!

Love those.

Picked up some new Oak Streets.
Roughout Marine Field Shoes. Construction on these is just awesome – they're beefy as f*ck and feel great. They feel and look tons better than the roughout boondockers I've picked up from various WW2 reenactment sources.
And the Chocolate Double Sole PTB's. They feel really refined and it's nice to see Oak Street offering shoes slightly less rugged. I'm a big fan of the wheeled welt:

I just received a pair of those same bluchers. Seem really nice for the price paid (sale) and since I've had no problems with my trench boots I feel quite confident about these too. Was a bit of a gamble on the size since I'm usually somewhere between a 13 and a 12 and my trench boots in 13 are quite roomy even though I wear them with a thick sock. I ordered a 12 in the PTB and was quite certain they'd be too small but they feel nice and snug with a medium thickness sock so I guess they'll be perfect with a thin summer sock since these will be summer shoes for me (leather sole and all).
Stitching is nice and uniform and pretty much flawless otherwise too on quick inspection.

Inbound….
Sharing some recent pictures as @weftyarn and @don_pipone was asking about the boots..
For those of you new on here too, I resoled them from the original Danite soles to a commando sole at brass Tokyo in 2016.
