Not sure. As far as I could tell it was a standard six-five. Prices seems about right given the coyote fur trims from the current winter season were around 360,000

Does anyone know if there is much dye transfer from the Indigo ND Amplus? Not wanting it to dye onto lighter coloured stuff.

Definitely wash it by itself. I do cold water in a laundry bag in washing machine. All ND and VD cut and sew bleeds. From my experience, ND bleeds more than VD but not to the extent of some denim bleeding into white-t shirt while wearing

By the way, has anyone tried the new 24aw scout mocs? Wanted to get a black pair and wondering about the fit. Saw someone on Instagram complaining it being narrow? The style of the small moc toe is just too intriguing and I found it very hard to resist.

Size up at least half size. Stretches out a fair bit but still narrow.

Have any of you guys spot treated the N.D. finish cotton/nylon blend stuff (six-five, patterson, chamdo, etc.) curious how sensitive it is. Might just wait for a dry cleaner but figured I would ask. Thanks!

IIRC they are just mud soaked, and washing it tends to rinse that out. It shouldn't impact it in a major way, but you lose a bit of that subdued hue.

Anybody try on the 25aw stuff in person? Have a question I need answered about some of the outer.

The lining was indeed different, I think the whole thing was made from their new washable wool

Yeah I was at the trunk show in person but didn't try on everything.

Am I the only one who has undefeatable mold on their I.C.T. boots? No idea what causes the reaction... I've cleaned it a couple times and it always comes back. (Don't mind the look it's just wild how stubborn it is)

Yes I don't know what it is but I get that white layer on top of my Grizzlys too.

No white fungus on ICT 21AW brigs or 19AW Lafayette. Weird that it would keep coming back. Is it only outside or inside the foot area where it could get on skin?

It's really only the toe box, and some of the sides near the stitching. I didn't have it for the first few months it really developed after a hike where I caked the whole boot in a 2nd layer of mud just from wear... seems most visible when it is very cold out.

There’s perhaps still moisture in the shoe that doesn’t want to go and this builds up further when worn from moisture from feet or rain. The top layer on shoe you wipe up but the boot itself still retaining moisture. I guess the dmgd work for some reason plays a factor

Get some silica packs or put near a dehumidifier may help?

Wipe them with white vinegar. Mix 1 part water and 1 part white vinegar. Use a cloth and wipe it on the outside and inside. The smell of vinegar will disappear dont worry. It will make the leather inhabitable for mold to grow. Works for mine!
