      I’ve always wondered why there are not more people wearing Trickers Boots/Shoes here especially with it being a UK company? Not in fashion or something else?

        Personally I have always found them a little preppy.

          @neph93 Interesting. The people who typically wear them or the shoes themselves? What about Doc Martens?

            I have a pair of turquoise oxfords that I have recently added to my collection. I think they look great paired with denim with a cuff.

                    @goosehd My parents and older brothers have always worn Trickers and when I got my first pair in my mid-twenties it was considered sort of a right of passage for my family. I wore them for about five years and had two pairs of shoes and a pair of boots. While they are bomb proof, very comfy when worn in and look great, I have to agree with @neph93 and say I moved away from Trickers and more towards Red Wings because they are a little preppy.. they look great with a button down shirt, a wax Barbour or leather Belstaff but not so much with faded jeans and a battered jacket.

                    On a personal note, my family have always been into game shooting for pheasants/partridges etc and while I was pushed into this is as a small boy, I found I could not bring myself to kill a bird or hare and asked to not be taken again. In later life I believe I stepped away from the Trickers/wax jacket look because I weirdly associated it in my head with my family and the shooting scene.

                    Please note that I know that wearing a pair of Trickers does not mean you are into game shooting and they are fantastic boots if that’s your look 😂

                      What's darker 14oz, 17oz or 18oz blues?
                      What's the darkest of the IH lightweights?

                          Indigo/black will be a deeper shade of blue than indigo beige, are you just looking at regular indigo, @webmal ?

                            Yeah, just regular indigo mate. All the indigo in the denim comparison page looks the same to me 😞

                              @webmal What do you define as lightweight? We can grab a comparison pic for you. Or you're only looking at the three you list above?

                                    Hey everyone! New member here, and I recently picked up my first pair of Iron Hearts. If I'm looking to post a fit check and get opinions, where is the appropriate place? General? Under the specific pair? Thanks.

                                      In the specific model thread is as good a place as any. Thanks for asking and welcome....

                                          how do you determine if the top button on a shirt is a snap or a regular button?
