Black denim discussion thread and indigo-free zone
I tried the Samurai S5000BK when I was in Japan this spring and it's an amazingly rough, slubby denim but I ended up passing because I was looking for a black/black denim. I'd definitely still recommend them though, enough room in the thigh for someone with a larger quad and a reasonable fit...- SiegfriedFuerst

Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread
Before we all hop on the Luxire leathers hype train, see the review of said jacket here. It was evidently not made to the customer specifications and he felt the inexperience with leathers really showed in some of the construction aspects. That said it looks really nice aesthetically.- SiegfriedFuerst

The squeaking supposedly pretty rare, but FWIW I prefer leather as well.- SiegfriedFuerst

Nicks Boots
It's interesting that they're using leather. Carreducker has said in thier blog that they use felt or cork specifically because leather can occasionally cause squeaking and is stiffer/takes longer to break in (although the second consideration probably isn't a concern for Viberg).- SiegfriedFuerst

Patattack, I've never beena fan of a bump toe like that with the high heel and waist when there's no real shaft to balance it out. IMO, that's not a good choice of last for the shoe. However I suspect it should hold up really well.- SiegfriedFuerst

Great graphic. Really makes the construction clear. Do you happen to know if that's Identical the the Viberg construction or if it's more specific to Wesco?- SiegfriedFuerst

Viberg and I believe WESCO as well are using a strict stitchdown construction, which is a rather different construction style. Danner is the other big brand using stitch down but it's fairly popular on high end hiking boots. As far as I know, the rolled or "rolled norwegian" construction that...- SiegfriedFuerst

Nicks Boots
You are waaaaay far in the wrong thread. These are almost certainly from a more SW&D oriented brand and not from a workwear brand. However you could probably imitate them with a black smooth leather on a six inch boot with one of the black vibram christy soles and blackout stitching/hardware...- SiegfriedFuerst

This is the description of the waxed kudu from the Stead Tannery site. " The Kudu is an Antelope from Southern Africa, living wild in the bush, and culled seasonally on a sustainable basis. The Antelope family have traditinally provided skins which make unique leather offering a combination...- SiegfriedFuerst

As far as I know Stead only does suedes and exotics. Here's their product page. I wonder if they do the Kudu that Carmina used in the Jumper boots they did for Epaulet?- SiegfriedFuerst

For those who aren't familiar, F Stead is the tannery that Alden and Meermin source their suedes from. I'm looking forward to getting that group order going so we can get some side-by-side comparisons on here. Revrend and I have White's already and I think we were both interested in going in for...- SiegfriedFuerst

Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread
That pretty much sums it up. Handwelting prevents the possibility of a small probability failure (gemming) but that doesn't seem to translate into a much longer lifespan since there's a lot of other factors that will break first.. The more practial application is that a handwelt allows a much...- SiegfriedFuerst

Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot Review
In my experience, Obenaufs boot oil doesn't darken nearly as much as LP. And frankly in those conditions I would just wipe down and brush after wearing and condition every once in a while, I think there's sufficient consensus to say that Bick 4, GlenKaren, and Lexol are all good conditioners...- SiegfriedFuerst

With regards to the care of roughout. I find it easiest to apply conditioner to the inside of the shoe. Normally lexol because it's easy to spray in there.- SiegfriedFuerst

Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot Review
Here's the White's About page where they explain it a little. Basically, they have a high arch made of leather, a deep heel cup and a standard position that has your foor angled down a bit. The arch breaks in to your foot in a month or so and it becomes really, really comfortable to stand in...- SiegfriedFuerst

Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot Review
As you're probably aware, beeswax is a primary component of both obenaufs LP and sno-seal, both of which seem to be used rather liberally by people in this thread, it has a melting temperature of 144-177 F or 62-64 C. Of course, this doesn't affect it's usefullness at low temperatures because...- SiegfriedFuerst
