Nice! I like how solidly grey your pair is. Mine have a slight golden undertone.

Picked up a few new pairs recently that I’m really looking forward to breaking in once the heat dies down

Clockwise from 12 they’re Shinki Oiled Natural horsebutt, Division Road snuff suede, Honey Tanned horsehide, Division Road Asphalt Horsebutt Shelby, Blue Button Shop Color 8 CXL, and Division Road Port Vitello calf. All are 2030 except the Shinki horsebutt (2020), all are service boots except the Shelby.

I hear ya! I spent our winter in Africa and Australia* so I missed a whole boot wearing season. Awesome pickups!

I thought I recognized the port vitello. I’ve decided that even though I’m teaching remotely, I’m dressing like I would if I was in my classroom and my pair are getting the honor of the first day of school tomorrow.

color 8 cxl looks better than most pics I’ve seen. I purchased a color 8 shell from dot com and they were gorgeous but had a huge stain on the toe cap. Maybe I’ll try for cxl

Good man, that store is beautiful.

Also, RM Williams... best Chelseas money can buy IMHO! Good job.

Thinking about getting a pair of the gardener boots, any thoughts? Also how does sizing compare to viberg?

The gardeners are literally Aussie working boots. They're what you wear when you're out on the property, mowing your lawn, digging up **** in your garden etc. The quality is not quite as high as their Comfort Craftsman IMO but they are made to fit like a sock and made to last and be beaten up.

My only experience is the Viberg Chelseas I got for my GF (yep, my GF has Viberg Chelseas!) so I'm not sure how sizing would translate. I think she's a size 3 or 4 in those, and she's been fitted for a 3G in the RMs as well.

However, the sizing of RMs can be finicky... They're meant to be sock-like in fit. I'd recommend getting sized in store. But FYI, I wear a solid 10D Barrie and take a 9G in RMs and its perfect. You'll need to stretch them a little. A month of wear should do the job, and with care they can last generations. A lot of the Australian farmers have pairs that are decades old.

I'm a 7.5 in my Vibergs, and use an 8 (Aussie size) in the RMs, primarily because they run a little narrower and my feet are pretty wide. If you have narrower feet, you may be able to use the same size number.

How were the toe caps on those, stubby or back to normal? They have some dark cognac ones in my size but that release came in the stubby era and the product shots definitely look short, but also as ongoing production I was hoping they might have made some pairs more recently that were better proportioned.

I bought the color 8 like a year ago and returned them, the caps were normal
