Just picked up these Red Wing style# 8199. Haven't seen much mention of them, so I thought I'd snap a few pics. The leather, which RW calls "Hawthorne Driftwood" is pretty interesting. It's the most "raw" looking leather I've seen from them and this is the only boot I've seen use it. It comes lighter out of the box – these pics are after a coating of Obenauf's LP and I added some new waxed cotton laces. They should develop a nice patina. Here are pics:

thanks denimeric, here's my favorite pair. do pretty much everything in them:

Those might be about ready for a resole. Look comfy.
-
yeah they might be, but i'm actually weird about them & want to leave them a little while longer. they have helped me paint, move & mow my lawn for the past few years so they actually get worked in which is rare for me & my boots. think a resole might make them less comfy . . . yes makes no sense but true

All Christy soles should be resoled.

^ ah, seems a new troll has appeared on the forum in the form of the christy-sole-anator.
i thought we had that covered with injun with his feelings on cuffs & boots & me with my general random trolling behavior. glad to have you on board G$, i will continue to feed you christies so you can continue to share how much you love them with the rest of us
:-\ ::) -
In Giles's honor I resoled my Chelsea's because the original soles hurt my knees so much that I couldn't wear em. They look a little weird but I don't care. Most comfortable boots I own now.

Those are sweet Takeshi. Which model?

Any sizing advice on 2268s (circa PT83-PT99) from the IH fam? I've heard everything from TTS, half size small to a half size large…
I'm really really obsessed with these right now.
(Btw I'm a sz 10D tts- just sayin
)
