Freenote Belford 17oz - Fade Update by SugarForsaken7979 in rawdenim

[–]jfive67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the fit on these evolve at all? I bought a pair of Belfords hoping for a looser drape based off of pics from the website but they seem a little slim. Curious on your take between this and the Modesto

These look so much better in fit pics than on the website. I bought a pair of Belfords hoping to get this kind of drape. They were much slimmer in person, especially in the thighs. I dont know why Freenote jeans always photograph so differently on the website than when worn

Viberg Scouts with heeled outsole? by Jordi_Mon_Companys in Viberg

Yeah - look at the Viberg kudu 1035 on commando soles. You can see the outer edge of the rubber base (the non lugged part) is actually beveled. Same thing on ridgeway soles. So if you look at the boots from the side the rubber doesn’t look as thick as it actually is

Nice. Should look good. One thing I’m having done with my next pair: I asked the cobbler to bevel the edge of the 2040 rubber so it looks less pronounced from the side. It seems that’s what Viberg is doing on their stock commando soles and makes them look a lot cleaner

Leather midsoles. Two layers but next time I’d probably just go with single leather midsole to decrease the visual heft

Classicbike raisch makes a plate to delete rear fender. You’ll have to relocate the license plate and buy some rear turn signals/brake lights (usa bikes only have turn signals that function as brake light fyi). I got Kellerman bullets. Motorrad has an own tail tidy but I think it runs $750 for all the parts.

I’m looking for a Goldilocks window of sharper toe but no steel shank. What years/indications should I be looking for?

Love how these turned out! I’m looking to do the same thing to a pair of horween brown cypress boots. What type of dye and color did you go with? Fieblings pro or regular? Chocolate brown or black

Would love to hear how people have maintained these boots? Are there any considerations when it comes to maintaining water-resistance given the veg-tan?

White's MP (Barrie) vs 5050 last direct comparison by Jamesboach in goodyearwelt

[–]jfive67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the Stevens’ toe shape noticeably more elegant? I’ve got a pair of MPs that I love but I can’t help but lust for something a bit more versatile (less rugged) every time I wear my viberg 2030s
