What model RW boots did the guy who fucked your oneitis wear?

>>14625361
Why do we need a constant Reddit bout spam thread? I especially love how everyone posts and no one replies and most/all questions go completely unanswered. There’s no discussion/talking points here

>>14625389
Because otherwise half of the catalog is spammed full of boot threads with only five replies each every time someone decides to make a thread over something that doesn't need it.
The boot threads greatly keep boot spam down on /fa/

>>14625367
Red Wings make the best US style work boots in their price bracket. Don't like the style or think it's oversubsribed? Fair enough, don't buy them. But not buying a particular brand in that style that's popular because it offers excellent value is cucked in the extreme. Following reddit to reject what they wear is reactive turbofaggotry.

Where i could buy boots like this?

>>14625549
>below ankle

>boots

Hello, pencil necks.

Fashion retard checking in, are timbs any good or is there something cheaper I should go for instead?

Scooped up those Red Wing for free through a voucher
Pretty happy about them
But people are 50/50
Either they like em a lot or they think they are gay

do you guys like this? new to boots and want a black pair

>>14625688
Does Barbour make good shoes?

>>14625697
almost guaranteed to be shit

>>14625708
I thought so as well. Have a jacket from them. Absolute joke

>>14625720
ive only heard good things, why is yours shit?

>>14625720
The jackets are good. Why are you out here chatting shit?

>>14625738
Loses feathers.

>>14625669
How do I get a voucher (I'm a poorfag)

>>14625688
I have no experience with them, but I can almost guarantee that Barbour makes shitty boots.

>>14625389
>everything I don't like is Reddit
Grow up already, damn.

I'm a girl but I got size 11 feet. Where can I buy boots that aren't super masculine? Most sellers don't carry past size 10 pls help

>>14626127
P-post feet. In high heels preferably

>>14626141
/d/ is over there, heathen

>>14626127
How tall are you? Only asking because I've never dated over 5'8" and the largest shoes a girlfriend's worn have been like 8.

>>14626127
Pre or post op?

>>14626127
How friggin tall are you?

>>14625990
I'm a poorfag as well, otherwise I wouldn't have bought them.
At the time, a website called 'unidays' had a referral program, where you got a 5€ fashion voucher for every referral.
It targets students, so I got myself a referral link and spammed it in a dozen Facebook groups of new students all across the country. Ended up with 350€ for 2 hours of work pretty soon and got myself the RedWings.
The referral program got closed shortly after that, otherwise I would have done it every semester. Literally the easiest money I ever made.

I know Wolverine gets a lot of hate here, but these are the best shoe buy I've made. Centennial bison leather edition for about $120 at Marshall's a couple years ago. The last fits my feet a lot better than other brands I've tried.

>>14626314
They're good relative to the price you paid for them. And that's awesome you found them for that cheap, enjoy them and consider resoling them down the road with a rubber sole. And being bison and not CXL you won't have to worry about shitty creasing and loose grain.
Wolverines for full price is not good value at all though and I shiggy doggy anyone spends as much as they ask for a pair.

>>14626374
What exactly is so shitty about Wolverines? Next to a pair of Redwing IRs they seemed just as well made, just made like dress boots and not work boots.

My gf says she wants a pair of black combat boots made of real leather for her bday. Sounds pretty simple but do you guys have any recs?

>>14626388
Does your gf go stomping queers?

>>14626384
>worst CXL clicking probably of any brand, worse than Alden
>Extremely prone to loose grain as a result
>non-existent quality control
>Wolverine probably doesn't even look at their boots before sending them out
>leather sole
>synthetic insole
>completely overpriced
They cut every corner they can, have terrible QC and still ask 385USD for it. It's maybe a 200 dollar boot if they actually have a shit about their product, but i wouldn't spend over 150 for what you're getting.

>>14626388
Unironically the women's Iron Rangers from Red Wing. They have a different silhouette than the men's version that looks really good on girls. I'm getting my wife a pair for her birthday soon, she picked it

I have various red wing heritage boots (IR, beckman) , and for years now I keep hoping they will release a dark brown (chocolate) boot. they never do, in ANY style. I dont get why. Its the most versatile of all colors. they have black, charcoal grey, tan, amber/honey color, burgundy color.... but no dark brown. does anyone else notice this, or do i just have autism?

