Q: Does anyone have any experience with the Buzz Rickson M-43 Service Boots? I'm referring to their take on the Steve McQueen "The Great Escape" boots. I'm curious as to thoughts on fit, level of comfort, etc.
Any thoughts/impressions are greatly appreciated!
FWIW, I'm a belt on the outside of the patch guy too…

@Qinhan, I had a pair for a while, I really liked them. the fit/sizing was a bit tricky, they're built on the Munson last so the toe box is pretty wide, and in fact I fit in to a 9.5 instead of my normal 10.5. I would recommend sizing down 1/2 size at least.
The fit in general was comfortable, I would compare thefitlevel of comfort to Viberg service boots.
Here’s a pic of mine when I decided to sell them, I made the “mistake” of dubbing them and I didn’t like the result. I wish I would have kept them natural.
-
No experience personally but I know Standard & Strange also recommends sizing down 1/2 size from Red Wing size.
-
Cheers @Boyo That’s really helpful. So basically size the same as 2030 last Viberg service boots or are you saying another size down from that? I’m an 8 in Viberg which is about one size down from my regular sneaker size.
These boots are marked E width which I guess by Japanese standards is reasonably wide, as you noted.
Nicely beaten up pair you have there, even with the extra dubbing.

Oh? I didn’t realise standard and strange stocked these. You’re not thinking of the John Lofgren m43 boots are you?

Actually @Qinhan, I think you should size down from your Viberg 2030 size at least a 1/2 size. I wear a 10.5 in viberg 2030, and I fit in the Buzz 9.5 ( a 10 might have been better, but I never tried that on)
price aside.. I think the lofgren version would be my pick

What's up everyone. I'm a long time lurker and have finally decided to pop my IH cherry, as such í decided to also finally make an account on the forum.
I'm mainly interested in the 777 based on the measurements, one measurement gives me pause, which is the back rise. Can anyone speak to their experiences with this cut and whether the back rise has been ok for them or if the crack is on constant display? I've searched everywhere and cannot find too much info on this for whatever reason. Most of my pants are 14-15 in back rise, where the 777 back rise is 13 in my size (31). Any insight anyone can give would be greatly appreciated!

It sits low but at least on me not as low that it shows parts of my lower back no one wants to see, but I think that really depends on your body shape, I am wearing 31 too.

Missed your response earlier @Qinhan. S&S does carry M-43's. If they don't currently have your size I believe they can easily special order.

@paxmadam back rise has never been an issue for me. My pair is a 29.

OK IH ladies… My sis in law wants some warm/ heavy jeans... She's petite, doesn't know her size (I told her to measure her best fitting jeans), but I also don't really now where to start...
They don't have to be Iron Heart, but they also don't have to be dirtcheap... So just link me up to all you can think of...
Reminder: WARM... She's from Iran and HATES cold weather... Everything under 20C° is basically cold... So preferably anything lined with grizzly feckin bears...

alright so here goes. i've no idea what's causing these little holes in my tee shirts. i've started to notice they are becoming more apparent among quite a few. i'm inclined to say that it's (moth or silverfish?) not sure what those things are called that eat your clothes in your cupboard/drawers?
but coincidentally, they're only in the front which made me think that it could be my belt. however, i highly doubt my belt would be sharp enough to cause something like that.. so what would be the solution? also, i hate the smell of mothballs and such with that weird smell they cause in the cupboards after awhile..

Could it just be natural wear n tear?

My guess is critters. They only go for the things you like. A zegna suit for example..
