Ah yes, my Saturday morning breakfast tv. Really nice boot collection.
Glad you enjoyed it
All great boots ,Barker Calder top bollox 👍🙏🇮🇪
Love the Clark’s chukkas! Now my go to casual boot. Thank you for the recommendation!
I had clarkes wayfinders...compass in the heel..
Always handy if I got lost on the way home.!
Your videos scripts are some of the most pleasant and well thought out narratives of similar style videos
I'll let you into a secret - I don't really script the videos I do - most are just me talking opff the cuff. But I am delighted that you enjoy them!
Those Loake Burfords in burgundy are really nice. Envious! I have some Loake Caligula boots. They make any outfit you are wearing, even a pair of jeans, look debonair!
Loakes It’s possible to have the soles repaired replaced with Dainite or Comando or indeed leather. Many times
Nice video, thank you so much!
Glad you liked it!
Ive been complimented on my footwear only twice - one of those was a pair of Loake Burfords.
Despite having Church, Alden etc in my collection, it was my Loakes that got the love.
Excellent all-around collection! Love these Loake boots.
I have two pairs of Barker Calder boots myself. Best shoes I’ve ever had in my life! Not cheap, but money well spent!
Quality items rarely are cheap - but I don't mind paying good money for good items!
A nice collection, a braver man than I with the blue pair. I have quite a few pairs of Loakes, my Gatvombe Chukas are close to ¹5 years old and are still getting compliments. Waiting on delivery of a pair of Bedales.
I’ve been keeping an eye on eBay for brogue boots.
Great collection sir
Thank u 👍
Great showcase
Clarks are the only shoes I remember wearing growing up in Hong Kong in the late 1950s to 1960s.
Love the Burford's. Charles Tyrwhitt sell a similar boot in black and brown. Sadly not burgundy though.
the herrings are very nice.everyone wore those desert boots when I was a teen (late 60's- 70's).- and all go nicely , with a rolex. ~. JDS/CT. be safe
They will be around in a 100-years I suspect.
I'm the same in summer, the Clarks Desert Boot is the only boot I wear.
They are the kings of the desert
Love the Loake boots. I have just purchased a pair of Allen Edmonds Oxford Brogue boots. Little more dressey though. I too wear desert boots in the summer. I just watched you review on Barbour. I have three Barbour jackets one I have had for 30 year's. I bird hunt in my Beaufort. Thanks for sharing. Cheers Ron
Glad you enjoyed the review. Good luck with the new AEs, I hear that they make a sturdy boot. Best regards, Ash
I succumbed this weekend to a pair of black Loake Chukka boots on sale. It's an illness, I tell you.
But I don't think that I want to get better 😁😁
I’m suffering the same malady!!
I have stopped wearing chukkas that have two lace holes as they never feel tight and squeak when you walk .
My advice is look for chukkas with three lace holes like Jim greens also they are rough out not suede .
Excellent information!!!
Glad you think so!
Nice boots the burgundy pair is also my favorite, I'm a boot guy myself and prefer boots over shoes for suits. I must say I'm surprised an English chap such as yourself doesn't own a pair of Chelsea's. I'm also looking to get a pair of Jodhpur boots for myself.
Fantastic overview! I must say that those chukka boots look very similar in last and make to my loake 1880 kemptons... Keep the high quality videos coming, I would like love to see a similar shoe wardrobe review in future! Thanks again!
I will certainly do a show video in due course, a bit more of a task there, as I have a fair few more pairs of shoes, but I'll try and do it soon.
Loving the videos recently Ash, might I recommend William Lennon & Co if you haven't already heard of them. They make traditional handmade work boots from their workshop in the Peak District for a reasonable price considering the quality, I bought a pair of their 178 tan leather boots (sadly unsuitable for the width of my feet) and they were a pleasure to look at and handle.
Thanks for the tip - I've just checked out their website, some interesting footwear there.They have some boots you can kick a wall down with!!
Thanks for drawing my attention to William Lennon, as I had never heard of them before. I bought a couple of hobnailed boots from 'Hoggs of Fife' some thirty years ago which had given me loyal service ever since. Only recently, when moving houses, much to my chagrin, they somehow vanished along the way.
I tried to get them from Hoggs again, but they don't do them anymore. And suddenly here, at Lennon's, I found exactly the same pairs - only slightly more expensive than they were 30 years ago. Thank you!
Thank you for this boot review I really have fallen out of love with Clarke's along with Doc M's both quality is slipping and made cheaply abroad. Loake, Ive had some mixed experiences. Crocket and Jones for Chukka and dessert boots are excellent Also for more work style William Lennon are go to hand made, to order and will out live me ! For something more quirky try Noble and Wylie
Clarkes are inferior aside from a few rare exceptions (Craftmaster & Desert Boots). Loake is serviceable as long as you stick to the 1880 range, which are tip-top for the price and usually available at very modest prices. I only recently became aware of William Lennon and they sound amazing - I'll definitely be exploring that route soon. Not heard of Noble & Wylie - I look forward to finding out more about them. Thanks for the tip.