>>14626399
>leather sole
That's not a quality issue. That's dressy aesthetics.

>>14626405
What about this color?

>dressy aesthetics
>on a self proclaimed work boot
Oxymoron.
They're saving money by not paying for Dainite or Vibram

>>14626415
They're workboot-inspired fashion boots. Nobody thinks you're going to put on a pair of 1000 Miles and put on a roof. Wolverine makes rubber soled boots if you do real work.

>>14626411
yeah those were a limited edition made for red wing japan i think, and arent even available anymore. plus theyre pretty black looking, really. i know when they first started doing the heritage line, they made the iron rangers in chocolate muleskinner supposedly. wish theyd bring them back

>>14626426
Is the IR in amber harness not light enough for you?

>>14626441
Excellent.
Tell us more about brands and models

>>14626449
left to right

John Lobb + Paul Smith green museum calf oxfords
Cheaney Orwell B derby boot
Crockett and Jones Coniston boot in roughout suede
George Cleverly Toby semi brogue boot

copped these recently, pretty hyped on the stacking and the toebox, are they too feminine to wear with jeans tho? Also what are some of the better ways to restore leather?

Would you people who have experiance with boots recommend chelseas or lace up? (not those in pic)

Im considering chelseas for fall/winter for the functionality but lace ups do look better

>>14626477
can't decide between those types aswell

>>14626477
both are poor examples of their style

>>14626508
>(not those in pic)

>>14626611
laces always

>>14625634
Jesus man, timbs are one of the cheapest options. Unless you're looking for walmart brand boots? I think you're in the wrong thread.

>>14625634
>cheaper than Timbs
Please do not

>>14626425
His point still stands.

cop or nop?

>>14626314
>>14626374
other sole options include having your cobbler glue a vibram 2332 sole onto the leather. Whenever it wears down, you just have him take it off and glue a new one on. Cheaper and more convenient than resoling

>>14626467
not too fem. its slick mate, I'm about it.

was about to cop a pair of doc derby, by found a new pair of red wing post man for 130 on eBay.

>>14625367
What's your problem dude?

>>14625367

>>14626695
hell yeah dude

>>14626698
Some guy in Red Wings fucked his crush at a party he was at. He has posted about it before. Literally cucked by RWs before his very eyes.
He's been posting those memes ever since out of bitterness and jealousy.

>>14626698
4chan is a place for some real unhappy people, mate.

>>14626721
hehehe shit I didn't know that. lil troll origin story.

>>14626695
based. wearing them at the moment.

>>14626477
I really like chelsea boots, slip on is so much more convenient than laces, especially if you’re going in and out all day and don’t want to get carpets dirty, you’ll probably adjust to the look over time. They also draw compliments a lot as a bonus.

>>14626784
Compliments from other dudes who want to piss inside your asshole, sure. Girls will simply assume you're gay

>>14626803
lmfao I love reading this shit. 4chan is incel central, and people regularly ask for advice here. no wonder they're going to receive responses like this.

anyone know a good site for leather combat boots? i can't seem to find any

>>14625361
My Hanwags are falling apart after 2 years and I need a new work boot. Farm work, nothing with too much abuse.
Anyways, has anybody here got a pair of Thorogood 8" round toe boots? Are they any good?

>>14626859
Thorogood has kind of a weird last that didn't fit me. Huge in the heel area and small in the toe. Boots seemed well made and the leather was buttery soft.

Boots inspo?

>>14626784
They're harder to get off and on imo.

Asking as a bootless person: Is there something that comes close to Dr. Martens in price, but is clearly better in craftsmanship / materials?

>>14626946
Rangers

>>14625361
those soles wont last

>>14626961
Compared to what? A Vibram sole can last for years before needed a resole

>>14626721
False. Guys who wear Red Wings get no pussy because they are too busy jerking each other off over each other's Selvedge denim fades and beard oil.

>>14627152
>t. cucked by someone in Blacksmiths
Or was it Beckmans? You tell me, cuck

>>14627234
It was neither because people who wear Red Wings spend their time at a party awkwardly huddled and silently complaining to themselves that their favorite Microbrew/IPA isn't available.

>>14627297
Meanwhile those of us wearing Wolverines are banging big-tiddie girls.

What kind of fits can I pull off with jungles

>>14627344
Do any legit companies make jungle boots any more or is it all Rothco shit? I went with Palladiums instead.

how do you guys all feel about corcorans? Any personal reviews or opinions?

