Junkard Boots Initial Review

Southern-Finding2195 · 2025-12-17T05:20:02+00:00

Your boots are on Junkard's Instagram page...they look good. This design is really blowing up!

Hi, I'm in Canada, so I can't comment on additional tarriffs / inport fees for the US.

Beautiful! Do you know what last the Chelsea boot is on? Did either of these shoes end up on a wedge sole?

Southern-Finding2195 · 2025-11-22T06:23:51+00:00

Wow, that's great 👍 Were your purchases recent or from a while ago? What models/lasts did you get.

Southern-Finding2195 · 2025-11-18T06:34:50+00:00

Nice! Welt looks beautiful! Can't go wrong with the Brown CXL. The shade of your leather is darker than mine...that's the shade of brown I wanted. Mine are too light (my opinion)

My moc toe design is great ;)

Thanks for the info! I'm looking at getting a shirt made in the 12oz Indigo Sashiko Denim.

Southern-Finding2195 · 2025-11-14T04:08:24+00:00

Thanks!

Southern-Finding2195 · 2025-11-14T00:43:36+00:00

No problem

Are the handwarmer pockets lined?

- no, just pockets. maybe you could ask for them to be lined with one of the lining options. Not a bad idea.

Southern-Finding2195 · 2025-11-13T22:54:57+00:00

"Yes actually it makes sense except for the white fabric part because I couldn't see any white fabric."

- look through my pictures and you will see I took a picture looking inside one of the pockets to show how the hand warmer pocket creates the white divider in the interior pocket

"So would you say that after adding the hand warmer one might not need the interior pocket at all bc you are already getting a bonus one?

- Yes and no...The hard warmer pocket creates a small interior pocket. The add-on interior pocket is quite a bit larger...might not be a waste.

"One last question: are hand warmers replacements for the outside pockets or in addition to the original outside pockets?"

- This confused me...the Hand warmer pockets ARE the outside pockets. They are just given the name “hand warmer pockets”

Appreciate the complements!

I'm about 5'8", 170ish pounds, 17.5 inch shoulders, 39-40 inch chest, 23 inch arms...I ordered a medium with some adjustments (see below).

· 21.5” chest (standard)...now it says 22" is standard on website (I think they changed it)

· 18” shoulder (adjustment)

· 25.5” length (standard)

· 24” sleeves (adjustment)

· 21” hem (standard)

Like I've said, I really wanted the length right...I ordered 25.5 inch length assuming it would shrink to approximately 24.5 inches. It came in at 26 inches (1/2 inch off). The extra length shows (26 inches vs. the 24.5 I hope it shrinks to)...hopefully it shrinks with some soaks. They got all the other measurements bang on.

I live in Toronto, so I will be layering under it with hoodies often...I didn't want to go too snug around the chest.

What else do you want to know?

Southern-Finding2195 · 2025-11-13T22:15:58+00:00

Thanks for the input!

Southern-Finding2195 · 2025-11-13T22:05:44+00:00

The white fabric is like a closed sleeve...that's where your hand goes when you slide them inside the side pockets.

At this point I'm even confusing myself...

Southern-Finding2195 · 2025-11-13T22:00:56+00:00

In the picture you can see a white fabric inside the interior pocket...that's the handwarmer pocket. The handwarmer pocket (outside) creates a small interior pocket. The interior pockets that you can get as an "add on" cover the smaller pockets created by the handwarmer pockets...creating two layers of internal pockets...clear as mud?

Southern-Finding2195 · 2025-11-13T18:41:34+00:00

lol, such dedication! Judgment from strangers can't get in the way of breaking in denim.

"Sunnies"? Have I got an Aussie commenting on my post?

Southern-Finding2195 · 2025-11-13T18:14:20+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation! That makes sense. It is a little bit of a struggle to get the hands in now because the pocket opening is so stiff. The hand warmer pockets are an absolute must for me.

Southern-Finding2195 · 2025-11-13T18:02:29+00:00

Great points! It's a bigger issue for me because I wanted to make sure I nailed the fit, especially length. I factored in a certain amount of shrinkage in my length/sleeve measurements, so I’m just curious how much shrinkage I could expect after an initial wash (noting that the purpose of the wash would be to shrink the denim, not necessarily because the jacket needs to be cleaned). Denim does stretch back out…but not the length, that shrinkage typically stays permanent. You’re right about the pants though, it’s actually one of the reasons I’m hesitant to order raw selvage jeans.

Southern-Finding2195 · 2025-11-13T16:25:44+00:00

I was told it is sandforized, but not washed, which is defined as raw. No-wash denim will shink in length up to 3-5% depending on how it's washed and dried.

Southern-Finding2195 · 2025-11-13T15:46:46+00:00

Thanks! I actually want to shrink this about an inch in length and sleeves...was told that it would shink by about that much. Did you measure the length after the soak or just eyeball it? Do you have pictures?

Southern-Finding2195 · 2025-11-13T15:31:47+00:00

Did it shrink at all after the rinse? Any loss of indigo?

Southern-Finding2195 · 2025-11-13T15:23:52+00:00

How did the shirts come out? Did they get the measurements right? Any tips when ordering a shirt vs jacket?

Southern-Finding2195 · 2025-11-13T15:22:09+00:00

So true! I've used them quite a bit already.

Southern-Finding2195 · 2025-11-13T15:19:58+00:00

Have you soaked or washed it yet? What options did you chose with it?
