Not stinking. Sorry but I’m not having it. Loose yes. Wonky yes. Stinking never.

I think this thread is veering way off course

Going to have agreed on 90% of his current output. I still love it, but you can’t say the style hasn’t wained a bit.

It’d have been around the time Fully Flared came out, because I remember my first Rollersnakes catalogue having the Lakai Kostons with the Fully Flared colourway.
These ones:
Steve Olson is someone I recognise as a legend but is a real gap in my knowledge. Happy to be educated!
Ha my bad thought it was 7.75 I was replying to!
