@davito:

How did you size @grandmasterben ? They are amazing arent they?

Yes they are amazing Christ these things can survive an apocalypse. Can't wait until the sides stretch out a little.

I am true US 9.5 brannock on my largest foot (only a little longer than my left one) and took a 9 in these.

Completely good in toes, instep, but a little tight on the sides. I think it's already stretching out.

Out of the box, lofgrens win easily for comfort. We will see about these

Thanks guys!

Anyone have recommendation for boot jack? Guessing I need a really long one… It'll work ok for engineers? I know usually it's for dress shoes.

A boot jack works externally for removal…are you by chance looking for a boot/shoe horn?

[grandmasterben]

I definitely don't know what I'm talking about… I am looking for a boot jack.

About to pick one up now!

For reference, this is a boot jack

This is a boot/shoe horn

Holy crap. Just got a boot jack, seriously saved me so much time. Takes 5 seconds to get them off.

[jdl1279]

Sweet, they can be nice to have for a trim boot. I have an old cast iron scarab somewhere.

Sounds great @grandmasterben thats the spirit about horsehide, just break it in and enjoy, you'll get some nice individual graining and shaping over time. I still find these much easier to break in compared to my viberg horsebutt which took me over a year to shape.
The Lofgren is superbeautiful too probably my next after some time.

interesting result. Am I the only n00b here taking boots of by hand?

[jdl1279]

Don't usually use a jack myself snowman, but they're good to keep by the door for quick removal if you don't have a spot to sit. They also make removing a boot with tight counters a lot easier

And great when your boots are filthy…..

Glad to know it's not some must-have thing I've been doing without all this time ::)

Congrats Ben! Enjoy them!

[grandmasterben]

Horsies made to gallop for life :). Am sure you will. Look forward to many updates!

New to the forum…Really interested in an RMC Buco J-100, about to pull the trigger, just nervous about the upper arms being too tight, any feedback from current owners would be appreciated! Would hope to at least be able to wear a thin sweatshirt or flannel under it...Also, is the size chart at SuperDenim very accurate?

Thanks!
