Just showed up moments ago…so hyped on this!

Getting warmer in SoCal
IH-812

I’ve had a few pairs of White’s over the years. These are my favorite and getting a lot of wear in my rotation lately.

New boots on their maiden voyage today!

Headed to see our besties in the Midwestie!

Looks like a cowboy boot day...

And 12.5 weeks later these showed up! Nick's Pointed Toe Packer done up 64 Tan work leather.

Ahhh...I understand now. I thought you well changing out the whole sole to rubber.

@indigostiff nice pick up! Curious as to why you are changing the soles to rubber?

@HalfPastNever I would definitely consider what @neph93 advised above. That said, Railcar Fine Goods and Williamsburg Garment Company provides the service you are seeking. I can only speak for RFG as I have never used WGCs services. RFG has done very nice work with hemming and tapering of regular jeans in the past for me.

Very nice! Especially like the patina on the toes.

The wait begins. Collection of boots include several pairs of Wesco and White's, but never owned a pair of Nick's. Going to give them a spin...order just placed for the following:

PS...don't go by tag size. They are dramatically different. For example, I generally wear 35 or 36 in IH-888 and 33 in Wranglers 13mwz.

@akohut I have both and they fit very similar. As Graham said, the measurements are key to finding a pair of 888's that fit you like the Wrangler 13mwz. Across all the IH cuts, the 888 are the closest.

@Nocturama the IHSH-209 is solid grey 9oz flannel with a faint herringbone weave/pattern to it. I wore mine yesterday.

I am one of those niche vest guys. One of the first non-jeans IH pieces I picked up over a decade ago was the IHV-02. At the time, it was sold out and I had to wait for what seemed like a year for a restock. It eventually restocked (after pinging Giles multiple times about when) and I picked it up. Still have it and wear it with regularity to this day. This new IHV-50 may be vying for the top spot in my vest rotation. That is assuming I am able to nab one on release day.
