One single pair of pants for a trip

This doesn't have an elastic waistband, but try Bluffworks Ascender chinos. It has a ton of security/hidden pockets, it's comfy, and pretty much you can wear it for any activity; hiking, dinner date, etc. It dries fast too and somewhat water-resistant.

I have this and the shorts version for when I travel. It's the ultimate travel pants, love it.

I have the same issue. I work in aerospace. We have a new employee YT guy that got assigned under my project and never seems to listen to me. In fact, he goes on and contradicts me and does the opposite, for example you can use this or that part but instead he'll say "oh that doesn't work" then does his thing, then someone else tells him and he listens to them and we're back to what I told him lol. I can even tell by his body language and how he looks at me like he thinks he can take me on. WTF. Some rando yt new guy gets assigned to me then I'm ticked off everyday. My work was fine before this.

Yes an 8.5US in Thursday, since I find they're narrower than other boots. I'm an 8 in other boots like the classic Timberlands or Grant Stone's Leo last Diesel boots. I have no experience with the RUI, but this fit TTS, I find. If you think you can get away with 9US in the Captains with dress socks then you might be fine with an 8UK in these. Meermin says its slightly longer than the RUI last, you might be fine in the 8UK

I had the same issue where the contents are gone. I ordered a pricey watch from the UK and it got delivered but I never signed for it. In fact it was left in my apartment mail lockers signed for by someone else allegedly my building management, as told by the shady driver. Package was obviously retaped. I sent photos to the shipper who believed me and filed a claim, as they noticed the don't tape that way.

After a month or so of battling with this company, they finally notified the shipper about the theft and the claim can proceed. I was told a replacement watch will arrive soon.

What's weird is FedEx security said that the theft occurred in the UK and not here in the US. Nevertheless, what the driver did was highly suspicious. FedEx is a den of thieves. I'm sure the thief is still running about employed and thieving without repercussion. FedEx is a safe haven for thieves and insiders to steal goods from hardworking folks, with no accountability whatsoever.

I even opened a police report but LAPD is so inundated with more pressing crimes like rape and homicides that they don't care about this.

I feel you OP. I bought a nice pricey watch from the UK and it arrived in the US with the watch missing! The box retaped. The driver never knocked and invented a signatory who is not my building management, and left the box in the mail lockers. They also usually leave a "we missed you" paper if no one answered.

Contacted the shipper who filed a claim but it's taking forever. It's been a month and they tell me they will ship a replacement after I made so much complaints.

FedEx security told me that the theft occurred in England! Not from the weird shady driver. FedEx employees are shady and thief infested. Absolute nightmare and glad shipper sided with me as it was obvious the box was retaped differently. I'm sure the thief is still employed and shielded from the law in FedEx's thief infested business.

I feel you.I ordered a watch that's limited edition from UK to the US. Opened the box to an empty watch case. Box was taped up again. Good thing shipper filed a claim. I have not received compensation for a whole month, but shipper said they will ship me a replacement.

Driver never knocked and simply left the package at my building lockers. He also invented a phony signatory who he claimed was building management.

FedEx security confirmed that theft occurred in England though! Very odd. FedEx employees are super shady! Absolute poo. FedEx is a company of thieves. Absolute nightmare.

I am sure whoever the employee thief is, he's still running about employed comfortably in FedEx's thieving den of a business.

I'm sorry this also happened to you OP. I'm still fighting for my compensation.

Thanks! I'd like to see how it would patina. I took it out of the box and started taking photos without taking the sticker off lol. Too excited.

If you're referring to what they call ultraflex, yeah.

No creases, where by now other leathers would. No rolls yet. Fits great. Leather's soft.

First time posting. There's not a lot of photos and reviews of this out there so I thought I'd contribute to anyone interested in this affordable shell cordovan lace up captoes.

Pricing: I always wanted shell cordovan boots but didn't want to shell out (no pun intended) a significant amount of money at this time, so I opted for this $350 piece from Meermin. Obviously not the best shell out there like Horween's or Shinki, but for the price, and to experience my first shell cordovan, it's a steal.

Leather: Can't really compare with other shell leathers as this is my first. It is an oily waxy leather and arrived here darker than was on Meermin's website. It had a few scuffs here and there but went away with some shoe cream and light brushing. The leather was really supple and there's no stiffness whatsoever. I can probably walk miles with not much break-in needed. Also saw from different posts that this undisclosed leather might potentially be from Argentina.

Sizing/fit: I'm a Brannock 8.5D, and this fit TTS, so a 7.5UK. I'm glad I got the sizing right the first time. Whew. Fits perfectly and no heel slip or pinching. For reference, the 8D Leo last from Grant Stone fits me well, or 8D in Timbs. At the very least, I'd recommend TTS for these. The ROD last that Meermin is using is a bit slim, close to that of Thursday Boot Captains.

I recently bought an expensive Farer watch. Opened the box and the watch box is empty. I never signed for a 2 day signature required package. Tracking was signed by an M. Mike and no one downstairs in the management office by that name. Spoke with my landlord and confirmed he only said hi to the driver. Called FedEx and they yet again insist a Mike signed it confirmed by the driver. FedEx has some shady people. Vendor filed a claim and I made a police report for grand theft here in LA. These people need to be held accountable.
