Creases started to set in. I'm loving it everytime I get to wear them.
-
Took care of them a bit
-
@arrow looks amazing man!
-
Just saw these. I like me a good quality pair of ropers. Anyone of you jumping on this one?
-
@Dmart they look very nice! For now i jumped on a MTO from Quans otherwise a roper boot would definitely be a go! They look so cool! Especially with a 634, cuffed imo
-
@Dmart just yesterday I ordered those roughouts. I really wanted last years version but these look amazing too.
-
@deanclean nice one. Hope you Post picks when they will be with you. They really look great! What is the lead time? 12months?
-
@Dmart it said May of 2024 but they mentioned that they are hoping it will be earlier. They added some extra time I guess. Im hoping under a year but I’ll just try to put it out of my mind and it will be a surprise.

Apologies for not first reading through this whole thread. More looking to start a conversation.
Anyone have a pair of Lofgrens in the Shinki shell cordovan? I’ve been wanting a pair of shell boots and those new olive shell combat boots looks so very nice. Curious if anyone has thoughts or experience with this leather in boots? -
I’m obsessed with JL’s Olive cal Combat Boots, but have seen so many different recommendations on sizing. I’m a bit confused. JL’s site recommends .5 down from Brannock, Standard and Strange recommends 1 size down. I’d tend to trust the manufacturer but so many other sites say 1 full down as well. I had a pair of Viberg 1035 in 9.5 and felt they were too big. I have Red Wing Moc Toes in 9.5 and they fit fine. I’m wondering if I should go 9 or 9.5 in the Combats? Thanks!

@sweetlou do you own any JL boots already? I’ve been in contact with both S&S and JL customer service and you’re right, they both say exactly what you report.
I tend to lean towards S&S sizing advice. I bought my JL engineers through them. I’m also interested in those combat boots. I’m a size 9 in their engineers and S&S recommend a .5 smaller in the combats. Though I’ve never tried them on before, the last used and the lace up style boot seem to make sense with S&S advice.
Please keep us informed here. Love to get your first hand thoughts of you end up buying those. So damn nice looking.
-
@Mizmazzle Will do. I actually have JL USN low quarter derbies in 9.5 and they fit nicely. That tracks with SS recommendation to size down a half size for the derbies, so they seem to be accurate in their fit advice.

Back at work living that teacher life in the trenches. Been wearing my nattys pretty regular the last month. Thought about @Nik ’s advice regarding letting the break develop more and keeping the trees out. Them rolls are starting to come in nice I think. Thanks for the idea, bruddah!!

Bootiful

@sweetlou I bought a pair of JL black cats from S&S and ordered 3 sizes to confirm my size, ended up with the 7.5. They are great people. I actually visited the Oakland shop and tried on the olive combats boots. I am an 8E heel-to-ball and 7E heel-to-toe. The last is good if you have wide feet, both the 7.5 and 8 fits very similar IMO
-
Oh yeah those are looking great @Mizmazzle
