    Leather Jackets: Post Pictures of the Best You've Seen/Owned?

    I own a S&S x Simmons Bilt Browntop in a 40 (https://standardandstrange.com/products/s-s-x-simmons-bilt-two-lane-browntop-jacket?_pos=3&_psq=Simmons&_ss=e&_v=1.0) and looking for something similar but not too similar in black. I don’t mind this but not sure if cafe racer style is right...

    It's the same. I wish my 8.5EE was a 8EEE but alas.

    Alden Modified Last: If You Wear, or are Interested, Please Read

    Well.. I'll say that after getting three pairs of Modified last, I got rid of my Barrie (8.5EE). It does not work for my foot at all. Modified is perfect. Moulded Shoe NY fitted me for a 8EEE. I bought a pair of boots from them prior to my trip to NYC in a 8.5EE. They fit well, but the boots and...

    Alden Modified Last: If You Wear, or are Interested, Please Read

    I purchased a 8.5 D https://www.mouldedshoeny.com/shop/d9828h and as stated, removed the insole to gain 2 widths. This boots fit me better than my 8.5 EE Barrie last (Alden 947- All Weather Walker) as I have more room for my big toe and pinky, and the boot actually provides more support for my...

    Japanese Boot / Shoe Appreciation Thread (White Cloud, Rolling Dub Trio, John Lofgren, Clinch, etc.

    Nice! I am looking at the Lofgren M43 boots myself. I like Clinch's construction, however for the price of the Yaeger I can get multiple Lofgren :) Additionally I am looking at the Jodphur though that heel is too high IMO +5mm more than the Clinch engineers. They'd be a cool boot with a lower...

    Japanese Boot / Shoe Appreciation Thread (White Cloud, Rolling Dub Trio, John Lofgren, Clinch, etc.

    I ordered a half sole for my Clinch boots to reduce some of the heel slip/volume. I put a full insole in and it really filled the boot but perhaps too glove-like for my liking. additionally..even the best make mistakes. the heel piece had a mis-nailed nail. coming loose. I pulled the bent nail...

    Japanese Boot / Shoe Appreciation Thread (White Cloud, Rolling Dub Trio, John Lofgren, Clinch, etc.

    I'm surprised that these work for me. I went with a 9.5 US, which is .5 bigger than my Lofgren. I don't have a hard time getting them off or on, and heel slip is minimal. I don't think I should have gone with a 9, I have a thumb's width from toes to end of boot when standing, if you have a wider...

    Boots look good. I am not sure if the proportions of skinny jeans and bulky engineers work, purely subjective.

    Oh right, y'all were waiting. Got the 9.5US size, feels good. I believe a 9 would have been a worse call. They feel comfortable in a thick sock. Now I am looking at their other shoes..

    Should be Monday, I hope they fit I hope they fit. My Lofgren feel pretty good, some heel slip, I know the Clinch are narrower everywhere so I fully expect them to be tight in my forefoot and not a lot of slip since the heel is tighter, and I also hope I can get them off! There's some really...

    Japanese Boot / Shoe Appreciation Thread (White Cloud, Rolling Dub Trio, John Lofgren, Clinch, etc.

    I was speaking with an individual who wears a 10 in Lofgren (not engineers) and says the CN soft toe in 10.5 (11.5 clinch) is a great fit. Based off that I am thinking that a 9.5 US (10.5 Clinch) would be the way to go. Standard and Strange recommended (different boot) I'd be in a 9.5 for the...

    Japanese Boot / Shoe Appreciation Thread (White Cloud, Rolling Dub Trio, John Lofgren, Clinch, etc.

    Brannock sizing for me is 9.5 Lofgren guidance (and my boots) are 9. What you're saying, and what others have suggested is a 10 or 10.5 in Japanese sizing..albeit the Wide Last (the make that Standard and Strange had made) is a 8.5US / 9.5 Japanese. I wonder if then the sizing that would be...

    Those Moto look great, wow.. http://store-motostyle.jp/?pid=142785059 ? How to size? As far as my journey back into Engineer boots.. I received Clinch (wide last) and Lofgren engineers yesterday. Clinch - very nice details, stitching is mostly OK. VERY narrow shaft, boots fit dress-shoe-glove...

    They look like clownshoes mate, however if you like them that's all that matters.

    Will see what happens. If Clinch fit well, might return the Lofgren to get the Yaeger instead..

    RM Williams Boots - Everything You Wanted to Know

    If I read correctly, the MTO program is only in-store? I tried on a 8.5 X Tambo today. Felt pretty good, perhaps that would have been a better boot for my fat foot ;)
