In my opinion, the nut is much better. It's more versatile between washed denim and black.

What do you think of these? I'm thinking of purchasing them.

Anybody ever fly with wyatts on the plane or if not what shoes do you guys use

yeah, flown with Wyatts a few times, flew with duckies on today haha.

Besides boots, I only own chucks which are harder to take on and off anyways.

wouldn't fly with wyatts since they are hardest boots for me to take on and off but duckies would be easy

Any opinions on Wyatt 30 quality? I am used to Crockett & Jones quality and would like to see the same on an even more expensive SLP boot before pulling the trigger. Thanks.

No way you will find comparable quality. To begin with most SLP boots are not even goodyear welted.

You’re paying for design. And that’s fine. Those boots were designed by one of the best paid designers in the world, and that has a cost.

Anyone have fit pics/reviews of this western shirt posted on the last page?

Being comfortable and cozy for plane rides and the convenience going through security is what to consider. That being said, I'm always in sandals or SL/01 or just a low top sneaker that I can slip on with ease.

Have a look at the runway man : https://www.vogue.com/fashion-shows/fall-2013-menswear/saint-laurent/slideshow/collection

Just picked up a pair of the Jodhpurs and looking through this makes me want the Wyatt Harness now!

I’m not a fan of the creases you see in wool coats, so I’m going to go with standing. I know some wool is pretty resilient and don’t get creases easily, but I’m not sure if that’s the case for the allure coat.

I wear my heavy SLP wool coats every day in winter, like any other piece of clothing and don't notice any creasing or lint at all... leave them on a hanger in the bathroom after having had a shower, if there against the odds would get creased. The damp air will take most creasing out of any fabric... (house wife tricks) lint also only appear on mix material fabrics or loosely wowen sweaters, not felt wool coat to my experience

Dooooo it, you won't regret it!

thanks!

Here are the boots that came in.

I think I am going to get Wyatts eventually but I'll have to wait until the price is right! SSense has them on sale right now but I'm not a big fan of the Cuban heel.

yea, being danite sole or goodyear welted would have to create certain custom look for it considering how narrow the front is. i think the point was for those fashion boots...are only blake stitched because it also wants to look great underneath.

either way i took mine to a cobbler getting it topy'd.

It is all in the cost, being goodyear welted doesn't mean the shoe would need to be bulky or lose the narrowness. Take a look at Wyatt, this is by no means a pair of "narrow" boot, the fake welt around it means you can easily have the same boot made in goodyear welted or rapid blake method, both are superior construction.

However, some can only be done in blake, one good example would be Devon, no other construction can reach this level of shape, maybe with cemented method but that is just rubbish.

Nah. Cropped jodhpurs for example there’s no way they could make them goodyear welted and keep the design. But regular jodhpurs or wyatts? They could be goodyear welted while keeping the sleek profile.

It’s simply easier/cheaper for them to make them blake stitched. The first season or couple of seasons not even that, they were cemented.

Any traditional shoemaker will make better quality boots than SLPs, some even at considerably lower prices. But no one is buying SLP because of their quality, right?

My favourite brand for boots is C&J (got a pair of Islays and soon the Skyes in shell and some day some Conistons too) but I got a pair of SLP jodhpurs because I find them beautiful and no other brand did anything remotely similar. Some have tried to imitate the style with MTOs like with Enzo Bonafe (hand welted) and whereas the resulting boots are much higher quality at a similar price, the design is just not the same, obviously.

I don’t really care as long as they can be resoled (so, not cemented for me).
