Had some epic thrifting experiences during my stint in Omaha, NE, from 2006-2014. Tons of Pendleton, Carhartt, vintage boots, and workwear. There’s a certain way that, when you get into a certain subject or item, it will manifest itself on your thrifting journeys. Back then, selvedge denim was just becoming a thing, and I got obsessive about finding anything Levi’s with a big E on it and thought I never would. One cold autumn day, I went out huntin’ and stumbled upon a gorgeous Type 1 Big E Trucker denim jacket. I’m sure I paid less than $5 for it. It was like finding the holy grail, and I swear the heavens opened up, and I could hear the angels singing. Wore that thing with pride for a couple of seasons and sold it on eBay for $400. Totally regret that, lol, but that was a great price back then! Having an adult career keeps me out of the shops a lot, but whenever I do get to pop into a thrift store, it brings back that early-20s “never-know-what-you’ll-find” feeling and puts a smile on my face. Being back home in FL, definitely not finding Pendletons, but I still can snag some vintage Ray-Bans or a piece of mid-century furniture. Keep hunting gents
I found a pair of Russell chukka mocs for $40 at a Japanese second hand shop. I actually didn’t even know they were Russell’s until I took them home. I only got em cuz they looked great and didn’t mind the price- obviously. They’re about a half size too big, so I gotta wear the right pants and heavier socks, but, man, what a find!
So good they fit you. I would love to see update of your experience of wearing them as you have both new, old owner new and this vintage pair. I think you will he able to give us incredible unique view in to the Russell stuff. Really happy for you
Awesome find! Probably a good story behind those, lost in donation. Found 2 pair of Redwings, one a Japan release. Wonder sometimes how they end up secondhand. Appreciate your channels!
I found a pair of Russel boots at a local consignment shop earlier last year for $30. They were my size and basically new. However I cant find another pair like them anywhere. I assume they were custom ordered because one foot is 9.5 the other is 9. I found a pair of redwing iron ranger x Indian motorcycle boots at the same store not even a week ago too. They were a bit more at $130
@darrenc3439 Dude, stop yapping lol 🤣! No one is forcing you to watch it. You can skip ahead. Weston is allowed to do whatever he wants in his videos, since it's his channel.
Im sure they had different last before, they look much more elegant and there is more waist. If they do im probably getting them even if i need to do year of payments on them
are we just going to gloss over the green screen of the shop lmao. I understand the point obviously, just thought it was funny seeing the fourth wall break
There is no good reason to cut those Russell's. Please keep them the way they are. I am into 8 weeks waiting for mine to get to me. I can't wait. Maybe do a video on putting new soles on them.
I just watched your Jim Green video. Now that you’ve cut a pair of those it’s time for you to cut a pair of the other African boot in half. the Courteney Selous boot. They’re much better than Jim Green.
@NoNameNo.5 His videos, his channel, he can do whatever he wants. You can fast forward videos too bro lol 🤣🤣🤣! Also, no one is forcing you to watch his videos.

A detailed restoration video of those RM's would be really good!
I just ordered my first pair of russels tonight, and now this video lol
Maybe come out with a leather cellphone case? And maybe a line of Rose Anvil branded boot/shoe care conditioners and waxes?

Where did you go thrifting, huckberry’s website?

I think this second channel is the perfect place to explore with more menswear content.

Sooooo awesome! Great find!
dont cut them
looks like I'll be taking a weekend trip to SLC at some point in the future 🤣
Just ordered my first ever pair of kilties, a pair of muleskinner to match with my Iron Ranger muleskinner.
I hope for the resole video of russels
Hello everyone. Does any have a recommendation from a Chelsea boot for a dude with a high instep. Thanks and dont cut these boots
When are the rugged troopers coming any updates for the December release?
Im sure they had different last before, they look much more elegant and there is more waist. If they do im probably getting them even if i need to do year of payments on them
You could do a Rose Anvil Builds video with them. I really miss new content on the builds channel.
Rose Anvil Builds video is my vote too
If you have a size 11 or 11 1/2 Russell moc’s I’ll buy them from you before you trash/cut them.
What’s the outro song?
are we just going to gloss over the green screen of the shop lmao.
I understand the point obviously, just thought it was funny seeing the fourth wall break
That's crazy!
What are you using to bring these back to life!? I’ve never seen that oil before!?

Love men’s wear.
Desert warrior get it right bro 😂
@ yup lol
Very disappointed weston is wearing normal socks and not artisanal linen canvas foot wraps.
lol turns out .."these are mine.."
I just watched your Jim Green video. Now that you’ve cut a pair of those it’s time for you to cut a pair of the other African boot in half. the Courteney Selous boot. They’re much better than Jim Green.
Don’t you dare cut those
5 minutes and 21 seconds you had to rattle on before the video? F that.
Please don't cut them. I'd love to see more about clothes
I'm leaving a comment.
Wanna see more menswear.
Wes, your rambling preamble is gay. Stop explaining
Stop projecting
You're a wimp lmao
@NoNameNo.5 His videos, his channel, he can do whatever he wants. You can fast forward videos too bro lol 🤣🤣🤣! Also, no one is forcing you to watch his videos.
