Welcome To “The Bargain Basement”

I've heard good things about uniqlo's selvage denim. Not in the same league as your Fullcounts and Momotaros obviously, but very good for people curious to try the good stuff but who don't want to spend a fortune getting their feet wet. Good find, @Jennison.

My thoughts exactly. They're also great to wear without a worry.

Question ??
Are the tongues gusseted to the inside of the boots ??

Burt: This is from the Frye website:

Deviating from the Chelsea boot's signature side gussets, this pair from Frye offers a more traditional lace-up closure. This allows for an adjustable fit around the ankle. Crafted from full-grain leather, they're detailed with rawhide laces and precision stitching. The upper is made from soft, Italian leather that forms to your feet for a comfortable fit, while the leather sole with rubber inserts provides both durability and traction.

I took a look and it does appear that the tongue is indeed gusseted at the base. Not sure I know what I'm talking about though, so I took a photo.

Bought one of these. Think it's gonna be a cool thing to have, not expensive, the real deal.

Really cool - I spy some design elements taken from the L-2.

There's no way I could ever buy footwear without trying it on first. I guess you send back and forth until you get one that fits? Seems like a process.

Jackets ya, footwear no.