>>14625361
What are the boots in this pic

>>14626467
This from a current/recent season? I really like those.

Thoughts on cowboy boots? Been eyeing a couple of pairs.

>>14628275
American Wellington boots.

Meermin has some MTO shell split toe boots, and some MTO shell loafters in the 400-500 range if anyone is interested.

>>14628638
wait scratch that, the loafers are $350 in cherry shell. though they look like english royalty larper shoes lmao

I'm in the market for a pair of black combat boots.

Recommendations?

>>14628779
>>14628786
I actually like those, they have the aesthetic I'm after: a middle ground between slick and bulky with a rugged look. But since they get a lot of hate on here, perhaps there's something wrong about them that I'm not fully aware of.

>>14628795
>perhaps there's something wrong about them that I'm not fully aware of.
They're somewhat popular around here. That's what they find wrong with them.

>>14628800
damn ain't that the truth. fa is a board of contrarians all being the same while trying to be different.

I have come to the conclusion that I don't need new boots, I just want new boots. I own four pairs, two of them were 500+ dollars and are top tier.
Please help me stop spending money! I can't keep doing this

>>14628892
ignore those thoughts and start a rotation.
or just find something you really want before boots and buy it.

>>14628800
>>14628804
Anyway, reliable source to get them from? How do they size?

>>14628915
I got mine from kstore but you can probably get them for cheaper somewhere else online. I wear a 44 and I got a 44 and am pretty happy with the fit. kinda wish I got another kind of milsurp boots but I didn't pay that much.

>>14628896
Nigga, i have 150 dollars in my bank account. I'm a full time student. Why do I do this?

>>14628892
Load up the funds you were gonna spend on boots into an ETF. Every time you get the urge, do the same thing. Then when that money makes you enough to buy a pair of boots, do it.

>>14628947
Oh lmao you’re just bad with money nvm. get off of fashion boards and focus on studying. Learn how to save your money. don’t you care about future you?

Idiot here, but are there generally variations in the profile of a boot within a particular style? Like I see a lot of combat boots with big toe boxes, but are there manufactures making combat boots with a smaller toe box? Or would that just be a completely different style of boot?

>>14626477
chelseas look awesome, always catch the eye

gotta take good care of them, more fragile

>>14627518
I haven't lurk on this board that much this last year.

What's up with all this fight over Red Wings ans Docs?

>>14627518
red wings are popular so you have one or two contrarian dudes poppin off sweet memes about them. docs are popular too so you get those contrarian badbois too, however docs are also real shit quality so there's some basis there for disparaging them.

>>14627628
>>14628804
>>14629593
How much does Red Wing pay you for each time you suck them off.

>>14629629
Nice argument

Meanwhile, I'm over here enjoying my arcane boomer greaves aka Red Wing Truhiker 3 Inch Aluminum Safety Toe Boot aka incelcore 3rd grader boot while you pencilnecks argue about Red Wing Heritage line, docs, and other virgin boots. I give it a few months before the general catches on to the glory of Red Wing's safety line

>>14629679
red wings are bad boots that are marked up to appeal to trendy people/hipsters. what you should be doing is supporting local bootmakers/other brands that still do all of their boot-making in the states.
red wings are slowly going the way of doc martens as in the only reason people buy them is the name and the popularity rather than the quality.

>>14629629
hey hey right on queue! nice one

>>14629703 I don't even have them anymore, I have Alden boots/shoes now. Has Red Wing's heritage line been dropping off? where are those boots even made

>support your local bootmakers

lol. im sorry but we dont have any "cobblers" in my town. no old italian men leaning over a dusty work bench assembling boots by hand. you have one in your town? theres literally only about 8-10 american bootmakers that im aware of, in all the U.S., and they are all made in factories.

>>14629775
yeah. there is a guy in my city that does mainly cowboy boots (from south) but he does great custom orders.
as for bigger brands, logistically it doesn't make sense for them to make custom by hand boots anymore. i have a pair of older miusa frye's and have gotten good use out of them and are still in good condition. not sure how they're doing now post buyout though but from the quick google search it appears that they still have miusa boots.

How do I order some proper custom White's boots? I'm not seeing any options on their website and websites like Baker's don't have all the options that I've seen with other people's White's

>>14631103
take em to your cobbler/shoe repair place anyways and they will tell you (and take your money)

>>14631679
You have to email or call them and they talk you through your build together and they tell you how much your options will cost.
Baker's is the easier way because it's all online. What boot and options are you wanting?

>>14631709
>What boot and options are you wanting?
Nothing too extreme, but I'd like to see what options are actually available before I buy anything. I requested a catalog from them, but haven't received it yet.

>>14631725
I'm not sure you you could want that Baker's doesn't have as options on their site.

fuck are postmans a meme now? i have never seen them on 4chan until i just bought a pair at full retail :/

they're so fucking dope for a plain black derby.

>>14632864
they'll be a meme. the meme will pass. the derby has been popular for decades. 4chan isn't going to ruin it.

>>14632866
the dude at the redwing store i bought them at had never even heard of them though, hopefully the price is high enough to scare enough meme teens away

>>14632878
I mean they've been wearing mono doc derbies. I know I was interested in them when I was a teen.

pic is the best version of them imo, alden 990

do you have a pic of how your postmans crease? I hear people love them or hate them

best boots period dont even >> me

>>14632878
Most Red Wing employees have no clue what they're talking about or just straight up don't know anything

>>14632893
I can see why the creasing would through some people off

>>14632951
That’s probably fair to say lol, wasn’t terribly impressed

>>14632968
*throw

Fuck am I dumb :(>>14632969

Bought some IR’s today at my local Red Wing store, they’re my first proper pair of boots. When I was looking into boots initially I couldn’t decide between the IR and the 1000 mile, but hearing about Wolverine’s shit QC and the leather sole made me choose Red Wing.

>>14633032
Looks great, friend. Cooper rough and tough color?

>>14632968
They look better than expected even. less loose grain than my Alden boots. Thanks for posting, anon :)

>>14628313
I haven't played rust in ages.

Friendly reminder that creasing=/=loose grain.
Creasing is fine and normal property of leather. Loose grain is something that happens when the layers of the hide separate and the leather will get really ugly, huge creases as a result.
I have seen so many times on other forums where someone sees a single fucking crease that is totally acceptable and asks: "Is this loose grain? Should I return this?"

>>14633221
what’s loose grain? Do you have some photos? sorry I am a complete newbie

>>14633239
>"Normally, leather fibres are very closely knit, making it virtually impossible to see any gaps or weaknesses. But, if the grain layer of the leather is of irregular thickness and density, it is described as looseness of leather or loose grain leather. In some cases the looseness is so pronounced that the surface can be separated from the lower leather layers by using your finger and such leather tends to get a very wrinkly appearance when folded."

>“It feels like air pockets and is very apparent on a cutting table. It’s always easy to discover and by default cut around in production, and discard. It very rarely hides itself before a shoe is lasted, and it’s a rare mistake when it gets cut and used.”
The vamp of these Wolvermeme 1000k boots is riddled with loose grain. No excuse for Wolverine to make boots out of their shit leather. A good clicker and actual QC can prevent it.

>>14633257
Another example.

>>14633260

>>14633261
There's creasing, which is normal, and there's pic related, which is bad.

Im going to do it.

Yes, fucker, I know. I said I've never done it before so I have no insight into how much those fees are. They could be 5 dollars or 50 dollars and I couldn't say.

>>14635883
Top two have silly silhouettes imo. The last one looks proper for winter. that’s just my opinion buddy, but you asked

>>14635883
Top three even. Last one is a clear winner

>>14635892
>that’s just my opinion buddy, but you asked
nah that's exactly what I'm asking. having trouble deciding between them
>>14635894
would go for them all if I had the dough, but I gotta make a tough decision

>>14635883
Of these, the fourth one. Easily. The third is alright if for whatever reason you can't get the fourth. The first two look ugly

tfw you will never pull off boots like the ryan gosling

I want to get a pair of solovairs, trying to build a kind of milsplo/vintage explorer style wardrobe.

Should I go with brown or black boots? I feel like black is more versatile in general but brown fits my needs better

>>14636084
Too bad Stacey Adams boots are objectively garbage. It's interesting that the wardrobe people chose those ones.
I do actually like the last they're built on though.

any tips/advice for hiking boots under $100?

>>14636136
corcoran military boots

>>14635070
Side zip

>>14635099
You idiot.

