To my shame I can beat that number.

Chapeaux Sir!

In my defence, I bought my first pair of Tricker's back in the late ’90s.

I’m but an amateur.

yea but that's just trickers. zippyh is the OG of SF shoe buying... he's been posting here since the 'heydey' where Voxsartoria would buy 10 pairs of Vass at once.

I've used Tricker's/Saphir cognac.

Thanks— I’ve got several pair somewhere near that color and realized a neutral polish was all I had for them

Hey guys,
I received my pair of bourbon shell chukkas from Mr Porter last night. I didnt have a chance to snap any pics but can confirm that they are definitely horween and definitely bourbon. This is my first pair of trickers but they seem to be quite well made.

zippyh/Olderfellow,

Since you both have a HUGE sample set of experience........Do all your Trickerss in the same model, same last, fit similarly or have you had to up/down sizing accordingly? Same last different model fit similarly?

 

[zippyh]

For the most part, same last pairs fit similarly. There are some pairs that fit differently though. Not enough to change size but I do notice.

I’ve found Alden to vary more. Trickers are pretty consistent.

Sample set. I like it! I would concur with zippyh. I would say that one in 20 boots on the same last is significantly tighter and the odd one or two looser. Other than that most are consistent. But not so consistent that I wouldn't ask try on another pair in the same size before dismissing out of hand a boot in a given size

no "x" except if you wear more than one hat at the time

86 pairs of Tricker's, quite impressive!

How many boots among those?

Lucky you I find huge (up to half size) differences in my Stow in 4497S - 6.5 - 5... Around one on 3 have variation with my standard (my first pair of Stow in Expresso)
Captoes are more regular in my case.

One moment, I'll just check my spreadsheet (and I'm not joking, either...). Er, 48.

I did sell my unworn shell C&J Skye 2 last year though. So now don't have any cordovan in my collection/

That’s crazy talk.

Thank you kind sir. I love watching the cycling and that’s always what they say when a rider has had a good ride so I’ve adopted as part of my vernacular! ?
