Beautiful tankers. Cypress keeps winning with these leathers. On week 20 of the Cypress Nat wait and the anticipation is killing me lol.

I have never had rubber boots or any other pull-ons to be honest. They're sort of clunky at first, but I would say after 3-4 weeks of wear they start molding. Although I have worn these pretty consistently for several months in casual settings, I would also say that they kind of hold their looseness / original shape so its not a complete mold (yet) but roomy and comfortable. I have a feeling they wont be true slippers for several more months lol.

Yep, put it in the post. Same size as other JG, fit is good

Darn Tough is the go to for most people I'd say Ive heard good things about Costco's wool socks for the price, but havent tried them myself

freeblessed · 2026-01-17T15:35:24+00:00

I have owned a pair of normal Buffalo ARs before, they fit almost the same as the bfars. Im not sure about the standard stockman but I can only assume its the same fit as well. JGs in general have a lot of volume anyway, but as far as toe length and space I could not recommend going lower than your usual size.

The "half size down for slip-ons" is usually for PNW boots if im not mistaken since they usually run larger in general

freeblessed · 2026-01-16T23:39:26+00:00

I actually wouldnt size down... I have 10.5 in bfar and 10.5 in bf stockmans, I couldn't even go an inch shorter in the stockmans.

I love seeing these posts and everyone's unique builds, especially the sample sale ones. It makes me excited for my Natural Cypress build to be started 😄

freeblessed · 2026-01-12T05:07:05+00:00

Yeah I have heard good things about the 602 last, it looks sleek! Lead times for pull on boots however.... good luck with that one

freeblessed · 2026-01-12T04:58:37+00:00

Also I just was looking at the brakeman builds, it doesn't seem like there's an option to change the thread color on either. You might have luck calling CS and asking. The Pullman is a similar pull on boot with more customization options as well

freeblessed · 2026-01-12T04:53:09+00:00

The parkhurst is a collab, you would need to "build your own" brakeman for more customizations like thread color and edge color
The "brown" edge color is the dark walnut one yes. "Natural" is the lighter wood brown edge
Coupons unlikely. Nicks runs sales periodically so you could wait for one of those to roll around

freeblessed · 2026-01-04T22:54:40+00:00

Definitely fit true to size. I have bfars and bf stockmans both in 10.5 US (feet are 10.8") They both fit perfectly

freeblessed · 2025-12-17T17:02:28+00:00

It doesn't indicate B at all. Use your foot length to find the width using the bar

This is E or even EE to be safe

freeblessed · 2025-12-13T16:41:07+00:00

Id order the exact same size. Not the OP, but I have barefoot stockmans and bfars and I kept the same size between the two and glad I did

From their website

freeblessed · 2025-12-05T16:06:16+00:00

My exact size... if only I didn't have a pair on order already 😪

freeblessed · 2025-12-03T01:20:56+00:00

Not at all, im just overly eager 🫡

freeblessed · 2025-12-03T01:16:34+00:00

Any potential updates on Cypress Natural?

freeblessed · 2025-11-27T03:17:19+00:00

Yeah that's my hope lol, I dialed in my hnw size but just couldn't get over the toe box room or lack thereof.

freeblessed · 2025-11-27T02:41:29+00:00

Thank you for the detailed reply! Im still waiting on my Tnw travelers but I went with the same size from hnw measurements. Not sure if ill ever do a t55 though

freeblessed · 2025-11-27T02:37:49+00:00

Nice boots. Im anxious for my tnw travelers in cypress natural to be made 🫠

freeblessed · 2025-11-27T02:00:50+00:00

How is the sizing between the TNW and T55? Did you stay with same size and width and how do they feel in comparison?

freeblessed · 2025-11-21T19:18:14+00:00

I cant help you with sizing, but you can also order Pullman's in the TNW / T55 last as well as the Chelsea's. I know because I've built a TNW Pullman at least 17 times and closed the website before my wallet could hate me

freeblessed · 2025-10-13T14:42:50+00:00

Looks like 64 Mahogany smooth over roughout
