Ummmm.... Depends on the price you can get them and what matters to you. LHS vs Harvard.. I'd go LHS

@@jessupsays Alden Classic vs Crockett Jones boston Classic

Boston is the lined Harvard. Same same

@@jessupsays me podrias decir porque prefieres Los Alden por favor?

Couldn't agree more! I always think we should look to what our elders wear as they must understand the pinnacle of comfort. You clearly embody that fully! I can't wait to be old and wearing this same pair, just as comfortable.

Well thank you Jesus but it goes bye much faster than you think… LOL Keep doing what you love and wear those Alden’s you have a lot of time left to enjoy them… Seriously, no more comfortable boots I have ever worn…! I’m trying to make up for lost time with these Indy’s…. Enjoy yourself and have many great days…! Greg👍

I used translate. I believe I understand. Yes the Alden is more IVy American, the Crockett more British Ivy. They're very very similar. But the Alden to me is the most comfortable and that's what I'm advising you to do. Find the most comfortable, my guess is it will be the Alden

Hello! Firstly, I appreciate your time and your consideration. There's nothing like researching then purchasing! I hope that you've been happy with the outcomes so far. Always here if you have more specific questions! Great spotting, one of my favourite pairs from another Melbourne brand - namiman.com.au/products/military-trouser

@@jessupsays 네 👍 감사합니다 😊

I've never tried tap dance to be honest

@@jessupsays boots tap men

Hahaha 🤣 fair and true. All I can be is honest from my perspective. Glad you appreciate it

I appreciate the suggestion, crown seem to be a company who cares. Sadly being in Australia, a call is challenging, and an email seems a bit complainty. By the same token, ignoring the problem isn't the solution either. Appreciate your push! Best of luck, getting a shoe that fits properly is quite the experience! Haha 😆 I find most of us don't know until we know. Let me know how they fit!

Thanks for the reply mate. Enjoy the videos keep up the great work.

:O What is this?! No, thank you! I don't know the occasion, but I appreciate it very much.

Thanks! I apprecaite the comment and compliment. I would look at Grant Stone and Meermin! Let me know if that helps :)

I have only tried the Trubalance and the Van, and I got the same size in both> Hope that helps.

Both are lovely, I'd take both haha 🤣 but they're a bit different to my one. They're a bit more country styled vs my pair. But between them, I personally have always lusted after the Rosewood. There's something special about the way that leather ages. What are you currently thinking??

@@jessupsays . Your boots are more dressier and lovely in comparison to the Galways am looking at. Also loved the colour combination of yours. In terms of dress boots I do have the Charlton Balmoral boot from Crockett and Jones which I love. But had my eyes on Galway's for a while. Plus I am on a boot collecting journey right now. So am getting rosewood for sure as it's in making. Walnut country calf - am almost 90% there, need to convince myself for the remaining 10% :D only a matter of time. But the one which has slowly crept in my my mind is Galway boot in their nightshade antique calf London grain leather. Would look epic. thoughts? One can never really stop at one !

Thank you for saying so. I wanted something unique and dressy, which is what I got. But I can certainly appreciate the other designs they do haha. And other brands too! Enjoy the collecting journey! EG make a lot of really nice products, and the Galway is particularly iconic. And its really comfortable which is a bonus haha. The nightshade is very interesting, its got the purple tone to it. But i think the Country Calf would be more useful if you've got more casual styling. I think the Nightshade is on the sleeker last too? Maybe you get one country, one more sleek? Hahaha. Welcome.

@@jessupsays oh yes, its unique and dressy alright! l have tried the boots and they are comfy indeed. Yours is 82 last or 202 last? 82 is more sleek than 202 I believe. Have you built a good EG collection? I think one can always find use for boots, specially if darker colour :D for the sleek and defined, I lean on my Gaziano and Girling Thorpe boots.. dressy but can be dressed down too :D

Indeed, important to have a range of suitable footwear options right ;) Yes, the 82, and yes the 202 is a bit more 'English Country' as its a bit rounder and shorter looking. Perfect for the Country Calf/ any grained boot. I've just got these from EG, I've tried the Dover and a variety of loafers but never put one on that I really needed/ wanted to own. Except the Galway which I couldn't ignore. The G&G Thorpe is another lovely boot that I've often thought about hahaha. Maybe when I come North and get to London Ill come try things on. Never know!

