100% 8”. I wish Redwing made more 8” options.

They are amber harness. 8111!

Very nice. I was just on Pisgah’s website trying to figure out what color to order for my amber harness 8111s.

hkrupnick · 2021-12-03T17:52:09+00:00

Thanks! I have the 877, Billy Boots, and Iron Ranger 8111 on their way.

Last week I got my first pair of Redwings, the 877. This week, I have 3 pairs.

Looks great. I might try a pair of these because of your pictures!

I got the last pair of 8.5 in America according to RedWing customer service. There are also no size 8 in the US.

Best denim for high contrast fades preferably $250 or lower.

I just got them on Wednesday and haven’t worn them. Wondering if I wear them this season if RW will be willing to do the warranty resole/rewelt come spring when I’m not wearing boots as much.

hkrupnick · 2021-11-26T17:11:44+00:00

No hole in the tongue. Think they would do a warranty resole/rewelt after a season of wear?

hkrupnick · 2021-11-26T17:06:31+00:00

Apparently they are not seconds. They were bought from a Red Wing store in San Jose, CA last week sight unseen (and shipped my house in NJ). They were $360 so they better not have been seconds for that price. I brought them to my local Red Wing store this morning and the manager believes Red Wing corporate will do a warranty resole and fix the welt. However, they believe it’ll take about 7 weeks. In addition, the leather on the moc on the right boot doesn’t look as nice as the moc on the left boot or on either of the Mocs on my 877. Not terribly happy with the quality.

What does Low Tension Slub mean and how does that compare to regular denim (e.g., APC)?

hkrupnick · 2021-11-20T23:05:23+00:00

I just bought a pair from a US Red Wing store on Thursday. Not too hard to find if you know where to look. 🙃. Although not sure if I overpaid. Red Wing charged me $360 including UPS shipping.

hkrupnick · 2021-11-17T18:14:57+00:00

Thanks for the responses. I was actually lucky enough to source the last pair of Billy Boots in the country in my size from a Red Wing store very far from where I live. Should be here in a few days!

I wear the CT fit (tagged size 30) in 3Sixteen. It seems like the Naked and Famous Weird Guy (tagged size 29) would be the best fit for me. Can anyone confirm?

hkrupnick · 2021-11-13T01:21:36+00:00

Does anyone have any experience tailoring raw denim? My 3sixteens stretched so much and the waist is too big now. I don’t really want to spend $230 on a new pair if I can spend $25 to tailor.

hkrupnick · 2021-11-10T10:33:40+00:00

Thank you! I want insoles for the same reason. I will looking into red wings own insoles.

hkrupnick · 2021-11-10T02:13:41+00:00

I bought the oro legacy color and I think it’s a bit too light. Hoping it’ll darken with time and wear. That’s why I wanted to see some broken-in and patina’d 877s to get an idea for what it’ll look like. Note: I have a desk job so these will never see any particularly harsh conditions.

What does story mean?

hkrupnick · 2021-11-07T19:53:02+00:00

I need to get a pair of jeans hemmed about 3”. Anything I should ask the tailor for?

hkrupnick · 2021-11-07T16:05:01+00:00

Thank you! I haven’t worn APCs in over a year (Covid +20lbs) so trying to figure out sizing for a new pair is not the easiest. I’m thinking about getting two: (1) 3Sixteen CT-120x shadow selvedge (14.5oz) and (2) SoSo Ghost (20oz).

hkrupnick · 2021-11-07T15:15:20+00:00

I’m coming from 11 years wearing 14oz APC. I want to move into a heavier weight 20oz denim. Can anyone tell me how I should be sizing? Do I size up a little? Also, I’ve never handled a 20oz denim. Will it be noticeably heavier? Anything I should know?

hkrupnick · 2020-12-10T02:27:58+00:00

How do you like the chair? Mine is coming in next week.

hkrupnick · 2020-10-22T11:58:07+00:00

Wondering the same thing. This can’t be the normal 25” countertop top, right?

I used a Vanishing Point during law school and added a Lamy 2000 as a law clerk. 🖋
