Looks amazing broth,la, those straps look clean:)

Dude don’t do that, I was literally just about to tell you that I’m jealous that you look so much like the rebel scout without a helmet in the end of ROTJ. You could go without your helmet and still be screen accurate:). Please don’t stop brotha, you have built the whole thing and all you have to do are a few small tweaks and you are approved.

Moving right along brotha, looking awesome

that was the first thing I thought when I saw this. “I wonder where I can find a license plate”, lol

Genius, I like your thinking

Good attitude :)

Welcome, ur in for a fun build.

Looking good, I’m a little jealous cause I’m at a stand still on my build and ever time I see an update from you it gives me an itch to make progress. You are doing an amazing job

Wow brotha, what a difference. Looks great.

I wasn’t expecting it to be done that fast and that’s part of the reason why I was messaging him to see if the ETA was still the same but I think he thought that it was a deal breaker for me to not have it done by next week so that could have been why he refunded. Anyways, I’m just going to assume it is a miscommunication issue and reorder through him. I’m not necessarily in a rush to get them so he can take his time, my main concern originally was the goods showing up when I’m out of town and not having anyone home to receive them.

Thanks for the reassurance, I think I’m going to give it another ego with him. I think is might have been a miscommunication issue.

It’s cool, I’m not going to let this prevent me from moving forward. Just a little speed bump. I’m sure it’s just a miscommunication, sounds like he has done pretty good business with everyone recently so maybe I will give him another go. Thanks for the positive words

So I have a bit of a problem with my soft goods from Kriptontop. I asked christian when he thought his estimated time of completion would be back in December, he told me the end of January. So on Wednesday this week I sent him a message to touch bases with him since next week is the last week of January. I simply asked if he is still planning to be done at the end of the month. I was super polite and not demanding at all. He replied to my comment by refunding my money and said, “Sorry, it is not ready yet. I refunded your money. Maybe you can find it by other more fast”. Now I don’t know if this is a miscommunication problem but I tried to explain to him that I don’t mind waiting, I just want to stay on top of when it is arriving so I can make sure someone is home for when it gets delivered since I work out of town a lot. I also sent him a couple messages asking how to proceed since the order was canceled through Etsy as well and he hasn’t responded to any of my messages. Has anyone had this issue with Christian before? I know there were mixed reviews on here about him but I really wanted to go with him because of how tailor made his suits are from the reviews I have read but I’m not getting very good customer service so I’m thinking of jumping over to imperial boots. Any suggestions would be awesome

Looks awesome man:)

Yeah I would definitely save that for last, and if you do heat it up, go as slow as you can. I have done it before on TK armor and if you go to fast it will bubble or warp.

That’s not a bad idea, for all the rich guys out there:)lol

That’s a good one

I understand that, I’m fairly tall so I need to watch my gapping on stuff for sure.

I like how your photos look like pictures in a country living boot catalog:) I love it. They actually look better in your pics than the IB website.

That’s good to know:) I know the durability of their OG pair is great my good buddy has been trooping his 5 years strong with no issues.

That’s a good tip to remember

That’s what I thought when I started looking into Scout boots after being out of the circuit for 5 years, lol

That’s actually a great idea. When I said one piece, I didn’t mean the one piece look, I meant the one piece construction. I totally agree with you on the one piece look being a turn off. I remember the original IB have the leather tucked in the heel area and look like any ordinary boot but it appears as though the new IB and Crow prop boots have the material attached to the soul to give it the look that it’s loose. I’m not sure if that’s the case because I have only seen pictures, but it does look alot better than the tucked material one piece look.

Thanks Brotha, when exactly did the New IB become available? I actually have an order in for the crow props from back in December. I love the soles of them, But I’m curious about the IB because their toe shape looks better and if there is another item that I wouldn’t mind buying two of, it’s boots. I like the one piece construction of these manufactured boots. I made my own last time and I was always worried about the marine vinyl coming up and putting them on sometimes was a pain in the butt.

I know that the detachment can not endorse any specific maker when it comes to items but I’m just looking for a little discussion and opinion on what everyone thinks of the two since, in my opinion, they are the two makers producing a similar product. Not that they are necessarily any better than other makers out there. I just figure if there was a Chevy vs Ford situation with TB boots than it would be between these two. PS- I’m a Toyota guy, lol.
