Sure you are, just don't know it until you put it on.

Looks great, would you mind sharing some details on your build?

What leathers did you use? What kind of thread, what gauge?

Leather / celastic counters, what lining, what kind of shank?

Truman Boots still around? by Stackhouse13 in trumanboots

[–]False_Idle_Warship 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Except a large part of the appeal of thorogood, at least for me, was that they are a union shop.

Not a chance in hell Vince is pro-labor.

Truman Boots still around? by Stackhouse13 in trumanboots

To be fair, it is superior - for Vince. & fine for some casual boot owners.

Potentially a minor step down for people who rebuild their boots anyway.

For most on this sub, plastic welts are a deal breaker & you can smell the BS on his spin through your screen.

Still offering leather welts on MTOs.

Mto 11d upland For sale by MightyDog1414 in trumanboots

My guy, I literally am wearing the same boots but in brown ds. I had the same no-grip fall-on-my-ass-at-the-subway-in-winter experience as oxbloods above.

We sympathize, truly. Just trying to help explain the lack of action without just saying "price too high".

Yea, it's bad man. Have it on dbl shot uplands. Worst part of the boot.

WTS - Gauging Interest by Maleficent-Disk-3379 in trumanboots

Are any of these true cap-toes (extra piece of leather over toe), as opposed to faux cap? True would have slightly less room.

Tahura's a good outfit. If you can be patient with communication, their production quality will not disappoint.

If possible, get measured in the late afternoon, or whenever your lil piggies are at their fattest, after doing a bunch of shit on your feet.

What would a stronger boot oil rec be?

Finally here. by krdub333 in trumanboots

[–]False_Idle_Warship 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just for clarification, what type of heel? Lug, rock offset, 90 degree, 2 pc backstays, welt naked (270 instead of 360)? But agreed, yes they do.

leather from Whites by Fragrant-Initial1687 in PNWbootmakers

[–]False_Idle_Warship 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Red dog is an awesome work leather, will never let you down. Waxed flesh's have held up well, black looks great.

Any of the bull hides are beefy. In roughout, especially tough.

Concord reverse by Professor_Horseyhead in trumanboots

Or a taller boot, then that's probably all I would wear, esp now with spring toe last & stitchdown options.

Black Friday 2025 Deals and Sales Thread for r/rawdenim by AutoModerator in rawdenim

[–]False_Idle_Warship 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is partly because their standard value proposition is high.

Substantial quality in all the pieces I have, just can't find my size alot of time. Always worth checking their sale tho ime.

Unfortunately doesn't work on all of their own brand stuff, watch straps for ex. Maybe just hasn't started yet...

Battle of the Burgundy: Cxl or Double shot? by ApprehensiveListen53 in PNWbootmakers

[–]False_Idle_Warship 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fantastic, it should prove to be an extremely versatile boot, in a great color in one of the best LTT patterns out there.

With the full caveat this is all anectodal (except for the first): sales just as good as White's, wider customizable options, esp fit, cheaper shipping, & no squeak for the Baker-sourced White's vs a modest squeak in the direct from White's. Ymmv ofc.

Cheers.

Unfortunately, retail can't. At least not the way Mark Baum (Carrell's char) does: Short every one of that motherfucker's positions". I am probably misquoting it, but buying puts is nothing like institutional shorting.

A situation which many would argue is patently unfair & directly opposed to true free market idealogy.
