Do you have measurements for these?

Will these get soft over time or will they stay rigid or somewhat rigid?

Thanks! I was kind of trying to figure out how heavy the fabric is, so that I can get the right size.

@Chap:

Compared to other leather it‘s quite lightweight but still very warm definitely no summer shirt and suuuuuper cosy

How heavy is this shirt?

Thanks! I have to say that fading in the used shirt is downright amazing! Freaking awesome!

Is there a size chart to took at available yet?

The old shirt in the beginning of the thread, was it originally black or brown?

Are Boss boots bigger at all to give more room for boots socks?

How does the sizing go with these boots compared with the Jobmaster boots?

@Steve Super! Thanks!

When is the Camel color available for this shirt?

Are we in schedule with these?  Can't wait to get them…

Will this shirt stretch in use? is it giving?

How would suggest sizing it? I'm between two sizes and considering sizing down as the shoulder is a bit too wide in the larger size.

When this will be approximately available?

Does anyone have good and practical advice how to a fade wash on 100% cotton? Make new cotton pants fade.

Thanks!

How are they compared to to IH-714 in means of thickness and wearability?

Will these or similiar product be available soon???

Same here… looking to buy these, but I'd like to know how they fit compared to Red Wing, Timberland or even Nike. Any advice? I'm somewhat wide with my feet.

About a year I go I got me a pair of Reed Wings 8" boots size 12. I have same brand engineer boots previously so I even didn't think there would be any issues with size. Boy, how wrong were I. These boots were killing my feet pretty much everywhere you could think of. The leather was hard as hell. Especially my right foot was downright in fire. Blisters in both heels and all that crap. Had them stretched a bit and bit of man up, and these boots have been working their way up in my books. No pain anymore and they are starting to sit in nicely.

I option is to soften the leather with beeswax or similar. I will also give good protection to the leather against rain and dirt.

You should have them stretched. I have 1/2 size larger right foot and occasionally have to take this route. Leather will stretch, but make it easier on you. You should go for a quality shop and have them stretched. If you are in brand new boots and they feel tag more tight than they should - feel uncomfortable, you are likely about 10 miles away from heaven. If they are way too tight, so that they hurt everywhere, you have too small of a pair.

I this case it sounds like stretching and immediate use will be enough.

@superfuzz:

I found that mine have more toe room with the leather insole instead of the standard foam insole. You might also try wearing them without any insole for a while. I think a cobbler can do a toe stretch if it doesn't get better.

Thanks dude. I just tried to elucidate the problem more clearly in my original post. The length seems fine. Toes wiggle, Hegels don't slip. But width on the left boot especially is an issue.

I'll test the insole solution.
