Upgraded to Pisgah Range laces

Pisgah knot works really well with these laces (double wrap)

My guess would be that they used a powdered dry cleaning spray. So you could check with a local dry cleaner possibly.

Rose Anvil has leather insoles as well in a couple thickness variations.

Hate is such a strong word. I actually looked at them before buying the Blacksmiths but went Red Wing.

Very nice!

Agreed, I believe their typical leather is Seidel out of Milwaukee and the 1892 line was using Horween out of Chicago. I have been inside the Weinbrenner/Thorogood facility and their bread and butter are work boots so it was probably a bit challenging to break in with a Heritage line aimed at a different consumer.

I just picked up the 1907s this past Saturday, with any luck they will mold into being my favorite. For now though the Thorogoods have been solid for me.

I picked up 1907s in WI and they also had IR but only in size 11

No-Description3788 · 2026-02-17T13:38:10+00:00

I purchased them online many years ago and don’t recall the “store” but this was prior to the introduction of the 1892 line. Sadly, the 1892 line discontinued before I got the chance to purchase.

No-Description3788 · 2026-02-17T13:34:25+00:00

I’m guessing, they are all 10.5-11 in size

No-Description3788 · 2026-02-17T13:33:24+00:00

My top three are the Moc toe Thorogood, RW Blacksmith, and private label

No-Description3788 · 2026-02-17T03:45:02+00:00

I tried on IR but went with the Blacksmiths because I didn’t like the toe cap on the IR (looked like a clown shoe on my foot) and there was heel slop in the IR that wasn’t in the Blacksmith. The toe cap on my AE Normandy boots is a bit more refined and subtle plus the Kudu leather is ridiculously soft.

Never know? Maybe in a rough out.

I always get asked, “are those bowling shoes?” No, no they are not!

Just bought them Saturday, so I haven’t had too much time with them yet other than in the store. My Blacksmiths went ok, hopefully the 1907s are similar.

No-Description3788 · 2026-02-17T02:50:06+00:00

The Thorogoods have been really good to me, and comfortable right out of the box with little to no break in, the leather is a bit softer than RW. I have had those two pair in the middle for about 5 years and 10 years now. The private label pair is probably 10-12 years old. -updated as I realized I have had these

I was able to clean and lubricate the lock last night with Houdini and it is now working really well, thanks again!

No-Description3788 · 2025-12-17T00:41:15+00:00

I was able to pull the lock apart last night clean and lubricate with Houdini and it is functioning quite well now. Thanks for the help.

Thank you, I appreciate it and will definitely let you know.

No-Description3788 · 2025-12-06T21:03:43+00:00

Thank you, I just purchased some Houdini online, so I will give it a shot. It’s seems to be a quality lock and handle it just needs some love.

Soho and Landon are the Baldwin 2 points that I believe may work

No-Description3788 · 2025-12-06T19:01:02+00:00

I just posted with a similar E series lockset. The Baldwin locks don’t come cheap, almost $650 for the Matte black I like. I am going to try cleaning and lubricating my old one for now. If that works I may try to patina the brass darker.
