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!.

Interesting reading the comment about custom made orthotics as I have the same issue. I have 2 pairs of boots from years ago, and then had to have orthotics made after messing up my arches running marathons.
I am pleasantly surprised that ( simply ) removing the insert in the Dynamic Flex Craftsman leaves enough room for the orthotic yet preserves the fit of the boot over the foot, so I will try this when next able to go to an RMW shop.
How bad/compromised was it trying to juggle going up 1/2 or 1 size and tweaking the width selection?
They do this, but I haven't had any direct experience doing it. There was a rumour RMW were doing away with authorised repairers in Oz and asking that boots be sent back to the factory for re-crafting. Presumably they received a few complaints about some 'authorised' RMW bootmakers and decided to move it all in house.Any feedback on sending back to RMW for resoling or do they not do that?
Apologies for delay, took around 3-4 weeks and the result is great. Will PM you a few pics and highly recommend Nungar.
Many apologies for the lengthy delay in response to this (it's been a while since I frequented), but just in case this is still relevant...
Significantly, in comparison. If you wear orthotics, go with the Dynamic Flex and remove the insole, the 'bigger Craftsman' option just isn't worth it.
As well, apparently as part of the MTO process, they can also tailor an insole to the exact shape of your orthotics if you so wish (e.g. if you want leather screwed soles). However I'm not sure how practical an option that is for those of us who don't live in Adelaide and don't want to ship expensive orthotics halfway around the world (or across the country).
For those interested, I should clarify this again (said it many pages ago, but it bears repeating): I should add that I am talking about orthotics made by a podiatrist, specifically for your own foot. By their nature and construction, these tend to be thicker than the generic ones that many people add to their shoes, so in many cases my advice may not apply, especially if you use a thin orthotic.For my standard craftsman boots, I sized up a width and used the green superfeet insoles. It's worked very well for several years.
The heater has fortunately been unplugged and scheduled for storage!
BTW, for anyone who is interested, these are in chestnut. The dark tan versions appeared very similar (slightly less dark) but quite a bit darker than dark tan on yearling.
