This please. I'd rather see how these age rather than the quality

Yes

[@carlinman539]

100% agree. Time lapse of the patina would be sick! Please buy another pair to cut.

[@cheekibreeki9155]

You are correct that the leather is dipped into indigo as a boot after stitching and not dipped into indigo as a whole hide. I found a couple of blogs from 2014 to 2015 detailing the process used to make the original OSB indigo boot run. It's a really interesting read on the process they use to dip and rinse the leather until they get the wanted blue hue (it turned green during the first dip, which is hilarious to me).

[@pastense]

As a fan of Japanese selvedge AND blue being my favorite color, I’d totally rock these! Something I’d do during the break in period would be to stick to jeans for the first few wears and get a whole pack of blue socks lol

[@Erik-gd3or]

If you really want to go all out you could get indigo dyed socks too. I have a pair. Even after a few years they still continue to bleed onto the lining and insoles of my sneakers. Never tried them with my boots. Probably wouldn’t show up as much on tan leather lining

[@pastense]

@@Erik-gd3or yikes…that sounds like you’ll have blue feet! I mean, I love indigo, but maybe not THAT much lol

[@ta868]

Wondering how these are not being talked about in fashion circles rn! Can't decide if they look more awesome paired with denim jeans or orange pants 🤔 I think indigo boots with orange pants is a real statement. Love hearing and learning about the natural indigo dyeing process. Thank you!🙏

[@killer257296]

I personally don't own a pair of orange pants but I frequently pair these boots with indigo and indigo adjacent colored garments.

[@DenyTheZeitgeist]

Orange sounds interesting, but you better be ready to deal with the transfer. I’ve dyed the white collar on my thorogoods with Selvedge jeans, I imagine this will work in reverse since the boots will also bleed and will be dying the inside of the orange pants.

[@ta868]

[@bobjohnson6321]

i've had these boots for a couple years and they have been a unique piece in my collection. i got them back when they used Japanese natural indigo and dainite soles. i never had the kind of transfer you were showing here in fact, i would say my previous iteration was much less saturated with a lighter starting point. they quickly developed a brown, neppy, speckled appearance. i guess i've always been somewhat hesitant to put together a wardrobe around blue boots.

Pumped that you finally checked out OSB! Love my pair. Excited to see them cut for MITUSA series!

[@MichaelE.Douroux]

Indigo along with cotton and tobacco was one of the three major cash crops of the pre-Civil War south. There was big demand in Europe for its rich color and absorption capabilities with natural fabrics like wool, cotton, linen, and silk.

[@Antenox]

I think I speak for a lot of your fans when I say that we would absolutely watch a series where you explore other products that are known to develop patinas over time. I mean, we all watch you cut apart sneakers even though most of them are just foam and glue, lol. You might not attract a new audience, but you could introduce your existing audience to a product class that had previously not known about

[@wystan8995]

I love this silhouette! I have a pair of their limited edition white field boots and they’re fading beautifully! Have considered the indigo pair on more than one occasion

How cool. I needed new boat shoes and it was between Oak Street and Rancourt. I was looking hard at Oak Street's navy Chromexcel at $215. I ended up going with Rancourt's Read Boat shoe in natural Chromexcel. First because they'll go with more color options for pants or shorts. But second because they were on sale for $150. Both companies make their shoes in Lewiston, Maine.

Dyeing the cuff of your pants with your boots would be unique for sure.

[@bricesechrist6438]

Currently wearing my indigo boots from OSB. I got mine between 2015-2017. Not completely sure when in there though. My version has all eyelets and dainite soles. I really like them, though they are a unique boot that cant be worn for everything. The roughout leather tips you off to that idea though. I don't wear them hard or in instances they would get scuffed or teacored very much. So after 6-8 years of at least once a week wear they have started to have some of that natural leather peak through in the heels and toes. Getting a bit of a greenish tone. When it started I thought they just looked dirty where the dye was coming off but now that it is pushed through more they are looking much better. I definitely have some minor indigo dye left over on the inside of the boots. I dont however see any dye on the welt areas, though it could have been there at the start. I'm very excited to keep wearing these and seeing the bigger high's and low's of the indigo and natural leather. I want to try some other soles as well, the dainite have been hard wearing and fine for most things. Though I dont like them much in winter as they slip more than expected, and the circles trap ice and drop it around the house when I walk in. Debating between V-Bar and Dr. Sole like these, I also have some cats paw heels I might put on these boots, I want them to go on the "right" boots. I am a big fan of this last as well. I was very worried about them looking too bulbus before I got them, now they just seem great shaped. My outside toes stay straight for longer than normal and this last helps a lot for that. Sizing: I am a 12.5 on my left foot, 12 on the right. I got a 12D and it fits great to me.

[@peterbarash8765]

[@jbsimmons54]

Weston, speaking of sock staining, inasmu h as you have many Red Wing Iron Ranger vids, I don't recall you saying that they also will stain socks just like many PNW logger boots do. I have the 8084 black IR and the socks will not come clean in the wash. What does get them clean is Dawn, hot water, and a scrub brush!

[@gsmadmax100]

Fun fact. you know shoe factory's, when you go to the assembly line and head over to the toe lasting area . You generally see big old steamers, steaming the hell out of uppers, steam is really good for this because it adds heat to the upper and moisture. Shoes last better when they're hot and moist. So yeah if this indigo gives up its die easily then I suspect that that heating steaming process would be enough to cause that overall bleeding of dyes to stitches etcetera..... hot and moist. :)

Thank you for reviewing OSB; I like their boots. I have the Field Boot true-to-size; they feel a little roomy but nice, and I also have the Trench Boot a half-size-down, and they feel a little snug but pleasant. So, I guess what I am getting at is that the Elston last is very accommodating. You can play with the fit and still get a solid and comfortable boot.

[@Dennis-vh8tz]

They say it's vat dyed, so my guess would be that they dye the hides before cutting them. The dye is dissolved in water and probably penetrates the flesh side of the leather more easily than the grain side, with the latter mostly flaking/wearing off as it's handled throughout manufacturing. The blue everywhere probably comes from the fingers of the people making the boots. I agree with the chorus that these are too special to cut up - for that there are many other Oak Street boots made from more common leathers.