Nothing springs to mind, but I don't know Sydney as well as Melbourne. If you want a store I don't know, for online I have suggestions

Thanks man! 🙏🏼 Doing my best haha they're a great dad boot, but I don't have to convince you haha 😆

I agree, anyone can wear an Adidas. They're a great looking and unique shoe. Especially in a sea of Adidas!

Fair question, I just prefer not to. Personally. I feel like hides are natural so I try treat them as such. Saying that, I trust saphir products

Agreed, very fortunate to have them locally to get my size right! And yeah thats true, I always keep an eye out for interesting pairs! But these ones really spoke to me.

Double Monk selling the shell ones for 2k aud... that's just to much

@@tommyinoz2100 I had noticed the recent price increases. And I have to agree with you, its too much.

Thank you, appreciated! Hmm, Colour8 can be a bit difficult to wear, though Aldens tends to be super dark almost black, with purple highlights so quite cool. A little less useful for my wardrobe. Dark brown is probably more useful/ the most useful, but I find that for lighter fits it doesnt look anywhere near as good as this light/mid colour.

Constructive comment?

Hmm... Probably a rubber sole with a bit of a lug or some grip on it. Will last longer and hopefully help you not be too slippery. Which leather and some flatter rubber soles tend to be

Not much I can do about the buttons, I personally quite like them. Agreed re cuffs, they're an essential part. Just looked at Barbarian, looks good, hard to source to Australia though, so a challenge I'm sure others will face. If I see them and I can buy them, I'll make sure to get one.

I don't understand the question

Which tabs? The pull tabs? You could, but would be very hard to get on and off haha 🤣

I don't want them riding up on dress pants and showing. If I decide to wear them with a suit. And there are lots of chelsea boots without pull tabs and people get them on fine.

@prabhdeepdhahan1147 well, good luck. I wouldn't, but they're your boots!

@@jessupsays I geuss I'll buy Allen Edmonds Liverpool Chelsea boots instead.

@prabhdeepdhahan1147 hahaha 😂 good idea! Buy the thing that suits you most. Don't follow the crowd.

Never late! I'm 174cm or there abouts :)

I regularly wear in the rain! They're pretty grippy to be fair. It's a nice rubber sole. The black pair are super usable, but I've really loved the something different of a blue suede. Haha sorry to be unhelpful on that front.

@@jessupsays Haha fair enough I'm just asking cause I've heard horror stories about people wearing suede shoes in the rain or in wet conditions so just trying to do a bit of research before picking up a pair so I don't get disappointed, also this pair feels super comfy straight out of the box right? Do you feel that there's not much of a break-in period compared to proper leather (if you have worn any leather shoes)? Thanks for the advice

@raghavchandran6462 I've not experienced any problems. Really low quality suede does not survive the rain, but the stuff adidas has used seems to be decent enough. And definitely no break in period like a leather shoe

@@jessupsays After much deliberation, I've decided to go with the black leather pair, simply due to it being cheaper than the suede one, how's the cushioning, like is it a shoe you can wear all day mostly or is it a uncomfortable shoe?

Fair enough! Good rationale, and yes I wear them for a full day with no issues at all. They're a comfy sneaker

Ok?

This is the way. May you love and wear your boots for many many more years and soles.

Thank you! Also, that's a very cool idea! I think I do that subconsciously already hahahaha 😂 keep things interesting. Appreciate the suggestion, I'll have a think about how to approach making a video about the topic!

Thanks for the comment! The pebble grain is so versatile, and will last forever! A great shoe. Wear them in good health

Appreciate the comment! I've tried them on a while ago, but I can't remember what I thought about them. I think theyd be much better than their standard offering though!

@@jessupsays I was waiting for a sale but Uniqlo is running low on the stock so I was forced to run and get it today :)) Since we're talking about chino, I've been to Informale shop in Melbourne and tried their chino. As a guy with large glute relative to waist (my tailor told me I have a bum of size 34 while my waist is 32), I found that Informale's chino is really small in the bum if I pick the correct waist for myself, while Uniqlo JW Anderson's one is a perfect everywhere. How do you feel about El Jadida's fit in the bum relative to Informale's?

