Hard wearing leather on a great looking boot.

I couldn’t be happier with these boots - they’re everything I envisioned + more. They feel amazing.
Al's Attire Hand Made Type 1 Service Boot in Horween Brown Chromexcel HorsehideBy LeeRoss • November 30, 2024"Since the day I started wearing these boots, they’ve been my go-to for everything except workouts. Whether I’m in the office, on job sites, or out and about, these boots are always on my feet. Comfortable, durable, and stylish—they’re perfect for every occasion. In fact, I got tons of compliments at the F1 race in Las Vegas last weekend...."Read the full review

Nicks x Rose Anvil ND3 in Horween Brown Waxed Flesh & Seidel 1964 Brown SmoothBy cjelliott • April 4, 2025"I work at a bakery and most of my working day is spent slinging drinks and serving food so my boots see a lot of chemicals, syrups, natural dyes like matcha and turmeric, and bleach. The lighter weight build has helped me keep up with the fast-paced environment and given me peace of mind when it comes to dropping drinks or things on my feet. I've taken the boots to the family homestead in the Raneer foothills, walked with the slugs and moose in the local wildlife parks, hiked with my dog Remi at the PNW famous Bowl and Pitcher trail and trenched through snow during the longer winter this year...."Read the full review
The last 6 months have been a blast! It has gone by way too fast. 🤙
White's x Division Road LTT Logger 375 in Horween Black Waxed Flesh & Horween Natural ChromexcelBy a1moyer • April 3, 2024"I wore this pair primarily for work as a UPS package car driver. 📦
I did wear them to church on the weekends every once in a while and did a couple hikes in Forest Park.
Portland is a pretty wet city in the winter so they saw a lot of rainy days and puddle jumping. They spent most of their time in SE Portland neighborhoods.
My supervisor crunched a few numbers for me and found that I *average* around 3500 deliveries/pickups a month.
That breaks down to about 175 stops a day, some days more, some days less...depending on the time of year and route. These boots were on my feet for most of those deliveries. They did get a short break during the snow/ice storm...needed to bust out the V100 soled boots for those days.
These boots have almost pure package car driver patina. 😂 In and out of the truck, driving from stop to stop, organizing/selecting packages in the back and making the deliveries. 🤙..."Read the full review
