@Daniel-San I would say yes, it shouldn’t be a problem but need to confirm some things first. @jimcasey Would you be good with August instead of July?
We can try and fit @Daniel-San into the slot between @doubletee and @jimcasey
@Daniel-San Would that work for you (tentatively)?
Here is the current list/schedule:
Ok, here’s what I got and I’m going to ask everyone to stay on schedule.
@WhiskeySandwich - March
@Mizmazzle - April
@goosehd - May
@doubletee - June
@jimcasey - JulySuits me better to make it August as it happens. It's the only really cold month in Sydney (which is still pretty warm compared to the conditions my European comrades live with).

RE: Show us your boots
@Brian feeling your pain man.
For what it's worth though, Corlection is a bit of a punish. I never shop there. As regards Sydney shops Blueworks is worth supporting. Lovely bloke and good selection of gear.
But otherwise, hit me up if you're in Sydney for a beer or two yeah?

RE: Show us your boots
@Mizmazzle said in Show us your boots:
@jimcasey that’s a tough scenario to be in. Don’t have any Red Wings? If you have your sizing down in Red Wings you can get a really solid idea of your correct size in other boots. Then you could feel a bit more comfortable taking a risk. Maybe on a used pair of something nicer you fancy…less risk. Then once you’re sizing is established you could really go hog wild!!
It's more making sure that the shape of the last suits rather than size per se, if that makes sense? There's a joint in Melbourne that have imported Whites engineers in the past - hopefully they'll get some new stock at some point.
Used is an option too. As is the cowboy route - I've always been partial to a decent pair of roper boots.

RE: Show us your boots
So many beautiful expensive boots here I thought I might lower the tone a little.
No one sells decent engineers here in Australia, and with the exchange rate it becomes a bit of an expensive gamble buying without trying. So my default is the classic "Australian work boot".
The bashed up pair is Blundstone. The fresher pair is Rossi (the better brand imo).
Cheap, and bullet proof. I use mine for everything from bushwalking to going to the pub. Only downside really is that they are useless as motorcycle boots, as they slip off far too easily.
They'll do until I finally get me some Wescos.

@jaliskoe good to see the workwear being used as it should.

Crosspost from WAYWT. Arrived today, and the colour is exactly as I imagined it. Really happy with this.

RE: IRON HEART WAYWT - 2024 EDITION
My IHSH 353-red arrived! Missed out on the first run, happy to have picked it up now. Looks ok I reckon.
Paired with SBGs and a pair of Blundstones.

@sabergirl Just when I thought I couldn't dig this community any more than I already do I find out you're a librarian (excellent socially useful trade), and that Endo gives away anti-fascist stickers.

RE: IHSH-285-PIN - 5.5oz Selvedge Chambray Short Sleeve Work Shirt - Indigo
@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot pity I didn't realize earlier you were in oz. Would have been good to have a couple of beers with a fellow afficionado if you had been around Sydney at any point.

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot Yamba is an excellent spot. You live up that way?

@goosehd said in The Mad Red Motherf**ker World Tour.:
@Mizmazzle should come before me to keep it in The US so it’s not back and forth across the border. @doubletee is supposed to be after me.
Makes sense to me.
I'm pretty relaxed about the whole thing. Only real issue for me is season. Would be pointless to get the jacket for a Sydney summer - I'd never wear it. If possible can my leg be in the Southern winter?
