They used the half sole on them, but I don't mind. Hopefully I can get it together to do an 11 eyelet in Cherry with the thicker Street sole. I have to order a dozen of one style to do the custom boots.

I see the soles are Solovair but are they made on the same lasts as the Solovair Hawkins? Just eyeballing I would guess that they are.

Speaking of astronauts, I know a lot of the originals have dismissed any connection to NASA personnel being progenitors of the look as they would have been considered old men, but there is a lot of style on display on this 1965 field trip to Iceland.

Those look like L2B jackets in the Iceland photo. Similar to the MA1 but with epaulettes. As worn by Slim Pickens and the bomber crew in Strangelove.

That must be the ultimate, turned in on itself, Frankenstein product. The DM Desert Monkey boot. Purely deductive, nothing innovative at all. Like a dead-end fossil, impossibly inbred. Wear with a Fred Sherman monkey-harrington

DM has some even darker sins in their closet currently, like their LWB's with basketball sneaker soles.
