imo, duck boots look ridiculous 99% of the time.

Frankly I disagree. I've worn the navy waxed canvas version extensively during this snowy winter here in NYC. With thick socks they are great stomping through snow, puddles, etc. Keeps the feet warm and dry. The canvas does a good job keeping snow/water out. I like them so much I plan on getting the olive pair for the rainy spring. I will size down one though so I can wear them with thin socks (my current 10s are too big with thin socks but work well with thick j crew camp socks)

I was reading the reviews on their site. Some are taking the gore-tex liner from the maine hunting shoes and putting it in the waxed boot for extra protection in the winter and they say it's great for spring/summer on its own without that liner. Is the black leather one more only for winter then? And I realize nobody will feel comfortable wearing any of these when it's 90 degrees out. I just spoke with "Nancy" at LLBean. She said both work equally well in the winter (meaning the wax would have no problem handling the weather) and are recommended only for winter but that she likes the aesthetics of the black leather better herself. Edited to add: I went with the black leather. Use Code DeepFreeze for extra 10% off along with the free shipping.

opinions on the black signature bluchers

have you guys been sizing up on the sig blutchers?

I wear true to size on normal bean blutcher mocs, but I wear them almost exclusivity in the summer, sockless.

I'm considering sizing up on the sig ones.

Hmmm...canvas + liner. I like it. I'm still contemplating myself. I was caught in a down pour last summer during a camping trip and these boots would have come in real handy. Remove liner for spring/summer rainy season, add back liner for winter. Be sure to take some pics when your pair comes in.

Do you guys think that the crepe sole on the crepe sole moc boot is as thick as it looks in their picture. If the sole was on the thinner side they would be perfect.

Sorry but this is absolute BS.

I have a pair of the camp mocs form LLB's regular line, in this same leather, 1.5 yrs old now, and they look fantastic.

Suggestions for khakis / chinos for warmer weather work attire?

anoyne have the herringbone trench?

just received the bluchers and waxed canvas duck boots. both are going back. the blucher tore my feet up after one day of wear. i know they might break in, but f that. with their 100% return policy i might as well not risk my feet. sending back the waxed canvas duck boots for a pair of the originals.

Buncha new crap online. Even the shoes are looking bad this time around. And a gold field watch? What the hell?

True, but their new henleys look alright.

I've worn mine all winter here in NYC; when it's been that cold I wear silk liner socks under ragg wool socks, and I've been fine. The canvas is as waterproof as the leather. I can attest to that, having gone sledding about 10 times with my kids already.

BUT, If I was going to be standing around in 20 deg weather for a long time I'd buy a pair of Sorels...

I personally like the canvas, as I've said, but I don't LOVE them, mostly because the material doesn't offer any support.

I did notice those - but that's a lot of money for a henley that, let's face it, will fit badly anyway. Seriously, I think I got my Wings & Horns henleys for less than that. It's absurd.
