Boots kick ass - Dry Bones

So lately I have been thinking a lot about my wardrobe and how pathetic it is. I have always prided myself on never having to go to work in a monkey suit (suit and tie) or pleated pants and a polo shirt. However, lately I have had a hankering to step out of jeans and tees a bit and grab some goddamn style for once. I still want to keep it casual but last week I was in San Fran and walked by a Ralph Lauren Rugby store and just by walking by the window display I was ashamed at my closet. I am somewhat in the fashion business...shit.

One of the big problems I face internally in my head is that over the years I have represented countless jeans and tee brands so that costume was ok and expected of me. Also...I haven't had to pay for clothes since I was in high school.

That being said...lately I have really had a thing for boots. I really like cool old school cobbled boots. I don't really have much in my closet (hello Goodwill) that goes well with a nice pair of boots (though I have a great Italian pair my boy Rene gave me and some old school brown Docs that are warn in just right after 15 years of use).

Yesterday my friend's at LTD Magazine posted a piece on this Japanese bootmaker who is coming out called Dry Bones. I really like what I saw. It is a solid blend of old school (wingtip and desert boots) mixed with the modern by usage of colorways and body.

From what I gather you can buy these boots at Self Edge, which is coincidentally in San Fran. Get on it.
