@Soleamp is on point friends. Thanks for the smooth transaction and fast shipping. Being neighbors helped that along lol.They are a little big! I think my nicks insoles will fill up the volume nicely. Are the jeans to tapered or is that a good look?

Glad they worked out for you! Seeing your pics makes me regret selling them a little, even though they didn't really fit

@Drzdave58 PM’d.

I bought these on a whim off of eBay after seeing them at Franklin and Poe and missing out on them. After trying them on in person, they are a little too chunky of a look for me. I got a good deal on them so I am passing that along on here. These were unworn by me and were only worn briefly around the house by the original owner. Franklin and Poe says a full size down for these and I agree. I am also open to trades. $550 shipped CONUS, PayPal Friends/Family.

Catch and release pair of Fortis Tapak 1.0 Engineer boots in size 44 (10.5/11). The leather is natural Indonesian Veg Tan and they have just started to patina (it's hard to photograph the true color). I bought these from the original owner who wore them sparingly, but they are just slightly too small for me (they are about a half size too short). I am an 11D Brannock and these would probably work better for a 10.5. Original box and shoe bags are included.

$375 Shipped CONUS, PPFF - Open to trades for other boots (I'm willing to add money if need be).

@DemGab Thanks, enjoy the jacket!

Fwiw, don't discount the 666 uhr till you check out the measurements. These seem to be cut a little more generously in the top block and thigh than their 21oz counterparts for the same tag. Mine didn't shrink at much as I was expecting either and very quickly stretched back in the waist so they're very comfy.

Interesting, I didn't even think to check out the 666 UHR after my experience with the 666 XHS.  The measurements actually look pretty generous.  I put in an order for 634 UHR, but I will chat with the IHUK crew tomorrow and see what they have in the 666.  Lots of those still in stock.

@Soleamp:

Feel like I probably could have sized down.

I had similar experience with the 555UHR.  Went with my normal tag size which had posted dimensions a little larger than my typical.  The tag size down had posted dimensions that were perfect without the shrinkage.  I went with the slightly larger dimensions thinking the shrinkage would pull it in, but after a few days of wear they are now stretched back out a little bigger than I prefer.  If I get another pair, I’m going to purchase as I normally do with the dimensions I want as if no shrinkage.  Then after soaking and washing, I’ll stuff myself in them like a sausage and wear them around the house till they stretch back out.  I should have known better since I had experienced the same thing about five years ago with the 3Sixteen Kibatas.  I’ve learned my lesson with raw - won’t happen again for me.  BTW - they don’t look bad (as mine don’t either) but I know it’s a matter of personal preference and how you like them to look and feel more so than what others may notice.

This is where I am at as well.  If they are comfortable after a hot soak and hot wash, then (for me) they are probably too big.

@yannis:

I dont see anything wrong with the fit. They look relaxed in a nice way.

Thanks, appreciate it, but I think @Kasi  hit the nail on the head.  I was in 888s a few years ago, but have been wearing 634s the last year.  I was in 666s for a minute when my weight was down a bit, but they are uncomfortably slim for me in the heavier weights.  I might pick up the 634 21/23 before they sell out and then make a final decision.  Thanks for the feedback, I'm hoping to be more present around here again now I have a bit more free time.

Hey all, haven't been on here in a while.  I picked these up right when they came out.  I really struggled with the sizing and went back and forth between 33 and 34.  Went with 34s and did not get as much shrinkage as I thought I would.  Fit picks are after a one hour hot soak and a hot wash.  Feel like I probably could have sized down.

@mclaincausey Awesome, appreciate it. I’m always looking for new recipes and this looks great.

@Joberwocky:

While not something to enjoy year-round, a little Mad Elf when the weather gets cold is a staple for me

I think it’s a requirement to have at least a few Mad Elfs every season in our area. Not my favorite beer, but I drink it every year.
