During my wife’s and I’s honey moon through the PNW, I decided to pick up these jeans! I heard so many great things about Graph Zero and their fabric so I decided to stop by Blue Owl Workshop (since not a lot of shops carry them in the Bay Area) and grabbed these. I’m super pleased by the details of these jeans from how slubby they are to the fit. Anybody else have experience with this brand?

Ordered these back in February by visiting the shop and actually getting fitted (since I have bad history with MTO online from Indonesia)

I’ve always wanted to get a pair of boots with Carlo Badalassi leather in this olive color due to visually examples of the patina go from green to brown.

Willy was such a cool dude as he walked me through what to expect, what last he recommends, and the list of customization he offers. My favorite part is that it’s affordable, the price came out to be $333.44.

Once we confirmed everything, Willy said to expect a 3-4 month wait which was perfect because I had a flight back to the Philippines in June (I visit quite often lol). Once I was there I was able to pick them up with no hassle.

Out the box the boots were stiff and sturdy. The stitching looks solid and the color is beautiful in person. As I’m breaking them in they’re starting to become very comfortable.

Stats:
Leather: Badalassi Carlo Oliva Minerva
Model: Pioneer lace to toe
Last: S4 flat box
Sole: Dr. Sole half sole Supergrip
Heel: Woodsman heel

Bought these off from grantstone loafers from ebay, after several wears they the right shoe has been creasing differently. Any thoughts to fix it?

Ordered these in person from Willies Handmade Leather Boots back in February. I decided to get them in Badalassi Oliva Minerva leather because I’ve seen that the patina goes from an olive color to more of a brown. I also opted for the s4 last with an unstructured toe. Excited to break these in and see the color change!
