Question:
Ok, i've wanted to purchase Frye boots (Engineers) for a couple years now.
However, when it came down to it, I always talked myself out of dropping $200+ on another pair of boots (I own 2 sets of RedWing work boots). Granted, they are US Made and with good workmanship.
Now i've finally decided to just go ahead and purchase them (Brando Engineers/Tobacco) and wanted to see which jeans looked good with them so that when I buy the boots, I can have an idea of which pants to buy a long with them.
So now I ask those of you who own Frye boots (Can be any style) to post up your pictures of you wearing them and please note which jeans and which style boot. If you dont mind, also include what cut the jeans are.
Thanks!
Ps: I did a search and found like 3 pictures in the "what are you wearing today" thread and figured it would be easier to just make my own thread to condense all the pictures rather than search all 1,000,000 posts in the "WAYWT" thread.
Answer:
Easier for you, but not easier for us. Keep searching. There's plenty in there.
Answer:
what ken said. plus, i don't have any frye boots, although i would like to get the brando lace-up.
Answer:
Here they are with 5EP boot cut. I tried KMW 1950's with them and the 8" hem wasn't big enough. I'm thinking you need to be in the 8.25 to 9" hem for the best fit.

Answer:
Easy if you have time, yeah. Work full time, school full time, and a load of full time extracurricular activities doesnt really heed much time to searching all day for pictures. I just figured it would be easier for someone to copy/paste a link to a picture. It would have taken the same amount of time it took you to reply. :)
At first I was in a toss-up between the pull-on and the lace-ups, but then I thought about it and I like to take my shoes off when I enter my house and even some friends houses.
Right now im liking the Brando's and the Jesse Harness.
Thanks! I searched for the pictures earlier and I couldnt find them. The boots/pants look great together! See, Its hard for me to find jeans that fit right. Im not a "slim" guy, but not fat, im an athlete and have always lifted weights. Being so, my quads/thighs require me to wear a size-up in the waist (35in) b/c if I didnt and wore my straight leg fit 34's, Id look like a cowboy.

augusto86 wears the same boots a lot, mostly with olas, on waywn
Answer:
Thanks Gaucho and everyone else. Much appreciated. Please keep the pictures coming if you have them!
Gaucho, what size hem are those bottoms?
Answer:
My boots are frye arkansas boots; in tan. Weird that everyone always wants to know what they are; I posted a fit on another forum with em and got flooded with pms.
They are ridiculously oversized, so Uh, size accordingly. I'd recommend -1. i wear 13 nikes and would probably do 11.5 fryes.
Answer:
the leg opening goes down to 8" from 8.5" at the knee on a sz 32
5010xx...technically they're tapered...but, it's not noticeable, at all
Answer:
Do you like the 8" hem with the Brandos? I had some KMW 1950 with the same size hem and thought it was too small.
Answer:
I have the same boots, usually wear 11 sneakers/boots and 10.5 dress shoes, got 10.5 Fryes and had room for a full gel work boot insole. Comfy.
Answer:
the low rise and the long, slim, straight legs of the skulls lend themselves to the sleekness of the brando boots, i think...this was a major consideration for me in buying the skulls...i wanted exactly that effect...and, in the beginning i was worried that i made a mistake...
when the jeans were brand new, the denim was very stiff and the boots would push up the material and cause some really unsightly knee-bulging...but, after some more breaking-in and a nice cold soak, the problem has reduced considerably...and, i'm really enjoying the way they work together
