No window…..

So, extent?

A little out of my league (price-wise) now and in the near future but I'd love to get my hands on one when life starts to trend upwards.

Cool.

I have a very nice machine with a large, hollow space only. It should work perfectly.

While on the subject of metal, I just heard Ghost Brigade's new album.

Fantastic!

Has anyone done the initial wash for unsanforized/loomstate denim in a machine? Is there an disadvantage to doing that?

Seems that most reports I've read have been of people soaking them in a bathtub.

@Giles:

Regarding insoles, you can buy aftermarket. Talk to @seawolf.

Regarding washing inside your boots, I would take Wesco's advice:

Never use detergent. Simply wash the inside of your boot with a combination of warm water and baking soda. Do not rinse them. To dry, stuff the boots with newspaper and lay them on their side. Allow them to dry naturally. It is best to leave a bit of moisture in the leather to keep it pliable. To finish, apply appropriate boot dressings.

Thank you Giles. I tried one SOLE 3.2mm thick insole and it's too thick. Feet can barely fit. (my boots, they fit perfectly… no room for growth.

Need some ultra thin model...

And contacted Mr. Seawolf as advised.

My favorite 634 variation by a (semi) long shot.

So I have these boots, I was just wondering since I never got any shoes as nice as these before, are the insoles (which I assume are attached to the boots) replaceable?

I've also been reading a lot of leather care and conditioning, but haven't found as much information about conditioning/cleaning the inside of the shoe/boot. I figured, since that is where sweat, moisture and bacteria may arise in, shouldn't I dedicate as much time cleaning the leather on the interior as I do the exterior, to get maximum life out of my boots?

Thanks
