    Offical TRICKERS shoes and boots thread

    Those look lovely CC. Wish I'd been more careful polishing my 1001 Stows as they've gone a rather orangey shade, think Judith Chalmers meets Peter Stringfellow (if you can bear to think of that). Not sure what it is about the 1001 but it seems to take on other colours very easily. Not that...

    Thanks CC. (I lived in Cumbria for a few years, many, many years ago. In fact it was a friend up there who owned the first pair of Trickers I'd ever seen!) I hadn't considered having anything done with the edges and wasn't even sure that was possible so thanks for that suggestion. I like the...

    Offical TRICKERS shoes and boots thread

    I think the visible eyelets suit them. I have a long unworn pair of Woodstocks in black that are a bit "neither fish nor fowl" in that they're a bit chunky for formal wear but not casual enough for jeans etc. Granted that's part of the deal with black shoes. I'm even considering going the white...

    Official Guitar, Amp, Pedals, and Gear Thread

    Denny Dias' solo on "Your Gold Teeth II" is my favourite of the 'Dan guitar solos. Very jazzy but suits the track perfectly. Killer drums too, but then you would expect that from them...

    Offical TRICKERS shoes and boots thread

    Quick question about "repurposing" a pair of old Trickers. I have some black Woodstock shoes that are about 15 years old that I've hardly worn in the last 10 years due to the combination of: (a) not liking pairing plain black shoes with jeans/chinos (which is all I wear these days) and (b)...

    Offical TRICKERS shoes and boots thread

    Many thanks to @sleepyinsanfran @Munky and @badgeggcat. I like the contrast welts so I've no desire to darken it up hugely but I'm sure it will take on a darker colour over time due to age, exposure to the elements and the "brush bleed" described by Munky. My Stows are an odd colour...

    Offical TRICKERS shoes and boots thread

    Sorry for the new member spam onslaught but my new boots have a similar, natural welt and a darker, coffee coloured leather upper. It's a great look but I'm not sure how you would go about polishing them. Seems like the three options are: 1) stick to neutral polish 2) be very careful with the...

    Those Sanders look fantastic Munky. If I hadn't spent up on some new Trickers, I'd have snapped a pair up in the sale :(

    Introduce yourself.

    Hulloo Decided to join after occasional browsing (mainly the Trickers shoes thread) for a year or two. Would not regard myself as stylish in any way but I admire the quality very much in others. The combination of permanent penury and a body akin to an extremely short and portly gorilla...
