@goosehd
Crotch shot indeed, well more leg than crotch
Went to a show at the fringe wearing jeans and the tent had no aircon and it hit 41.7 yesterday so the shorts got thrown on as soon as we got home
And today it’s back to being 23

I assume your in somewhere like South Australia with that temperature swing - the only time I’ve experienced that is in Adelaide.

Some Blue Note goodness.

@Tago-Mago They're such a great band, it's like being back in the 80s and first discovering Slayer. My copy will never get posted here though, it's on CD

@GraemeE I was so glad when this got re-issued. I'd missed it first time round. Love them.

Sad that these two bands have one thing in common, they lost their vocalists far too soon.

@derek111 Just wear it - I had a shirt that came with a cologne smell that didn't wash out but went with hanging and wear. A shame really, it smelt really nice!

@Tyler-Durden said in Role Club By Brian the Bootmaker:

However taking off with sweaty socks has never been too fun.

A boot jack makes taking off a tighter paiur child's play.

To answer your original questions

1. Sometimes
2. No
3. No, not issues, but they don't just slip off

My Skoob pair needed plastic bags and were really difficult for the first 5-10 wears then became easier. I still mainly use a boot jack to remove them. They are about as well sized as a slip on boot can get. My Boss have plenty of heel slip, I can take them on and off with ease with the straps done up, but they are also as small as I can go without them being too short.

The fit on the Skoob pair means I prefer them in general, but the ease of putting on and taking off means the Boss probably get used more, as a shitkicker boot.

@Oaktavia Congratulations! The best kind of random announcement.

@SKT said in OrSlow:

I had the guys at IHUK do a chain stitch hem on my 735 work pants…kind of spoiled me on all other hem types for pants. Just seems more robust? But that could be the kool-aid talkin’ and I’m sure either one would work fine Also I’m no help

Chain stitch is less robust to my understanding. Looks better though.
