Thursday Black Label Challenger
Maryam Natural Horsebutt Overdyed Black
Just picked up some blood-core kilties for the 2nd half of work dome. They're super supple but will need a little bit of break in so I can cinch my laces tighter again.

I've had my eye on a pair of PNW boots I could wear how I see fit, that would take the abuse, and look good while doing it. I'm an avid hiker in my free time and a brewer by trade. So this pair fit my needs and I happened to get lucky and managed to snag a pair in my size the day of release (09/26). I just got them in yesterday (10/14)
How I sized
Sized the same as my previous pair of boots from the same brand (2017 Captains). This last has a bit more room overall so they fit even better than expected.
Ordering process
These were part of the Black Label limited release and I placed my order the morning of release 09/26 with an expected 1-3 business day shipping. I did not get a shipping update until 10/10 after some back and forth with customer service and a $10 gift card. I was chatting with some others and they did not receive their boots at all, resolutions pending. Luckily I did finally receive mine on 10/14 and I honestly couldn't be happier. Gorgeous boot, well worth the wait!!!
