Caswell x Stridewise: "The Feral Swine" - Cognac Jabari Wild Boar

The grain is insane. Just like the product photo. Definitely a jaw dropper. Out of box with brown-yellow color. Applied very thin beeswax and it turned into intense cognac color overnight. Ordered 1/2 size smaller due to the roomy toe box and it fits perfect. The Morris last is great. Roomy toe box but still elegant. Stitching is top quality. The chrome tanned leather is glove soft. No break in period at all. This is a top-quality product. Waited 9 months but happy with my babies.

I recently received my pair, sized correctly per Kevins advice. I love the boots, the Morris last is a wider toe box than my Thursday Captains and gives me all day walking comfort. Easy break in with the boar tannage - it seems like a tough leather and yet has a glove like softness. Color is wonderful, lots of depth with light highlights. What can I say, I can't take them off!

Sizing: on the Morris Last I went down a half size from my usual heritage boot size (Truman, Bordon, Thursday). I would not recommend dropping any more than a half size and I'm sure that my usual size would not be too big. The Grant Stone Leo Last is in turn more roomy than this Morris.

Leather: I expected the leather to be a little flimsy but none of it. The temper is good and surprisingly even, and the pigskin lining adds to the robust feel. There's a waxy finish too. The colour is rich - how often do you see on line photos which have been digitally enhanced only to be met by disappointment when opening the box. Not here.

Quality: This is make or break for boots. It's no good having great leather and design if the end product is poorly constructed. I could find no faults with mine.

Kevin and Nick have put together a great package. Let's have another please.

My first experience with Caswell Anderson just say it won’t be the last. I own many (too many) boots. There’s nothing in my collection that matches the uniqueness of the leather. It’s different enough without being too attention grabbing. Half down from brannock worked. Very little break in w this leather for me.

Very well made. Hiwever the sizing is not correct. I ordered a 10 and it fits way to big.
Its a shame because I waited so long.