@@TheChapsGuide thanks for the advise on Loake ranges About 2 years ago i decided to try and buy as much made in the UK attire as possible I have been very surprised after a little searching how much there is out there and some really great products. From work shirts Emma Wilis shirts to HebTroCo jeans maybe an idea for a video?
Great idea indeed. I also try to take a patriotic stance when making purchases, not easy all the time, but a worthy endeavour. I'll definitely give it some thought for a future video.
@@TheChapsGuide happy to provide you with a list of ones I have used
Have you thought of Red Wing IronRangers, or Blacksmiths? Nice boots, rugged, and look good with denim, chinos or khakis.
I have looked at them, but whilst they appear to be great utilitarian boots, they are outrageously expensive for what they offer. £300+ is Cheaney money and the level of footwear is not remotely comparable. Also, whilst they would look great for a welder working at the Harland & Wolf shipyards of 19th century Belfast, they look over engineered and too basic in modern daily use for an intentionally well dressed man. Just my personal view though!
Amazing boot collection you have 🔥🔥🔥loving you're chanel keep up the great work 👍
Thank you! Will do!
Did you bull those boots up with little circles and cotton wool 😂🤣. Fond memories
Oh yes - those old habits never die. I quite enjoy doing it to be honest - cathartic end to the day!
Nice
Thanks
Clean and shine the sole arches. If its good enough for the Guards, and Queens Colour Squadron, its good enough for us, right ? ;)
Now you are talking about a whole new level of shoe care commitment. I love it!!
Ha, first! (don´t know why people do this, but here I am!) More importantly great video! I also love Autumn for the clothing options and am currently waiting for a pair of Chukkas in bordeaux Scotchgrain. Cheers from Austria!
Good luck with the new boots, I love a nice scotchgrain leather and chukkas are possibly the most versatile boots ever! Should have you covered for a myriad of situations.
Hello Ash, enjoying the chanel keep it up. I've recently had a rush of blood and splurged on a pair of Trickers stow boots..time will tell if they are value for money but they definitely look the part. How about a piece on leather coats/jackets ?
Ive never owned a pair of Trickers, but have heard good things. I don't presently own a leather coat. I have have owned many in the past (80's and 90's) but its an area worth exploring. Good luck with the Trickers, they will see you right for a few decades.
No Trickers stow boots?
Not sure if you’re still answering questions…
What cream did you use on the tan Burfords? I have a pair that is very tan whereas yours are a much nicer, warm brown.
Thanks
Oh, I also have the burgundy Burfords, though not mirrored.
And the Ariats haha… 😄👍
I use the light brown Saphir cream on my Burfords, or even neutral if seeking to maintain the original colour. They do darken over time due to all the polish and additional stresses caused by daily wear.
@@TheChapsGuide excellent, thank you.
Greetings,
Which boots, fully brogued, with a squared toe cap, if possible in burgundy, under 400$, would you recommend?
Sincerely.
Hard to argue with the Loake 1880 Burford at that price. Aim a little higher and consider Cheaney for an even better result.
Some really nice looking boots by crocket & jones at around £500 would you say they are worth that price ASH?
Oh yes. C & J are some of the best out there.
Oh yes. C & J are some of the best out there.
Hi ash, need your suggestion, i am deciding between pebble/country grain leather and smooth calfskin chukka boots, which is more appropriate for casual and every day wear? Thanks
Personally I would go for pebble grain. It looks more relaxed and definitely will look better between polish sessions. I have a pebble grain chukka myself and it just gets better every year.
@@TheChapsGuide thanks!! Good point
Another great video. Thanks. I particularly like the Ariat. I hope I spelled that correctly. I’d be curious to hear your thoughts on the New Loake Roehampton boots. Have you had a look at them? Also, how do you feel about breaking in some of the stiffer Loake products? Thanks in advance...... (from Canada)
I really like the Roehampton boot, I'm a fan of grained leather, as it looks great in most semi-formal situations and casual as well. The Roehampton has a wonderful retro-classic look to them and should transcend fashions for many years. A great investment - I also do like their victory sole. A bit more chunky than the Dainite, but certainly more rugged and appropriate for Canada.
@@TheChapsGuide thank you kindly.
Do you like Chelsea boots Ash?
Not as much as chukka boots. But they are great for casual situations
Do you think the Loakes would be fine to wear with a formal kilt?
Absolutely - just so long as you omit the mirror shine (don't want what's under the kilt reflected in that mirror shine).
Have you got any tips on getting salt water stains off shoes ?
Personally, I would mix a small amount of vinegar with some warm water and scrub gently with an old toothbrush. That should dispel the staining permanently. The slightly acidic water/vinegar mix will dissipate the salt deposit with no risk of marking your shoe. After it has all dried naturally, treat the area with some conditioner (Saphir Renovateur), some shoe cream to restore any lost colour and polish as normal. Not to worry, it happens all the time in the UK thanks to the salt which is applied to the winter roads, or indeed just from the salt in one's natural perspiration.
