1 is awesome. Suspect most people will gravitate toward the turquoise, which is also cool, but I like 1 the most.

@grayfox i have the MHL postman and like them a lot. It’s a big roomy fit but I think it’s tts. If you’re a half size I’d go down though. And yeah they use the waxy leather.
the OL parade derby looks really nice too. I think either is a solid choice but the MHL are definitely wider, the OL seem to have a nice taper on them. Only experience I have with OL footwear are the commando boots and Camion and they’re both solid imo.

I like both 1 and 3. But it comes down to how big 3 is?

It's about 3 x 3 (have to check). That one is actually kind of a placeholder cause it's somewhat easy to find sand casted buckles. I'm not wedded to that particular design, but am interested in maybe getting a sand casted buckle.

Somewhat surprised that so many people like 3. I would have thought that would be the least popular one on the list.

Dont get just one sand casted belt buckle, there are so many damn good ones all over ebay that you should slowly make a collection. I would get one but I spent all my extra cash on a new squash blossom from Chipeta Trading.

FWIW, I find LVC tops to fit kind of tricky. I don't know about their jackets (I've only tried t-shirts, flannels, and sweatshirts). Sometimes I have to size up in tops. MIght be worth buying only if you can return the item.

I like suede truckers though. I have a Barbanera one that I wear a lot.
