got my Grey Polo in large. love it. now i have navy, grey, and maroon. gonna go for dark green next i think. missed the last 2 restocks on the grey so i jumped the gun immediately this time.

Do you order your usual size in the polo, or one up?

does that tape prevent the ripping from speed hooks on boots?

venividivicibj is talking about boots like these where the upper laces are hooked with "speed hooks" instead of the traditional eyelets. Even with them being smooth and rounded, they still tend to eventually catch on any bit of seam/thread/stitching on the inside of a pant leg (sometimes, I suspect, because the hooks themselves wear away at the weak points).
.

Ah, I see. However, funny that my initial confusion was that I thought he said BOATS not BOOTS.

I like that entire setup, except everyone needs cuffs on their trousers. Where are the monks from?

These pants are cuffed. Hooves are Santoni.

(I got them on sale. Had no idea they were pushing $700 full retail.)

 

[mrjester]

Legit setup there.

i size up one from my instincts but mostly went on the measurements and compared to some perfectly sized fred perry polos i have. the fred's are mediums, the kent's are large.

I've never had speed hooks fray my pants, but I have had them get caught on the pant hem thread and rip it apart. I use the "body tape" to cover up the seam. It seems to work well enough.

If speed hooks can fray pants, which are expensive, why do you get them? Honest question. If I had boots and they frayed one single pair of my pants, I'd get them replaced if possible. Or sell the boots for a different version.

Only have one pair with speed hooks, learned my lesson. Plus, didn't want to pay the uptick for a single MTO to only change to no speed hooks. Again, learned my lesson

Anyone have pics of the kw boots in real life?

Did you miss the picture? I wouldn't sacrifice my trousers for them, but OTOH, an occasional fray does not mean the boots get tossed. Heck, I'd rather downgrade my trousers than lose a pair of boots like these.

ps - all my boots with hooks came that way; I'm not bigtimer enough to MTO them without; so in the end, I did just what I said: the boots win, roll the dice and trousers seams be damned. Although, I am careful about pairing with my better trous.

Well I'll say this and probably get banned. But. Here it is.

You're living up to your avatar with that remark, mrjester.

I think a ban is fair

They just don't go with my style at all. I mean, I still love you all. I just need my space, that's all.

 

[Louys]

If boots don't go with your style then you've got a pretty good indication that you need to reevaluate your style.

+1 for knowing your own boundaries.

-1 for not instinctively, in some fundamental, deep-down place, desiring - nay, needing - these on first sight:
