      I love them too, but the #23 last just does not fit my foot quite right. The toe box is supposed to be roomy but at the same time it's way too narrow? Make it make sense?? Also, idk what it is about the 875's but they keep getting mold in them! I have a pair of 8085's that have never gotten mold!

    I too am conflicted about Red Wing boots. I have two pair of them. I have a pair of vintage moc toes that I have worn a couple of times and then relegated them to my garage to decide if I should toss them or try to sell them. My short wide feet don't seem to work with the last they are made on. On the other hand, I have a pair of Red Wing hiking boots I bought something like 25 years ago that just do it (except in the summer).. I can walk in them all day. For summer, I have. a pair of Thorough-good moc toes that do in the summer what my Red Wing hikers do in the winter. From walking to drivint a tractor to riding a motorcycle, they just do it. So, I understand your conflict. If it helps, for what they do, I think Red Wings are overpriced in most of the niches they try to fill in the shoe market.

    Linen was a revelation to me. I always felt uncomfortable in the summer both in terms of how I felt and how I looked. Enter linen, the God fiber, suddenly I like summer, I look good, and it allowed me to finally embrace looser fits. I also bike 3 miles to work every day on the lovely 300% humidity Virginia weather, believe it or not, Linen basically looks steamed by the time I get to my destination.

    This is my favorite video of yours because I love that you made a whole video to get out some of the very specific personal gripes, observations, and just peculiarities that stand out to you in these "8 peices" but I assume is true of ever piece you have ever tried on. I feel like I relate to it so much, especially when you started talking about fabric types or weights depending on cuts and silhouettes and the moc toe boots. I assume it was this very level of "nit picking" and always saying "if only this jacket had the pocket liners of the other jacket then it would be perfect!" that probably lead you to start this chanel, even though most of your videos remain focused sticking to just a detailed review or history or education I feel like I see that it is the the mindset that this video has that all of the rest grew out of.

    I am also critical of the crepe soles that people like so much, for me Im more of a standard sole or sawmill style lug sole which is what you said. I got my Roughnecks redwings with the sawmill style lug sole because of that and they are my favorite boot. for me im an ergonomics X Style guy. the Lug sole roughnecks are the winter boot, the standard sole blacksmiths are spring and fall and cool summer, The Paladium canvas boot is my casual wear warm weather boot. I agree about linen, but i think that you just need to get the wash and dry cycle right with it, take the shirts out of the dryer after a few minutes and let air dry.

    I recently started updating my wardrobe after years of neglect and I got a lot of new clothes based on my "old" clothes sizing.
    Bad idea. Well it turns out those have just stretched to my body after years and I am not a 28 waist like I used to be but a 31, and smalls are almost always uncomfortable.
    Some of my old smalls tags and smaller waisted pants still fit, but lesson learned: I should not expect new clothes to fit like clothes with half a decade of being broken in.
    So yeah, check the measurement chart AND check your own measurements REGULARLY because your body fluctuates all the time, and your old clothes may adapt to those fluctuations. So off the rack fit is actually very weird and complicated it turns out

      No hate, but this seems like almost an extension of the same attitude. This is like the inverse of trend chasing. If you liked them at one point, but didn't want to get them to look like you are chasing a trend, you are still worrying too much about what you think it says about you. If you like something, get it. Wear it till you don't like it, don't worry about what other people think you are doing. I get it if you are waiting for hype to die down so that the prices are cheaper or the product is more available but whether people think you are chasing a trend shouldn't be a factor.

    How quick you changed your mind on the classic moc is how I feel on a daily basis with most of my closet... I have so much stuff for sale and as soon as someone wants it I 2nd guess whether I should sell it or not lol. But the wedge sole is one of my favorite soles and I think it looks great for the RW Moc. Considering I ride motorcycles the wedge sole is nice because it provides excellent traction on the pavement and pegs and it’s far more comfortable to walk in in urban environments.

    I decided that the best boot I could get as a Forester were a pair of PNW logger boots. I ordered a pair of Jobmasters from Wesco. After waiting a year they were still backordered so I bought a set of Franks Patriot's. They are very heavy duty boots and very well made, but they were brutal on my ankles. Over the course of a year I tried different lacing, pads, thicker socks, you name it. Every day I came home with ankles that were sore from all the pinching. I decided after that brutal year those PNW boots are just not for me. They are excellent boots for some, but definitely not for me. I went back to Thorogood boots and have been happy ever since.

    love the 8833's (moc toe in abilene roughout) if you don't want a big ass toe box, though, they def are not for you. there's other moc toes with smaller boxes if that's what you're into! I think either can work depending on the person's feet- 8833's definitely need to be sized correctly or they look like clown shoes!

CJ Cook has a few pairs of the "Cooper" mocs (23 last, 430 minilug) on his website. They strike a nice balance, in my opinion.

    I can see just by looking at it that the 3sixteen jacket does not fit properly. If you sized up it would've been even worse. It's already baggy at the waist and too tight in the back and chest, also the pits look too low, causing that effect of the sleeves pulling back and the bottom being lifted when you raise your arms just a little bit. This is common in cheap fashion pieces, not quality products. It does look good unzipped through, which is probably what they were going for when they made it.

    Red wing moc toe splits and looks bad. Not a fan of moc toes in general, unless its a slipper. Thorogood makes the better moc toe, unless you splurge for nicks moc pro. But ill skip and get a nice service boot or chukka.

    I had very mixed feelings when i bought my first pair of redwings a few years ago.
    Having lusted after them for years i was very excited as they were a very expensive purchase for me at the time.
    However i was incredibly saddened that they scuffed so easily ( got the oro version) and i didn't find them very comfortable at all. Plus someone made a comment that they look liked clown shoes and then i couldn't un see that.
    However throughout the years i have changed my ways and still have them and care less about scuffs and just enjoy wearing them now.
    They are a great boot but there's definitely some great others available too
