UNIFORM LA CHILLICOTHE WORK JACKET Drop, going on right now.
Uniform LA's Chillicothe Work Jacket is an elevated take on the classic Detroit Work Jacket. Made of ultra-premium 14-ounce Japanese canvas, it has been meticulously washed and hand distressed to replicate vintage workwear that’s been worn for years, and available in three colors.
This just dropped today. If you missed out on the preorder, there are some sizes left, but they won't be around for long. Check out the remaining stock here
Good luck!.

Might be easier to make it yourself. You trace the pattern with paper around the outsole, subtract 5mm from all edges, then iteratively trim the paper until you get a good fit inside (just press it against the edges and the creases provide the contour to cut). That's your pattern.In my browsing here I've seen several drawings of the various last shapes available from Carmina. Is this something that Carmina provides? Asking because I'm looking to have a custom pair of leather insoles made for my 9.5 Detroit boots.
this is perfect, thank you!Might be easier to make it yourself.

That's your pattern.
Afterwards, trace on to vegtan leather of appropriate thickness. Rasp and glue heel in place if needed (see image2) - use vegtan shoulder, or neoprene spongey foam if you want a softer feel. I made these to take up the volume in my jodhpurs until they conformed to my foot and stopped slipping in the heel:

If you don't have the tools to do a nice job on the leather, make your own test run in cardboard first and can adjust the thickness until you get it right so you commission something appropriate.

I have not, but I'll definitely start with that then make my own if necessary (I'm decently handy with leather work)Have you tried contacting Carmina directly? They've offered lasted insoles in the past
Carmina Shoes - Definitive Thread (reviews, advice, sizing, etc...) - official thread.
Has anyone received their Kirby event MTO yet? I’m getting antsy and would love to live vicariously through pictures if anyone received theirs ahead of me.www.styleforum.net
My watch strap agrees with this statement ?I have not, but I'll definitely start with that then make my own if necessary (I'm decently handy with leather work)
Can be a long time (more than a week), from experience.Any idea how long Carmina has been taking to reply to emails?
