Shinki Black Teacore Horsebutt
John Lofgren
Wabash Engineer Boots
Standard & Strange
I had a chance to do a custom pair with John Lofgren, and I wanted to make sure I made sometime unique, yet not over the top, that would age gracefully. I love how The Real McCoys used contrast brown stitching on their black Buco jackets, so I went with that. Edges were left black so they would scuff to brown. White outsole stitching was used to make ‘em pop, and give visual shape in the absence of the usual Lofgren storm welt. Finally, Shinki Oiled horsebutt was a leather I couldn’t resist.
Wide because I’m a wide boy
