I have a pair of the 645 like that, surprisingly very light and comfy out of the box. Love the Parkhurst lug soles.

Loving the 645 last. Really hope we get some more leathers for them like the butter rum rambler or some waxy commander. Fits great. Went half size down from my Brannock.

Really love the 645. I wanted to get the Caswell Shaw but they discontinued it.

Incredible detailed unboxing and breakdown thank you!

I found the 618 last much closer to the 602M last than the 645 in shape, appearance and fit. I took the same size in 618 but needed 1/2 size up for 645. In all honesty, I prefer the fit of the 602M to either 618 or 645.

Your review is spot on with these boot. The leather is top notch. I bought the same boots on the seconds sale, in my true to size 10.5 D. I own the 645 in 10 D and 10.5 D the difference in the fit feel is negligible. The toe width and ball of the foot is a little narrow for me. You're right it would be nice if the 645 had more of a Munson shape to it.

That’s a beautiful-tough looking boot.  It reminds me of an upgraded Iron Ranger. The heel stack and sole look perfect in dimension and proportion. Congrats on a sweet pair of slick boots. Cheers

Great review and Great vid, thanks!  I have a pair of these boots and totally agree with all you say. Mine are plain toe. The fit is fantastic. You and I take the same size and your sizing is spot on.. They were comfortable right out of the box day one. As for comparison to the Blacksmith's, yes similar and with better quality all around with Parkhurst. Just look at the hardware. I have both and the Parkhurst wins hands down...
.A step up if you will. Not a fan of the commando lug style of sole...I'm more of a smooth 700 Tygum military type style if you want to go "military" inspired boot.
This in Kudu or Elk would be fantastic...

Love the 645, and I’ll miss the 602m. I do have a pair in the 618 stitchdown and good year, and I’m not a fan of the last in either format. Just doesn’t work well with my foot, so I’ll be focused on any 645 releases.

Nice.  It would be nice to describe the difference between their 618 gyw vs their 618 stichdown

Ordered a pair of these in the tobacco veg tan from the Seconds & Samples page a few days ago while they were still running the end of year sale just to see how this last fits. Also picked up a factory sample pair of the salvia horsebutt Richmonds on the 602M last since it does seem like that last is going away and I'm not a fan of the 618. I went down a half size from my usual 602M size and came to the realization that I've had my sizing wrong for the previous four pairs I've bought in the last few years. The other pairs fit but they are looser than they need to be, which was my gut reaction with the very first pair I bought but I just kept rolling with that size anyway.

I have these in the plain toe from seconds and they are 270 stitch which I found odd cause the tobacco in both plain and cap toe and this mahogany cap toe  are all 360.
Doesn't matter to me either way I just thought it odd that only the plain toe mahogany is 270.
