    Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot Review

     Hello, just wanted to touch base. I don't have the 1K's, however based on my actual foot measurement being size 13 C, the 12 D Plainsman fits perfectly. I wouldn't recommend them for casual wear-they are kind of bulky and don't stay "nice" looking really. Comfy as hell for work though...

    *** The official and awesome DIY thread ***

     No maybe about it, lol. Not sure what qualities it takes to attain walmart-core-ness, but I assure you no Chinese sweatshop labor will be involved.

    *** The official and awesome DIY thread ***

     Thanks a ton-especially on the stretch tips. Will report back! Heheh, was actually thinking bout getting a real faded light blue to avoid the bleeding, still up in the air on that little problem. We had a stock denim here at the shop we got on clearance, never had anyone come back with...

    *** The official and awesome DIY thread ***

    Don't think this is true DIY as I am a pro sofa builder, but I'll let you all be the judge. Here's a pic of my one and only side project made for a friend. Unfortunately it was not all DIY, as I don't know how to sew currently, a fellow furniture builder helped me there. I did design, build and...

    *** The official and awesome DIY thread ***

    Whoa. This thread....is awesome! Just stumbled upon it, and I'll case this thing thoroughly, but have any of you guys got a good reliable source for denim by the yard (or perhaps roll)? I have found a few sources online, but nothing truly satisfying. I'm actually a sofa builder, and near LA-I...

    Calling all LLBean Katahdin Iron Works Boots owners

     At least the past few weeks. Been searching for boots for the past few weeks, Katahdin price did not impress. The nearly identical Chippewa 20086 goes for $100 in my size, and that's before the 20% discount. The cap toe and hooks to the top and ll bean return policy are great, but not at...

    Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot Review

    Just ordered the Wolverine Plainsman (6", soft toe), got a few questions- 1) Does Wolverine plan on releasing a replacement of this boot of comparable specs and style? I find the Horween leather, hooks up to the top, classic design, and this specific vibram sole to be a great combo. Why...

    Most cotton clothing is GENETICALLY MODIFIED... ****The Official List of GM-Free Cotton Clothing****

    This has thread has the feel of an enviro-savior using the forum as an outlet to spout personal ideals.. Despite this, I find the subject pretty interesting and actually worth researching-out of pure curiosity. 4characters, I think you'd have a better reception and feedback if you didn't...

    Thorogood vs. Chippewa

     Working with glues, the oil tanned leather will probably damage the Thorogoods less anyway, which makes it harder to choose since I kinda set my heart on the Chips. Argh.... This is pretty much what I wanted to hear. Good thing is it appears I can't go wrong with either choice. I'm...

    Thorogood vs. Chippewa

     Thanks for the reply. Really, the only reason price was a factor was in figuring out if I want to get two pairs or not. Regarding fit, I wish I could try them, sadly neither is available near me. For anyone else searching, I'm picking up the Chippewas for a few reasons, first being the...

    Can anyone point me in the right direction in treating some Chippewa tan GQ boots? I don't want to darken them too much. http://www.amazon.com/Chippewa-20067-American-Handcrafted-Rodeo/dp/B00413PVOC/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

    Chippewa Boots

    Beside the sole, is there any other difference between the 20080 and the 20065 models? The 20065 is significantly cheaper, so I'm wondering.

    Thorogood vs. Chippewa

    Only reason I ask here as opposed to my woodworking forums is this place knows it's boots, and those guys wear sandals, crocs, and even clogs, lol. Anyone got an opinion one way or the other?

    Thorogood vs. Chippewa

    To be clear, links of exact boots below. Thorogoods are American Heritage model, and Chippewas are, I believe, GQ model. http://www.amazon.com/Thorogood-Mens-Heritage-6-Inch-Plain/dp/B00AIH2FCQ/ref=pd_sbs_shoe_10...