@barinyasere3418 interesting 🤔 I have a similar issue and found their chinos work for me. When I'm home tomorrow I will try them on next to each other and see for you. Shoot me a message on IG? I can share photos etc

Glad you liked it ☺️

A lot of love for Ian Harold coming out of the UK! And from the HOME of footwear. Very cool to hear it.

I think if you think that, you're probably right. And if they were my shoes I'd probably feel the same way. Dark brown is very versatile and easy to wear, it's classic not flashy

Also, I think we share same views about the derby and Oxford. Thanks

Hahaha 🤣 a fair opinion to hold I think 🤔

Mmm. Hard to argue with that. Sadly they're not offering good value anymore, or insane quality. Just made in Australia, which for me was enough, but with the costs now. Maybe not. I've heard Ian Harold offer a potentially better made in Australia options, worth a look.

Hahaha I agree. At this point this shirt has moved onto my brother. Hard to know ordering online though

@@jessupsays yep.. I miss the days of going in store and trying on clothes before you buy.

@@treydee8442 The good old days!

These are extremely straight, measured straight. Are you saying they were more of an external taper like a boot cut in those early days?

I truly appreciate your comment. I need to take time to digest it and reply! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

@@jessupsays Also a question to you: Is Berg and Berg's only inferior to Informale's OCBD due to the hand sewn details or are there other aspects as well? I have a few pants from Berg & Berg from their Winter 2023 collection and I was massively impressed by their quality and fit. Given they do 50% after every season, their shirts will be less than half the price of Informale's so I'm considering grabbing one at the end of this season. Also given the massively lower price of Spier and Mackay, how does the quality of their shirts match up to Berg and Berg?

@barinyasere3418 lots of good questions! I will reply to the best of my ability with my thoughts once I've written them !

Thanks again for your comment. I agree with a lot of your points. Mostly to the effect that hand sewing seems like a nice to have not a must have. Except where it comes to the fit and design of the garment, I agree. It's something you and I might share a wink over, but mostly not needed. The Informale shirt is hand cut which means the shape and body is there. So that is a tangible different. But to what price you're willing to pay, is up to you! And I'm sure you will one day as you say. As for berg, from the sounds they are similar to Kamakura. Maybe slightly more ivy? I really rate and enjoy mine. There is a review of it somewhere. But it gets equal love as a daily ocbd. My Informale is still the best at being ironed for a suit, but excluding that. They're both amazing ocbds. And yes I'd pick one up if you can. You won't be upset I don't think 🤔

@@jessupsays Hey Sam, thanks for your reply. Love your content!

Not the only comment to the same effect. Are you UK-based? It seems Ian has good cut through there, how are you seeing them? Here in AUS, people are patriotic toward RM, but it's also an 'easy' purchase. A well-known brand that people know and 'is quality'. Maybe like Trickers used to be in the UK? I would think IHarold would have a lot of trouble cutting through that.

@@jessupsaysyes , I'm in Northamptonshire borders 20 miles away from Crockett and Jones and Trickers. An Aussie mate told me about Ian Harold he said Australia best kept secret, I had two pairs of RM Williams one tan, the other brown, they were okay but I certainly wouldn't rave about them like some do, and have a cult following in UK mine made stupid money on eBay. As far as I'm aware there's only a few stockists of Ian Harold in UK loads stock RM Williams, I was lucky picked up the Ian Harold on eBay new, unwanted gift, had them two years now and worn them loads, with minimal wear. incidentally I own several pairs of Trickers, 3 Henry, Burford and Stow and a couple of pairs of C and J my personal favourite the Coniston rough out suede boots.

@@richyclubsport5155 Thanks for sharing. I'd been very curious how it was spreading! As I said, It's not done similarly here. Best kept secret indeed! I'll have to save some money or sell some boots to maybe get a pair and shed said light on them! I agree, a suede pair (review coming soon) is my favourite pair of boots right now for sure!

Good suggestion! I've done that on the exterior a few times, but not internally. Worth a shot! I appreciate the comment!

No question, Uniqlo

Apologies for the delayed reply on this and your more recent comment! I have a newborn which has been demanding my attention. I couldn't agree more, suede and roughout are the perfect wet weather material and it does look so good with some hard wear! Especially waxed roughout.
