not very hedi (so i don't expect much love on here...), but i just bought these chelseas for the winter. the crep sole makes them much more comfy and casual compared to the leather sole version. Highly recommended when you're after a slimmer version to the bottega chelseas.

^ I hate those but you make them look pretty good. That said, you mention you bought them for the winter. Have you ever worn a boot with crepe sole in the rain/snow? It's literally like walking on ice.

we don't have much snow where i live, but in fact i haven't. Always thought that leather soles are way more slippery? I was just after some casual/less-chic alternative to my wyatts and these are perfect for that. They look like sth. u would expect from apc/acne and not from sl, but in fact that's what i love about them.

I went for a walk in my cigar jodhpurs and I caught no less than 3 girls staring at them.

I wonder if it's because they are still pristine and they stand out (they're two weeks old and worn for a few hours only), because they think "oh those are beautiful, I'd like a pair for myself" or "why is this dude wearing womens boots" (my gf says they look like womens boots).

Yeah, Hedi really makes slimmer versions of typically chunky boots. I really like the moto boots with their slim shafts because you can wear skinny jeans over them. Your crepe sole boots look good on you!

for random girls on the street is certainly a combination of these two
agree. I feel that way too thats why i just prefer sneakers when i dont want weird looks from people... Dont criticize me... Its true. There is nothing so standout about cigar jodhs they just look like many women boots made by topshop... I own a pair myself so no hate on jodhs but its true. Unless you have velvet wyatt like @OakGhost they are not something that standout(other than being looked at as women boots)

I live in NY, 2 hours north of NYC and I have no issues walking in the snow with my Bottegas.

weird looks? lol.

3cm/4cm heels don't look like womens boots to me nor to my gf, nor to any other girls i know, guess it depends on social circles or city. (i'm in london).

girls (but mostly guys, oddly) DO take notice of the jodhpurs IME.

So, are bigas15's jodphurs still being sold or is only a darker shade being sold this season/right now?
I dont think they are available anymore, these were from 15fw i think, thats when i got mine in the same colour as bignas15. The current ones are darker.

Hi everyone, I'm not sure if this is the right place, but I'll try anyway:

Is this a legit tag to a 2016 classic L01 jacket? It just looks off to me, but I actually haven't seen a tag with 2016 on it yet, so maybe it's real.

Thanks
