…@Giles that is correct sir!
...@Henry_david Black 11" Harness Boots, Brass Rings and Boss Toe...knife pocket also.
...@Palmer just checked my account again and it still states 'your boots are being built now'!

As to the question of how long a pair takes to actually build, I know a pair of cowboy boots can be made by hand in about a week. I'd expect boots with more automation would probably be a day or two shorter in total hours for construction.
That said, @Chris at Wesco is going to be the man with the definitive answer.

Can’t seem to figure out why I’m not getting notification of new posts in threads I’ve previously posted in? Any help would be appreciated.
I am having the exact same problem. I haven't gotten a forum email in a month. Something is definitely broken.
Edit: I have a tendency to exaggerate… The last one was June 28th. But they come in sporadic and not instantaneously like before.

Rit dye would be good if you want a charcoal grey vintage black color… You have to use a ton of salt and boil the fuck out of it to get any decent results...
Procion MX dye will get you an actual back color. But you must use 1 lb of sodium carbonate to 4oz of dye to about 3 gallons of water to achieve the best results and you should use either Dawn or Synthrapol to prewash first...

*Their 250 jet black has been discontinued. So maybe raven black would work too? @Oaktavia (you are a Baltimore Ravens after all).

Filthy speaks the truth. Procion dyes are far better than Rit or anything else I've seen. I used to sell art supplies and I've seen the best dye jobs using Procion. Bold and colorfast.

I bought IR jeans and flannel with the sale. I was just curious what detergent products do you specifically use for IR jeans and IR flannels for laundry? I honestly don't want to soak anything in the bathtub, looking at some YT videos people take this too far. I prefer the washing machine with detergent. Also anyone here puts any products on the leather patch? If so what product and how often?
Thanks!
