Some people around here are pretty good at the ol' eBay game. I'm not one of them. I'll watch, maybe bid, then forget or fall asleep; usually missing out on the best thing ever by ten cents. At least I have all the photos I've saved in the process, clogging up my hard drive, to help make up for all the near misses, and what-if's. The folder containing the brand, fabric and washing tags is a personal favourite. It's like collecting internet stamps.

Ebay Find: Vintage LL Bean x Chippewa Work Boots

I was just surfing on eBay pretty hard looking at anything and everything vintage when I came across these beauties. A pair of LL Bean work boots from the 60's made by Chippewa boot company. Most people already have their boot game worked out but for the winter but there's always room in the closet for another. These have been broken in to near perfection and are looking great. I love the cherry red toes that fades into the tan upper. Similar to Red Wing's Iron Rangers they have that slimmer profile compared to other boots, a good thing in my opinion. Wear them with any pants cuffed, stacked, tucked in, whatever; these boots will work well with pretty much anything. Sorry if I blew up your spot, if not, the auction ends tomorrow night.
