What are those jeans???? They have a classic 1940's/50's fit. Kind of remind me of guys building skyscrapers or cowboys or something. Kind of like the look

They are kind of cool. In a James Dean or Iron Worker in 1940 kind of way.

Yeah, definitely Workwear style

Speed hooks do make it easier to take off, put on boots, but not a total deal breaker as far as makeups go. I prefer speed hooks, but have a few pair with all eyelets, and there is something about taking time/lacing to make sure things are correct. I once read here "we spend a lot of money on these boots, so we should enjoy the lacing"

I definitely agree it shouldn't be a deal breaker but it certainly is a plus.

Kind of dig it, but don't know if I could wear it at my age. Either that, or people would say "Look at that old man with the rolled up big jeans". Of course, at my age, IDGAF.

Thank you! Yes these are very much a 30's style cut. I may have to recuff them to get the hem a little higher for a perfect no break, but very full cut. The denim is At Last & Co

@audog I've totally embrace older styles (more 30's-50's casual) just cause I feel the most comfortable in it. I'm sure I get some looks here and there but I totally love that era of dress

If you like it, are comfortable in it, then go for it!

Hey, Gents...

Would appreciate some opinions on the George boot. I've always enjoyed the look of them (I saw a "rock star"--aka street musician--with a similar style boot on when I was a kid), but am concerned about fit.

I cannot wear loafers for the life of me--can't dial in the size/foot sensitivity stuff, yada yada yada. I like a laced shoe so that I can make little adjustments throughout the day/days. Honestly, will probably be a boot only guy at some point in my life because of multiple support points as opposed to shoes...

Would this boot be a crapshoot? Does the buckle/strap really offer stability? Or, is this a slip-on with a decoration?

Thanks.

Does anyone have a pair of plain toe boots with a medallion? I know they exist, but I haven't seen anyone ever post them here. I also can't find a retailer that has them for sale. I know B+M had some for sale some time earlier this year, but they aren't listed on the site anymore.

I don't have them, but LeatherSoul did these a while back:
