Thomas Benjamin 008

Something a bit more avant garde

If you are looking for something that stands how and can get some weird look, these are choice. Great conversation pieces while being extremely versatile and durable. Thomas was amazing to work with and make the custom process extremely smooth.

More about this item

This is a custom make up from Thomas Benjamin. I discovered his brand by browsing Reddit and falling I love with his Instagram, so I reached out one of his models but with tanker straps.

Why I own this

Style

Other

I wanted the look of a tanker boot because I have felt that combat boots have always been the most comfortable for me on-foot, the tanker straps were for easy of putting on in the morning.
