I placed an order and it all reeked of garlic... no joke.

Bought a pair a while ago. They're pretty terrible and plastic-ey. For that price they're maybe worth it to mow the grass in.

Ugh bummer, assumed that was the case, was hoping by some miracle they'd be half decent. thanks for the heads up. 

There are a couple post somewhere deep in this thread about those boots. I have the lace up leather boots and I just got those in. The leather is terrible. I would say they are worth $35 but they look good on but up close they look like they will break after a few wears.

I am wondering what have people been using on the leather to soften them up or make them a little bit less plasticky?

Lexol.

Got 'em anyway, was hard to pass up with free ship + 20% off on top of that already really low price, just gonna condition the crap out of them and hope they're worth the tiny amount I paid for 'em. 

For $30 for the black ones, makes for good rain/snow shoes. Why ruin your good stuff

Is there a code for 20%/free ship? I'm thinking about picking up a pair to beat to death in terrible weather. And how did you guys size? TTS or down 1/2?

icecream with pin 1040 for 20% off sale + free ship.

 

I got mine half a size down based on what I found in reviews. 

Was hoping the next item on the destination sale would be better.

So T@c0, what the f*ck are you talking about?

Between the Black and Expresso moc-toe boots, which color would you guys recommend as a first pair of boots?

The leather's awful and you can't fix the corrected grain with conditioner. Also the soles are some goofy EVA foam. Finally, the speedhooks suck and bend out of the way. You can either stop using them like my friend did with his boots (although I think it looks lazy/stupid to have boots that aren't fully laced) or you can try to either have a cobbler replace them with better speedhooks or you could probably just try to drill out the rivets and use them as eyelets.

For like $30-something though...other than the bending speedhooks, the rest of that is manageable.


I like browns in boots like this...but I also think cheap leathers look MUCH better in black. If you are into black shoes, I would go black

I'm hoping for some advice on LEC sizing, in particular with the sale on poplin shirts they have on right now.

I've checked out their sizing info. But I have a 37.5inch chest (5'9", 165lbs) and wear either a 38 of a 36 jacket depending on the cut of the jacket. Based on the sizing info on the site, this puts me right in between a small and a medium. This is pretty typically for me, being right between small and medium.

I'm leaning towards going on the smaller size here, given I'm guessing their cut might be a little fuller and I'm looking for a slim fitting but not tight shirt.

Any advice on sizing? And a related question - any comments on the quality of the shirts?
