      Red Wing 2233 or 2408 are less expensive alternatives.  comfortable.Don't know if still available but  Red Wing did make a composite toe boot I liked because once the steel toes get cold they stay cold.
      As Clint says  Jobmasters are the best I've worn  work wise for comfort even with the 100 Vibram.

      Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
      Well, I have others.

        Thanks for the recommendations @steelworker Working in an old pair of rw now, and really want to step it up. Personally like Chippewa better than Red Wing anyhow, but neither is on the level I want

          Leather jacket question. In the summer I picked up an Alexander x Iron Heart Simmons Bilt, which is a beautiful jacket, but it is tough as nails and proving a bit of a bugger to break in. I know the best way to break it in is to wear it as much as possible, but as it is a short jacket I am struggling for what to wear with it, my IH shirts are all too long and look a bit daft with it, so I am left with sweatshirts and tee's. Any thoughts on breaking it in, and what to pair it up with would be appreciated.

            I say feck it and wear it with what you want even if the shirt is a bit long.

            Btw, that jacket is beautiful.

              I say flip it and get something that will fit with the rest of wardrobe better. Even with T-shirts it's short mate.

                Jacket is gorgeous, but agree it's too short even for T's unless you start tucking them.

                                      After rereading the whole thing, it seems like he thought we didn't want to pay, or that we were bitching about shipping costs. Totally not the point, yo.

                                        I'm a sucker for a bit of Tigerstripe camo (when it's done well). Saw the rmc M-65 the other day and fell in love with it but there's no way I could justify/afford £575 for an m-65. Any one got any ideas where I could get another high spec tiger stripe m-65? Buzz ricksons did do one but as of yet I'm yet to find anywhere that actually has them in stock… @davito any recommendations old chap?
