I am drinking but not trolling. I am soaking up boot season.

It's likely you'll be forced to wear cuffed corduroy and luxury slippers. I can't imagine anything worse, really. Godspeed and best of luck to you, sir.

Thanks!, you are the best, It's been a lot of fun..

Seriously, I'm waiting for my Cordovan Derbies Carmina in Oscar that I will happily post wearing uncoffed jeans or chinos

Received my MTO double monks today and I’ve got say, I’m over the moon... absolutely amazed at this pair. Customized an model 80133 but to be crafted on Rain last, burgundy football print shell cordovan, vintage gold buckles and metal toe caps. Love at first sight upon opening the box...

That deserves a full size image. Wow spectacular.....

Beautiful boots.. don't mean to be an asshole (and I understand everytime one says don't mean to be an asshole we are actually being an asshole), but from where these all rolled up at least 2 inches thick jeans comes from?, it's really dorky, I never see that kind of stuff here, and I also travel a lot and never see that, seems to me a SF thing.

It's an honest curiosity, what is wrong with straight up jeans showing more of the boots?

If you mean like this, then it’s a pretty normal way to wear jeans, especially selvedge. If you mean bigger turnups/cuffs than that, I don’t tend to see that very regularly. I see more dad jeans than I’d expect on SF too.

Clearly, all our trousers are inch perfect here. It’s not taken on my patio at all.

Indeed. Additionally any pictures taken with cords and country shoes or boots in this location are clearly photoshopped and nothing to do with me.

Thanks @stook1 ! Are the Utah boots brown? These have a bit of a burgundy hue to them if you need justification ?

My size on those calways was snatched muy pronto...
Your pair on that leather looks amazing.

oops... deleting that comment. Thought it was addressed to me...

1 inch seems passable, looks nice.. but at the end is a matter of preference, I would never wear black tassel loafers (or any color) with any kind of pants. I'm not that sophisticated. I'm Alden Barry last with jeans type.

You are right, it is a matter of preference. I don’t like big turn ups/cuffs on jeans as, although I’m fairly tall I have comparatively short legs and big turn ups exaggerate that.

I’m a big fan of tassel loafers, but I’m aware not everyone is. Never bought Alden, they aren’t easy to find in the U.K., and they are expensive next to other makers of similar quality.

Try endclothing and trunkclothiers
