    Real Mccoys Dead Wood leather jacket, black s40

    Real Mccoys Dead Wood leather jacket, black s40 Horse hide masterpiece, and this cost almost £1600 to the Uk with taxes Lightly used, and as new with the creases just starting. Still undecided as I am reluctant to sell, but have so many jackets I have to be realistic. It's a tagged 40 but...

    Offical TRICKERS shoes and boots thread

     Ignore the "yes" answer above - Trickers do mark shoes in US sizes, and I have a pair that have the US size in them. They always state this if you buy direct, or from their factory shop. Buy private and you could be caught out. Rare, but it does happen if the run is made for a US store, for...

    my latest additions - before a complete Saphir overhaul Trickers could only add that they were style 9664 found in an old brochure from the 1970s - ‘Medium brown gorse calf, round toe, Flex Dri-Ped leather sole" They have wonderfully thick leather which buffs up great. Have been resoled well...

    ^ You like those (the nasty gumlite colour soles)? Not for me! The brown things just above are hideous! Tricker's/P&f Cordovan Boot on the link above - now we are talking!!

    was there any need to "quote" the entire picture series again, so I had to sit through them twice in two posts?!? It about crashed my browser.

    Got some brand new (worn twice) ilkley size 8 (UK) that I'm going to have to sell if anyone fancies a commando sole classic. I need to replace them with a 7.5 - as I found with my 4444 Keswicks. I'm TTS in the 4497 last, though. Outrageously good shoes, and the only bad thing I can say about...

     Come on then.... Spill! And how did you find you sized compared to normal?

    Offical TRICKERS shoes and boots thread

     Nah, I saw the same boots a while back and made a note the next pair would be mine! But, no point getting the wrong size just to wish they fitted you better. If they were an 8 I'd be wearing them by now. I have some Allan's already in 8 and they are fine, but thought they are the 4497...

    Anyone know how the 81 last fits? No info on the Tricker's fitting guide for this last. I'm an 8 in everything but the 4444 in which I go for 7.5 Guessing 8 1/2 in the 81 last will be too big (however much I want a pair of ebay 8 1/2's for sale!) Or is it a small last where they suggest...

    The special runs are just MTO's in volume. They will use the same leathers and craftsmen etc. They are often just a different sole option with a different colour leather interior (no real change from the standard model in construction). The key is more the leather used, and this is sometimes...

    Offical TRICKERS shoes and boots thread

    ^ No mention of the last used anywhere... Looks like a modified Burford, so guessing 4497S - pity it isn't an 8 or I'd be tempted. Would compliment my Belstaff Brad! Although, not quite as unique as you'd think knowing it is on general sale somewhere. Would be a great biker boot for sure, or...

    Offical TRICKERS shoes and boots thread

    Gents, I have some size 8 Ilkleys I am thinking I may have to sell - boxed with all the bits. They are too big, despite an insole. I've worn them, but I'd describe them as effectively new. They are not factory shop ones, they were full price. Would ideally swap for as new 7.5's (this was...

    Trickers website has ALL the info you need on what size to take! These are on the 4444 last, as they End website tells you. Now go to the shoe (or any shoe) on Trickers website - and click the link for "fitting information"... http://www.trickers.com/sizing.htm The info for EVERY last is on...

     61/2 I have some McNairy (for Tres Bien) boots in an 8 and they fit me superbly - most comfy shoes I have. My size 8 Ilkely are huge and still slide with an insole and thick socks. My 71/2 Keswick (same last) are much better. I'm going to have to sell the zug grain Ilkley as they just...

     Stows are on the 4497 This last is not as roomy as the 4444 and suits me a lot better (I have high instep and find them a little more true to size.

    It is 91/2 width 5 uk (unless Trickers have marked it for the US market and they will always state this at point of sale). The L is their slightly lazy way of writing 1/2 So a 10.5 in US, width 5?

    I just don't get turn ups (cuffs). I know people want to show off selvedge jeans, but I'm fed up of the sight of every photo having them on. Am I the only person i the world who like my jeans to end as they were intended?! I know some turn them up to help the photo show off the shoe... Hey -...