>>14636101
Are they really that bad? I liked the last too and they are way cheaper than any other GYW boot

>>14636088
No one on this board likes solovair or recommends. I recommend going for brown Corcorans, they're cheaper

>>14636955
hahaha, I'd get solovair's before those school shooter boots.

>>14636952
They're just cheaply made. They leather is basically plastic and the QC isn't there. They're really not a good boot. Again it's unfortunate, because I like the shape and style of the last.
If anyone knows of a similar boot that is actually good, let me know

Has anybody used the Boss boot tree from Woodlore? It's on sale right now and it seems like a good alternative to Red Wing's, which I've heard breaks easily.

>>14637114
are boot trees really necessary? or is it just an aesthetic reason. when I travel I usually just put a sock or two in there above the shoe tree to keep the upper from collapsing

>>14637121
They make them smell nice, absorb moisture which is a leather killer and they help them keep their shape which prevents creasing. They're so cheap there's really no reason not to use them.

Yeah, I think that I am based.

>>14637149
Looks really faggy

>>14637149
Disgusting, you are going to look back with shame

>>14637160
You too!

>>14632445
wtf is this shape

>>14637147
No no I'm aware, I use shoe trees. I specifically mean boot trees.

>>14637190
Oh, got it. Honestly, I don't know. Seems like overkill when shoe trees already exist

>>14637164
Why thou

>>14636136
OK, full stop. If you're looking to actually go hiking (as opposed to hiking-inspired fashion boots) get off /fa/ and talk to /out/. People who go into the woods and do things don't wear vintage leather workboots. They wear ugly but functional modern hiking boots that are comfortable, breathable, good traction, and don't weigh a ton.

>>14637216
big ups. /out/ is a better board anyway.

Dunno to cop or not, do these look legit to you? The leather seems too much texturized imo they could be fake

>>14637226
its just using a different type of leather than their smooth leather. they're most likely real. you just won't be getting the weird leather they usually use.

>>14637230
Mmmm, I checked his feedbacks and he sold two other pairs of docs in the last six months, both different sizes than the ones he's currently selling, sounds fishy to me, I think he buys fake ones for like 30$ and try to make some easy money from time to time

How are these for poorfag boots?

>>14636088
Solovairs are great.
OP is a fag.

>>14637216
>>14637219
i tried but no one responded
I know the difference between hiking and trad boots as well i just dont know what good brands are

>>14637401
I'd go to REI and talk to them if that's an available option to you.

Broke nigga here, should I get these?

>>14637429
For work

>>14637433
then yeah, sure man. go for it

What is the most Reddit boot there is?

>>14637975 anything by red wing and anything with this toebox >>14627592

>>14638002
Those aren't moc toes though, the most Reddit boot of all

>>14637401
Wait for a sale and buy Merrill. They're good unless you're taking epic hikes and need something super duper.

>>14637401
Danner is good from everything I've heard. Never owned a pair but everyone I know who has loves theirs.
I have a pair of Merrills and really like them.

Post boots dammit

w2c grey and tan suede chelsea boots at a reasonable price?

>>14638876
Where are all you people from that wear chelsea boots? Is it a Yuro thing? Aussie? Who is wearing them?

>>14638884
I happen to be from new zealand but it's not like a trend here or anything

>>14638901
I knew it. Chelsea boots aren't really an American thing. But I know Aussies have RM Williams and also Brits like them. Different cultures I guess

>inb4 some American guy who knows "loads of people" that wear them
No you don't.

>>14638870
alright here you motherfckers go, I bought these at the feit sample sale in nyc.

moving 2 canada and wanted something real cozy, was very close to getting actual uggs but then these sweet messes caught my eye.

hi

>>14638954
Disgusting boots. Don't care about them.
Tell us about Canada, why are you moving there?

>>14639009
they’re not for your pleasure, my man. they’re for my feet’s, and god damn are they pleasurable.

I’m going for school, baby. took my gap years and now it’s time

>>14639013
>gap year
Are you a Brit?

What’s a good or decent-quality alternative to Common Projects combat boots? Not crazy on the side zipper, but I just love the silhouette and sleek, black look. Heard poor things about Docs, otherwise I’d get their mono black model. How are Solovairs?

>>14632948
These are the superior Yeezy boots. Fav boots I've ever owned

Cop or not?

>>14627677
these are all garbage

>>14637280
what are these?

