Hard to argue with that list. Recently found a couple of rare/discontinued pairs of RWs online and snatched 'em up. 8015 Blacksmiths in brown spitfire (leather lined in the vamp + storm welt) and 4523 "Vintage Beckman Chukkas for Brooks Brothers," fully leather lined with double leather midsole and stacked leather heel (the newer and now discontinued Beckman chukkas eventually went with a full rubber heel and only a single layer of leather for the midsole). I posted in a RW group to see if anyone knew what kind of leather is on that boot, but nobody seems to know. RW hasn't gotten back to my email about it. It _really_ reminds me of natural chromexcel. If you know what leather they use, let me know! Super curious.

@@CJCook this is the specific pair that I bought for $155. Worn once for like half a day, footbed is like new. Scuffs very easily and the color is very different from its natural state (someone mistook it for Teak Featherstone because of how it looks now). Haven't gotten my hands on them yet, should be delivered either Saturday or early next week. i.imgur.com/ctWvjwq.jpg And never-worn 8015 for $175, should be delivered tomorrow. Bought some Pisgah Range laces with brass aglets to match the eyelets: i.imgur.com/UGzlaaV.png Both are factory firsts, so pretty much a steal at those prices.

I agree with your list man, although the #1 feels like a bit of cheating haha. People cherish the Iron Rangers but to me, the Blacksmith is the true champion. Beckman definitely looks great too but I think they look way more bulbous than Blacksmith. The only issue I have with BS is the range of colours, or lack of them rather. I love that contrasting welt to a black upper and the Prairie leather does not seem like a "true" black to me. I never understood why they don't have black harness for the BS. And why not have a darker brown colour? Oh, and 3340 is not available in Europe which is also pissing me off slightly to be honest lol. Otherwhise, I like how the BS looks and if I were to get a pair of RW (I've had the 8161 actually), I'd most likely choose BS.
