@A-1 nice roofer boots too!
Hi Butte!
Thanks, those are the Bridgemen by Chippewa! I was thinking about writing a review as these are the most comfortable boots I’ve ever owned. It might be good to know for people who are having problems with their feet. I had a heel spur for several years(!) now and those other boots were doing bad things to my feet. 4 weeks in these Bridgemen and it’s gone! They’re not my favourite when it comes to beauty but they’re my go-to boots now! Even bought them in another color to be able to wear them more.

That's just too late, Ivan. I need pics this instant !!!

Not to draw attention from Zeki's buttkicking awesome jacket, but I really wanna give another shoutout to his beautiful music. I'm been going through a bit of a rough patch these past couple of months. Days filled with sadness, regret, loss and doubt. And, well, Zeki; your music is just the uplift I needed. Your songs "Chase the Sun" and "Wherever You May Roam" tocuhed me deeply and I will make sure to remember those lyrics for when the world seems at its most grim. They nearly brought me to tears. So, thank you. You have my support and admiration. Keep it up man. Would love to see you play you live someday! You and your outtathisworld jacket ;)

Hi Mendelboaz!
Thanks so much for your kind words! They mean the world to me as I'm just doing this for fun. Thanks!

I'll be playing in Haselünne in August. I saw you're from the Netherlands and it's not far from the border. Well, depending on where you live in the Netherlands, it might be the closest show at the moment. But I think it's a trip worth taking as it's a festival all over the city with a lot of artists from all over the world playing on a lot of different stages. As I've understood it, it's for free.
Best regards from the North of Germany!

How in the world did I miss this post?!? STUNNING jacket! I seriously need a DD J-24 right now ...! I think I'd prefer the quilted lining over the wool lining. Someone, try and stop me... It's a good thing I'm about to go off to college and need to save my money LOL

amazing pics. Loving the boots as well!

Thanks dude!!

Here are some close-ups to show the brown colour coming through. When you see it from a normal distance, it's hardly recognizable.

This jacket has been worn for almost a year whenever there was need for a jacket. I've not been wearing any other jacket this year. It has been through wild and soft, thick and thin rains, haha. No problem at all for the shinki hide. Just saying if you're wondering about shinki and rain.
It's quite heavy, waaaay heavier than my former BK Zeek jacket. But it's also more pliable. However, the best thing is that it keeps me warm on colder days, big fan of layering, and it's not too warm on warmer days either. I'm still really happy with this jacket!
Thanks to y'all who have been giving me advice to go for another try and wait for the perfect jacket. I think I couldn't be happier! @bretron
