Donkey Punchers look rad.

Hi all,
I would like to open a topic to share photos of John Lofgren boots and share experience. Please add your photos of your Lofgren's boots. I will also post some pics after some wear…
I have tried to search for such topic but didn't find any similar.I have received my about a week ago, not yet used them outside of the house(too could right now in my location
) Just made some initial treatment with proven brand for shoe care ::)
here some pics of my John Lofgren Donkey puncher boots in burgundy Horween chromexel:

Great boots @Bulatik85
-
Those are really sharp….l’d like to see’em in a few years !
-
I'll say it again. Beautiful boots. Surprised we didn't already have a Lofgren thread here already as pretty much everyone I've heard from who has his boots sings their praises.

Jaw droopingly gorgeous boots [emoji14]

I've had a pair of the John Lofgren Champion persimmon-dyed sneakers for the last year and a bit. They've seen occasional use, perhaps 3-4 times a month on average; and I consider myself a very 'light' user of footwear. I've only used them to walk around town and drive. I like them quite a bit, find them super comfy and considering getting a second pair on the denim color. However, I'm also concerned at what I find as premature aging on these.
The taped seams are what seems to be failing the test of time on mine. See both heels (pic below).
The taped seam is also fraying between the eyelets (pic below)
I'm wondering whether anyone else has experienced the same problems. I see @Haddtoo 555 uses his often as he posts pics. Any comments? Perhaps it only happens on the persimmon ones? Are the denim ones longer-lasting?

Can’t wait till mine look like that. I’m going to have to wear them more . Unfortunately I spend most my time in work boots….That being said, I like these so much might have to get a back up pair before they become unavailable. I think I will stop kicking them off, I have to untie all my sneakers before I put them on
, maybe even use a shoe horn to put them on....nah 
They look well worn....I like that. Would you buy them again ? Or move on ?

Where do you guys buy JL shoes in the US? I know of selfedge and standard and strange but any other retailers? Speedway via rakuten (https://global.rakuten.com/en/search/?sid=speedway-shop&tl=558885)?

Oops..missed your comments here @Haddtoo 555 .
I'll probably wait for the IH sneakers before getting the navy pair of JLs. I'm hoping the IH ones are a bit tougher than these. -
FIT CHECK: TSPTR x John Lofgren Vest
Not exactly sure if this belongs here but…
I bought this vest in both size M and L... my chest measurements are right at 41" around. The size M measures to around 44" and the L about 46"... Feel wise, the L feels a bit more comfortable to wear than the M. The M is a little snug through the waist and I feel like the length of the L is better... I can definitely feel the tightness through the waist in the M whereas the L has a little more room insiide. That being said, I'm new-ish to wearing outerwear vests and not exactly sure how they are supposed to fit. What do you guys think? Large or medium or can't tell the difference?
Pics below...

@tangfj I would go large. The M looks a little constricting in the midriff and closer fitting than it should be around the arms. The L looks great especially in the last pic and will offer more flexibility in the long run.
Also this thread normally gets quite a few responses if you'd like to ask there: https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=6887.msg377644#msg377644

Finally was able to upload a pic! Lol

Just ordered the Black Cat's from Standard and Strange. Pretty pumped to finally add a pair of Lofgren's to the collection. I'll post some photos/impressions when they come in later this week.

Received my Black Cats by Lofgren and Standard & Strange on Friday. Very pleased with the fit and shape of the boot. The construction definitely lives up to the hype as well. Will not be my last pair of Lofgrens.
