it's the same slav retard with trashy euro milsurp, that was spamming the threads with sizing recommendations for cheap cowboy shit he found online without even checking if they'll even ship to him from the US like a complete clown
after that he was spamming for roper recommendations every day sort of as a running joke to distract from his retardation, shooting down everything that was over $200 or american, calling it ugly and trash
he got increasingly hostile as people stopped replying with actual recommendations and would just rightly ignore or tell him to get a job
and now it morphed into this
same posting pattern and hours, same need to get first reply in every thread, same need to get the last word in and reply to everything

coincidentally now the threads are spammed with obvious bait, samefagging, trashy euro milsurp and everthing american is cringe

I tried on a pair of Thorogoods the other day. Idk why, they just felt kind of cheap compared to the Danner's I usually use for work boots. They are in the same price range and I've heard such good things about the Thorogood moc's but the leather felt so plasticky to the touch like it had some kind of weird coating on it.

It looks very burgundy in the photo but irl they're like a dark brown, only a bit of burgundy in them.
They look more red indoors and in low light though.
In pic related they look lighter than they actually are.

I wear them with just about everything, navy, khaki (dark), mid grey, even some nice soft dark green cords I bought from cavour last year on sale.

I listed my Carminas for sale on ebay.
Great boots, bad fit for me.
Carmina mis-sized me, these were my first ever expensive boots. And it was from their "GMTO" section so no returns.

They're 650€ now but I paid like 400€ last year during a sale.
Listed them 180 + 40 shipping. Let's see.

Every time Cavour sends me an email about some product i always try to guess what the price is going to be and I always get it horribly wrong.

Anyway they have like -50% sales twice a year and it doesn't cover all items and I don't know if 750€ would still be a "deal" for a coat.

>> No.17929115

>>17929051
for a 100% cashmere, fully canvased, fully lined overcoat with handstitched button holes it is actually quite a deal
but it's an overcoat so it's designed to be worn with a suit jacket underneath, so if you intend to wear it as a coat by itself like in the pic the fit won't be good, in the wider sleeves especially

I was at a work dinner the other day and the guy sitting next to me chose not to give his coat to the waiters (big mistake when sitting next to me) and I accidentally dropped a knife coated with mash and gravy that landed on his coat (which was dragging on the floor).

Frank (owner of franks) and his mom/brother owned nicks for like 20 years. when they sold it frank stayed on as GM for a few years but didn't like how nigs was casualizing so hard (see: Reddit) and he quit then eventually said fuck it i like making boots and started Franks
listen to any podcast/interview/social media anything with the owner of nigs and compare to that of any media with frank and his wife and the difference is night and day
its funny tbhfam how redditards specifically sperg about muh history with nicks but franks is really nicks and nigs is now basically just beefy redwings they've changed so much about how they make boots
nigs doing machine lasting, got rid of the mckay stitch, talking about new patterns for the builder pros, their gay new brandle line of 1200-2000 dollar dogshit to compete with viberg (using their best builders so quality on the normal nigs boots continues to fall) casualizing everything to appeal to more redditards
