Yeah but that’s the queens English. In America we speak American….😁

update: King’s English I guess. Whoops.

In American, you can just say “fit”. There is no need for the extra syllable.

Same. I thought I designed a robust closet with our house. Guess I was an amateur. The outside storage building sounds a bit inconvenient when I have to tread through 7 feet of snowdrift in flip flops to finish getting ready for work.

Well, these were going to be my inclement weather bluchers but I’ve since moved to drier climes. Also trying to defend myself in the great closet wars that rage silently round this humble hearth and home. I guess they’ll be part of my estate lol.

At least our shoes and boots hold their value some 😁

Well Aktually…I can tell by the crease in your pants and the drape that you’re not truly “resting” on the fitment.

no was posing for a picture, but resting just carried a better tone.

After my dental appointment I switched to my moulded shoe boots for going to Trader Joe's in Pasadena. And in case anyone is wondering, yes, these do fit.

New drop from Ealdwine. RTC "Indy" on Barrie. It's basically the Barrie version of the RTC brass/berry-gold Indy Jim @ SF did last year. Missed out on that one and this quenched that thirst.

Been waiting for these for a while. Turned out absolutely great.

These started life as TSM F2 Natty boots, they had a couple of things that made them F2, but are just aging/patina so nice over the years....

Faded and stock 975s
Slowly shifting sizes to 10.5. Just more comfortable than 10s.

Yeah I found Ealdwine a little over a month ago. Matt sent me a couple “trial” pairs of Indy’s to gauge my fitment on two lasts. I ended up buying both and every time I visit the site I have to exercise all the self restraint I have, along with fear of sleeping on the couch so I don’t buy another pair. Their makeups are truly excellent.

This pair of yours is absolutely wonderful. Love the yellow stitched apron and gold hardware. Enjoy in good health.

Forever
But I faded them a few summers ago.
Left them outside for a few days.

Ahh okay. I thought it might have been a fade over time kind of thing

They will fade over time by themselves....sitting in the sun for a while just accelerates the process.

 

[anonymouz]

Yep, just was curious how long it'd take to organically fade like that
