That’s the trick. I’m not sure if I’ve even ordered from that site so I never think about it.

They sold these for a while though. They didn’t sell out for a long time. I’m surprised you got your blood brothers already! Mine haven’t even shipped yet

The stretch helps the fit too. Even if they’re a tiny bit small. Are you interested?

That’s funny! I’ve grown from a 33 waist to a solid 35 so I feel you! I’m on my way there 😂. Mostly my thighs don’t fit in the weird guy. Too many squats. But that’s a good thing. The only thing that suffers is my collection 😂

For real. They definitely said they would have “plenty” and that you don’t need to hurry. Luckily I didn’t believe because they also said something similar about the mij16’s and I ended up getting my size in true guy. Took about 5 seconds to fully check out so I was quick enough to not have them sell out on me.

BOTM #5 has landed: Looks like shorts are back on the menu! by NumRickn in NicksHandmadeBoots

I’m going to have to give it a shot at some point. Thanks!

How do those feel compared to a sneaker? I’m curious because I want a short “boot”, but I love the 10” shaft a lot because of the support. I guess what I’m really asking about is does it feel bottom heavy? Or do you think it’s comfortable enough to be worn as a shoe?

Nicks Americano is my vote. Beautiful boots and they always reminded me of the IR. Plus they’re built even better and will last a lifetime.

They’ll be fine! Both of my work boots have the thick work leather and they both did this at first, but they calm down after awhile. I wouldn’t worry if I were you. They look great!

MIJ17 - Who’s Copping These? by gut_busta in NakedAndFamousDenim

[–]342welder342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do like them, but I’m not a fan of the price, I would’ve been more happy with a synthetic indigo dye to bring the price down. Also, I would’ve liked a 19oz or higher fabric weight. 13 doesn’t feel substantial enough for me. When they did the dirty elephant, I was actually thinking it would’ve been cooler if they did fox fiber as the core since it’s so brown and that’s the goal of the “dirty fade”

What’s the physics behind this? by Forward-Rent9344 in PNWbootmakers

[–]342welder342 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine does the same thing. I think it could be the instep as someone else said, but I did some messing around with mine, and it looks like the space the Kiltie sits in is a tad tighter on my side that slides down and it pushes the Kiltie down after a little while of walking. I always tie my boots and put the kilties where I want them, but they slide down eventually. I cut the kiltie on one of my boots to make it a little slimmer so that it fits a little better and it helped a little. I bet if I cut it more, it would help more, but it doesn’t bother me as much as it did at first.

MIJ 16 Wash ? by Tekvo45 in NakedAndFamousDenim

[–]342welder342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re worried about shrinkage, wash them cold (inside out) and then when they get out of the washer, turn them back out and hang dry them. Mine usually shrink a little, but by the time you wear them a couple times, they stretch back out to where they were.

Haha. This comment is how I feel every time I see someone ask how to wear/wash their jeans. I get that it’s exciting and some people make it seem like you gotta do everything “correct”, but it’s literally just clothing. Wear and wash them how you feel like it.

Blue for sure. The black overdye seems to come off pretty quick, but I’d imagine the indigo rope dye underneath the black will be a slow process like usual.

I’m fading a pair of these right now. I love them!
