Which should I get?

8301S or 9634

I know this isn't a crazy question but just want your opinion.

I LOVE the 22oz SuperBlack denim but getting a size 36 would make me want to get them slightly tapered.

I haven't tried on the 8301S yet, but probably will this weekend. I'm hoping the fit is spot on and fits fine in the thigh(my only area of concern). I wouldn't mind the fading possibilities of the SBG denim because I don't really work in my jeans. It would take years for mine to fade.

I'm still considering the 8301's too…..or the SExIHxNY 634's, so I guess I would pick the 8301's.

Going to order a new pair of day-to-day boots for office wear, travel and general mucking about in chinos, denim and the occasional tweed pants. I'm pretty much set on white's (bounty hunters or SD), but recently I found out that you can make custom trickers too, so I can make a wide-last pair of cap toe trickers with brown zug grain and a nice sole..

For comfort, longevity and general quality pr money spent, what would you guys go for?

[Giles]

Find out where the custom Trickers are made.  A lot of the new stuff they are doing is NOT made in UK….

Thanks for the heads up! I guess the safest bet is whites. Solid, years of boot per dollar and a safe design.I'm just useless at simple decisions..

[Giles]

That was my coded advice!

[Seul]

The MTO Tricker's would cost you quite a lot more than the White's…

Giles: as far as I know only some of the more recent collabs of Tricker's are not made in the UK... Their regular lines still are...

If 7-11 is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, why are there locks on the doors?

Leap years.

If someone invented instant water, what would they mix it with?

[Seul]

A spoon or a small fork.

[Megatron1505]

Or a spork.

A spoon or a small fork. A spork, and a leap year.

You guys are killing me!

Why not whisk?  Less clumping that way.

I just woke up after last nights beer, and have just remembered that I did plenty of "drunk smoking" last night. What is the best way to remove the cigarette odour from my IHSH-59 without washing it?

An easy way to remove cigarette smell from an IHSH-59 is to put it in a box and ship it to my address.

[Megatron1505]

Really? Does that work? How big should the box be ?

Oh yeah, shit, I forgot. You need quite a large box to fit all your cigarette infested IH gear in. Don't worry though, I probably won't get hit with a customs charge. Just remember, only declare it as $20.