>>14639391
>I don't like something so it's garbage

>>14629580
roughly, /fa/ sees Docs as wannabe edgy sjw queer, Red Wings as MFA soi tier. there's truth to both but they're also both versatile baka

>>14629580
It's not a fight over one or the other.
Most of the board sees Docs as what they are: edgy boots for teenagers and lesbians. Personally, I don't see anyone wearing Docs on my university campus except for women with problem glasses and blue hair. Or else wannabe punk types. In fact, now that I mention it, the only male I saw wearing a pair was the blind kid. Docs are just childish looking, and Solovair is the same as they have the same aesthetic and look.
Red Wings are fine and 99% of people who own a pair love theirs. It's literally just one guy who's crush got fucked at a party by a dude in Iron Rangers, so he autistically posts about them on here. Red Wings are universally seen as very good quality and durability for the price and therefore good value in the boot world.
There are a few posters in these threads who genuinely know what they're talking about and you can easily recognize their posts. Listen to them and take advice. Most others just post garbage and get mad at someone for liking what they don't

>>14636088
Go with the black ones. Brown Solovairs always look a bit off to me.

>>14639797
>people I don’t like wears them

Is not a good reason to not wear them. The look is very chilish but half this board is sub-18 anyway.

>>14639797
>one guy who's crush got fucked at a party by a dude in Iron Rangers
Proof of this?

I've never worn boots before. I'm in Germany and tired of having cold feet from sneakers. What very versatile pair of boots does /fa/ recommend? Was thinking of getting Doc Marten Chelseas.

>>14639947
Get the Solovair. Same design but better quality, as they're not made in China.

>>14639953
Would be easier for me to just get Docs as they'd ship to my place in a day.

Thoughts on these?

https://www.nps-solovair.com/collections/solovair/products/s0-900-bg-g?variant=28825748734016

>>14639927
How the fuck do Red Wings look childish? What the fuck does that mean?
They look childish but Docs with their yellow stitching and huge ugly commando soles don't? Give me a break

>>14639939
literally no proof. he just keeps spewing the same bullshit in every boot thread whenever someone criticizes red wings.

>>14639985
I’m talking about docs.

>>14640012
Ah got it. Makes sense.
Red Wings have a very classic and typical boot look to them. Just because someone doesn't like them doesn't make them childish.
Docs/Solovair are the epitome of childish

I want some cdbs but I want something that isn't made of paper.

Suggestions?

>>14626477
What are those boots on the right

>>14637424
Save up and get the Red Wing truhikers. Best work boot on the planet

>>14632948
fucking nice

Any of you niggas been in that Red Wing thread? Pure unadulterated autism by all parties.

>>14641062
>red wings
No, we don’t work dude

>>14641063
Are you a neet?

Sauce on shoes?

Yay or nay?

>>14637280
You nigs can't just posts a pic of generic looking boots and not tell us how much they cost and what brand. You can a lot about what kinda quality to expect just by knowing who makes them, and price is obviously needed
Come on, damn

>>14626405
it's called mink oil, that will turn your boots dark

>>14641151
New Balance 608v4

What kinda boots are neither reddit boots like RW, school shooter boots like Docs and combat boots, or faggot boots like chelseas?
What are just regular ass, grown adult who dresses nice and isn't wearing a costume kinda boots?

>>14641213
hell yeah thanks dude

>>14641213
These are hilarious because anyone that wears them has to know they're ugly. Autism shoes are so funny to me because you'd have to literally have autism to wear them

>>14641214
none. no more boots left. you've nailed our endgame.

>>14641219
But lets brainstorm and think about it. Are they service boot types or is that reddit? Desert and chukka boots are pure onions. It has to be dress boots. It's all that's left

I vote Alden boots as regular ass normal person boots. Indiana Jones pulled them off without it being onions

>>14625444

is such a silly meme. like you're going to get so many different types of people. who cares if there's overlap in interests/brands/looks etc. think for yourself on what you like. but yeah man I'm with >>14641228. Aldens are my goto shoemaker. They're not trying to be workwear, nor are they trying to be trendy. They're just well-made classic shoes/boots that look nice.

>>14641249
I'm pretty sure they're gonna be my next ones. I want something nice, classic and neutral

>>14641228
Yeah, I don’t think Harrison Ford was every concerned about not seeming masculine
