I was surprised to see the IR at 6 but I applaud you for that decision. While the IR is an amazing boot (I have the 8119 and 8111), I think a lot of the praise it gets in mainstream circles really takes away from some of RW's other offerings. On that note, it's cool to see the Beckman get some love. I'm a huge fan of my 9014 Beckmans and agree that they are extremely versatile.

Hey CJ, for your Hawthorne Beckmans, where did you go to have the speed hooks replaced with eyelets? I brought my Blacksmiths in to my local RW dealer to have it done, told them that I want the exact same stock eyelets used on the rest of the boot, and of course, they botched it by having a local cobbler put in ones that just look close enough. I told them to take them back and send them to the RW factory to redo it. I waited two months, and they were returned with the same cobbler job (nothing was done to them). I was a little upset tbh, and I had them send them back again. Did you manage to get the exact same stock eyelets put on yours?

I have a great pair of , what were Tommy hilfiger , suede , 8 inch , with speed hooks . I cut them down to 6 inch , no more speed hooks to dig into all my scar tissue around the upper ankle . Changed the colour fom thorn to burgundy. I nevet felt comfortable in these boots until I made those alterations.

I don't iron my jeans unless extremely necessary. The straight legs jeans I own are folded a certain way as to not have creasing along the seam when worn. The slim jeans are folded as normal. Customized boots are the best. If one is going to invest in a 300$ boot might as well make it how you want it 😉👍🏽
