Bump, Price Drop, $275 Shipped

I am selling a pair of Rolling Dub Trio Stan Chelsea boots in black horsehide. These are a Rolling Dub Trio size 10, which typically fits a US 11 or 11.5 Brannock. Standard and Strange has a good sizing description for these on their website. I just bought these new and wore them once for about six hours. I have another pair of these in Chormexcel in a 9.5 (9H), but I wanted them in the horsehide so I thought I would roll the dice. Unfortunately, I don't love the fit in a bigger size so I am letting them go. The original box is included.

$450 Shipped CONUS

I am selling a pair of Tricker's x Todd Snyder Stephen Chelsea boots in black calf. These are a UK 10/US 11 and are standard width (the 5 in the 10-5 means standard width, not size 10.5). I just bought these new and wore them three times. Unfortunately, they are just a bit too small in the toes for me and, as much as I REALLY like these, I don't think it is going to get better. These were a limited addition collaboration with Todd Snyder and are a really great looking pair of boots. Original shoe bags are included, but I do not have the original box (I will try to ship them in a different shoe box). $350 $275 shipped in CONUS

@DemGab Thanks, enjoy the jacket!

@pechelman:

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.

@John:

@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.

It looks like it is definitely coming along with some solid progress.  Looks great!

@sabergirl Thanks so much!  It's not too hard to do those types of trips these days as you can now rent vans/RVs all over the world.  It's a great experience and we have done many long road trips with our kids.  A few years ago we did over 6k miles (that was a lot of driving).

@mclaincausey Man, that looks amazing.  Can you send me the recipe?  I do all of the cooking in my house and I am tired of a lot of my cold weather rotation.

@Aetas Sorry, I have been out of the loop for a bit, we need to get this thread going with the snow starting to fly!  BTW, that is a great collection of passes, you should make that into a wall display or something.

Picked these up a few months ago but I have been procrastinating on mounting them (I do my own mounting, so it's just laziness).  Went with the 94s as a good compromise for the East/West combo skiing I do.  Hoping to get in at least 30 days this year.

@the246guy:

It's been now 3 months for me with my first ever 25 oZ denim and I guess I found the Holy Grail pants in this cut. I own few other pairs of raw denim and I feel like not picking them at all after wearing this XHS continuously for the last 3 months, every single day. I might post some pictures later on and I'm even considering getting another pair to rotate.

I hear you.  I have been wearing mine for about the same amount of time and everything else feels weird and thin now.  It's like a denim security blanket, haha.  Although, I did just pick up the 18oz 634s which are pretty amazing (I couldn't squeeze into the 666 version of the 18oz).

@neph93 I haven't been on here in a bit, you can see what I've been busy with over in the cars thread.  Any new progress on the house?  I'm looking forward to seeing it finished!
