I am looking to get a new pair of boots. I came across this pair from East Man Leather that I like:

USMC Raider Boots

However, I am not familiar with that brand. They popped up on my instagram feed after following similar reproduction brands (i.e. Toys McCoy).

Does anyone have boots (or other leather items) from this brand? Are they worth the price tag or are there better alternatives? If so, I'd be interested in learning more - still in the research phase, not in a hurry to purchase.

I also like the Clinch Boots (Gary) which will be released soon. Not sure what the price tag will be on those, probably much higher. Mentioning this because those are the two pair of boots I am currently eyeing.

Almost positive they are done through John Lofgren, which is just white label out of Miyagi Kogyo. Well done, GYW boot, probably slightly overpriced. The Clinch will be more expensive but they are also handwelted/hand lasted. Standard and Strange stocks both brands fwiw.

How do you prefer trousers to be finished?

  • Plain hem

  • Cuffed (1.5 inches or less)

  • Cuffed (more than 1.5 inches)

  • No preference, as long as the proportions work
