Edge treatment
So I’m looking for advice on how to treat the edge of this slab without losing its look. There are a bunch of cracks along it that I think I should epoxy but again I don’t want to lose the look.
Nicks kinda day
Had my boots in to the cobbler for a little TLC after I kicked something to tear up the wedge sole. The cap wasn’t what I originally wanted but I like how they turned out. Not that I’ve had an issue but hopefully it provides a little more grip.
Second I received my belt size exchange. I’ll be wearing it for the next 8 days to determine if I want to order a matching pair of boots before Domepro ends. I really want a pair in CXL no. 8. This looks close
And third not the floor board but I wanted to show what I was wearing today.
WTB-Lokgrip Magwell
Lokgrip has been out of these in black for a while and I’m loosing patience. Does anyone have one they’d like to move or have a lead on one?

Shackleton leathers
Noticed these aren’t available on the site currently. Are you guys out or were these discontinued and I miss the news?
Cypress - Raisin Cherry belt vs 64 brown
Both are really nice. The RC is a little thicker but it’s also brand new. I like the Appaloosa a little better but this is more of my vibe.
And we wait
I’ve been thinking about this build once
BigStetson suggested pacific wax flesh. But seeing Bitter Diamond pair and the Father’s Day sale did me in.
Sample sale boot (Landcaster English Tan)
Had these for a week or so, but haven’t had a chance to wear them yet. Was waiting on the laces, but I’m not sure if I’m a fan of that color. Wanted to give a visual comparison to my most “dressy/casual” boots I currently own.
I was also concerned about the fit, but these feel great, not as good as the Thurman but close. The black boots are a 13ee, but I’ve went down in sizing to a 12.5f in my last few builds.

Hey Nicks folks,
Understand you guys have a lot on your plate right now, but do you know when you’ll offer this configuration in the on the BYO page? You guys did mention offering it, but with a host of other things during one of the YT videos.
Until i had a chance to feel the bull hide I didn’t know how compliant the leather is actually. Especially considering how thick it is. I ordered a kiltie in walnut bull hide for my Chieftain boots. First kiltie is 64 mahogany, second is Chieftain and the third is bull hide. Based on feel the Chieftain is less complaint of the three. To me it falls behind max support in feel and flex/give.
I spend way to much time on their site trying to see what I can build out. It’s interesting to see basically the same boot with different options on various tabs. Ever since returning my Gamebreaker I’ve been toying around with an alternative. If it ever comes to fruition these would be my winter hiking boots. I enjoy photography and will tromp through deep snow often, my feed don’t generally get cold but they do standing around in snow. I wish this was available on the lace to toe but it isn’t.
