@Giles Wow, nearly 20 years ago then! I think the jeans have done very well then considering! A shame the original photos have now gone but thanks for finding that post. Unfortunately the waistline has expanded slightly since I was in my 20's

@Giles said in Introduce Yourself Here:

Guy,  Of course I remember you.  You were the first customer I shipped anything to.  I think that makes you part of the history of the brand.  I would love to see current pics of that pair and also I would be super grateful if you would consider doing a "My Favorite Rugged Wear" piece:

Hi Giles,

Hope you're well and the same to everyone here. I know this is a blast from the past but as I rarely wear my original IH jeans I think I should sell them so someone else can enjoy them. Before I do though I wanted to share some photos. I was trying to remember when it was I first bought these from you, I have 2006 in my head.

They have the old pocket design are showing signs of age through wear and tear. They've lasted better than any other pair of jeans I've had over the years. A testament to the quality.

Cheers,
Guy

Big fan of the Harvesters.

Picked up a pair of Ice Cutters in the sales.  Wanted something good in snow.

Well worn in those 

Trickers Stow Acorn with Commando sole.  Perfect for this time of year in England.

@Brock:

And for that reason I will always love redwings!

On a side note I'm looking for a pair of rough out boots with a full leather sole… any recommendations? (Don't have to be RW)

Love those.

Rough out boots

I had 2 pairs turn up today mainly because I wanted to take a look at them.  I already have some stow boots in acorn.  I'm a UK10 and ordered the UK9.5 as they may fit.  They look decent although my others feel better quality leather I would say.  They look legit, no dust bags in the boxes.

They fit me.  Few photos of the boots attached.

@den1mhead:

Just copped a pair of the TRICKERS Acorn Antique Brogue Boots for a family member who will be STOKED !!
Thanks @GuyH for the link 

@GuyH:

One for those in the UK.  TKMaxx have some Trickers quite cheap.  Limited styles and size.

Welcome.  Glad somebody benefited from it.  All gone now…. that was quick!

My Harvesters in harness leather.  Love these boots.

@GuyH:

Thanks Chris, I agree with your assessment.  The other boot looks perfect so just knowing that does bug me even if the boot is functionally sound.  I've sent photos to the shop in the UK I bought them from so will see what they say.  I did also email OSB and they came back fantastically quickly although the response did not agree with my assessment.  They explained the boots are good in their opinion which does make me question their quality control.

Just wanted to update this as I've had further communication with OSB and they have agreed that on closer inspection the stitching although not compromising the integrity of the boot is not up to their own aesthetic standards.  They have kindly offered to exchange the boots for another pair if I'm unable to get an exchange through the store I bought them from.  Great service, I feel a lot happier.

Glad to see this thread still going strong!

Been a while since I've posted on here.  I've received a pair of OSB Trench boots today in the natural CXL finish.  The fit, feel of the leather, style of the boot are just as I'd hoped.

I do have concerns though about the quality of the finish on one of the boots.  Reading back a few pages maybe there are some quality control issues with OSB?  I'd welcome your thoughts/comments.  I'll leave the photos to speak for themselves.

Quality those!

Nice those!  I echo the above regarding the quality.  This is one reason I love my Tricker's.  You know that they are still made the same way they were years ago.

25% off these apparently with code MARCH25
