Quintuple denim. Had this darn denim bug for ten years now just can’t shift it. Sami hat the rest is all IH.

They use to give one of these away with each pair. This pairs is in olive chromexcel also about two years old.

@Oaktavia
Yeah I’ve had a pair for about two years.
Able to walk a little faster as they grip the feet better.
I think the leather was New York Camel. Worth it just for the keyring.

4 soaks 1 wash.
You can clearly see my initials on the fifth pocket now it was a little experiment with some idents from work.
There’s also an arrow but it landed right on the crease.

I’d be happy if mine looked that good at the end of the competition @Mister_Brue crazy fading.

Sun shot

It’s my first one just enjoying all the leathers and how different people treat them.

They’re true size @FlavourFade

@Oaktavia
Your jeans are fricken amazing it was the IHSH-75 shirt. Once you’ve tried XHS once there’s no going back. They should do a re-run of the vest it would sell out in seconds.

Nice crocking @northsouthdenimguy
I put these in the Dome a month late always wanted some unstructured toe engineers.
They’re The Keeper 2 by Benzein now BriselBlack in Shinki Natural Oiled Horsebutt Overdyed Brown.

Hi Dan I’m also called Dan. I got them in 2017. I wore them a lot to begin with but now only occasionally but still love them. Size nine true to size.

@Daniel-San I hope you enjoy your boots as much as I have. The teacore is popping on these ones.

@indigo_fades Yeah the plain one my daughter wanted to test my knife out so she cut it.I can’t throw it out so just wear both.

@Mizmazzle Yeah they are.

Can’t upload anything on the invitational site at the moment. So I’ll try here.

This worked for me as these were so tight to get on and off that after a year the stitching came undone on the outside of the backstays. I got the stays repaired but then abandoned them until last week decided to soak them in the bath for an hour in luke warm water.
Then I put two pairs of thick socks on and a carrier bag over my feet and squeezed them into the boots. 48 hours later they were dry taking them off only at bedtime. Now they fit really well.

Whilst drying lots of white patches appeared

They were then treated to some Pecards antique leather dressing. Right boot dressed.

Quick brush and they were ready to wear
