Shoe brush, dual action
A two-sided shoe brush - the smaller brush is for applying shoe polish, the larger one for polishing.
Jalas FX2 insoles
The insole of the latest Finnish army combat boot is a giant leap forward from the old stuff. This is yet another step forward, with an additional cushion in the ball of the foot. "The best thing since sliced bread", as one of our employees has been heard exclaiming. Repeatedly.
Tallipoika leather grease, 500 ml
A large half a litre bucket of leather grease, just as good as any fine brand, but without a fancy name and thus cheaper.
Palc honey leather grease, 50 ml
Proper grease for all kinds of leathers. Essential for maintaining footwear, for instance. 50 ml in a small tin. Smells a bit like honey. Not recommended for anything with a membrane (e.g. Gore-Tex).
Tuisku original anti-slip pads
Rubber thingies with metal studs which you pull over boots to increase traction on slippery ground. Available in different sizes.
SealSkinz Walking Thin Mid Socks
Like with any part of clothing, it's only sensible to separate different layers for footwear too. These offer the waterproof, breathable membrane in sock form. In short, with SealSkinz socks you can turn any ol' boot or piss skater into waterproof footwear. Properly made, well tested, tried and true, SealSkinz is a brand you can trust!
Särmä Worker Flat Cap, brown
A basic flat cap, and that's what's so nice about these; timeless colour and form, no flashy logos or ugly details. It's a hat you could wear with anything. At the same time this cap will demilitarize anything else you are wearing. Just add braces to your trousers and you look all ready for a proper bar fight!
Särmä Raw Denim jeans, dark blue
If you're looking for tough jeans without any corners cut, look no further. Despite being starched denim, the Särmä Raw Denim jeans fit you really well once you've broken them in, much like a good pair of leather boots. Soon enough you won't want to take these off!
Särmä jump boots
Bullshit free hi-leg boots in brown. Apart from the sole these are much like the US Army jump boots from the Second World War. Very nice quality, these aren't just for show, they are good enough for real use - made in Estonia just over the Gulf of Finland!
Jalas shoe laces, polyester, black
Traditional black shoe laces. Made by the Finish company Jalas; these are proper quality and will not catasthropically disintegrate within a week.
Särmä leather belt, 40 mm
Proper no-nonsense leather belts are increasingly difficult to find these days, well at least until we started making these! This here is just that, a proper no-nonsense leather trouser belt, strong leather with a classical single prong brass buckle.
Swiss puttees, surplus
This is just what the beeping, blinking and hectic modern world needs. Put a stop to all that shit and practice Zen every morning by donning on a proper real deal army surplus long puttees before leaving home! No joke, these are Swiss made! Because of course they are!
Savotta 101 backpack - Harri Koskinen, black
Hey you civilian! Here's a joint project of military kit manufacturer Savotta and designer Harri Koskinen, both Finnish entities. Basically this means we're talking about a civilian-compatible canvas & leather daypack made essentially to military specs.
Bullshit free ankle boots made by the Estonian Foxberg to our specs. Apart from the sole these are much like the US Army garrison boots from the Second World War. Very nice quality, these aren't just for show, they are good enough for real use.
No need to try to reinvent the wheel when you already have something as cool as this, taken straight from the books of history. What separates our ankle boots from the many other modern offerings is the amazing lack of bullshit features on them: no zippers or polyester padding, paper-thin leather or pre-worn look, these are honest classic boots. To keep the cost to reasonable levels these do have a glued on sole, which does the job well. These are very likely of much higher quality than similarly priced "fashion" boots.
- Glued on rubber sole with grippy tread pattern - probably not the gentlemanliest one out there (they don't make smoother soles in any good lasts goddammit!), but very practical. No real cushioning on the sole.
- Upper made of smooth leather, the kind that actually soaks in polish and grease. It'll get a nice patina in use and will last a long time. The leather gets notably more supple with use!
- Apart form the modern sole, the whole boot is modeled after the classic US service boot of World War 2. This means the general construction is pretty damn solid.
- No lining or membranes whatsoever, these are pretty straightforward. Means they dry faster, and you can regulate warmth by playing with different socks.
- In the olden days boots like this were often coupled with gaiters or puttees in military use. We have taken this into account with the fit of the shaft. So YES, wear them rags with these!
- Cap toe construction, but no safety features.
- Cushion insoles included. These are pretty much the same as on the Norwegian M77 combat boots, which come from the same factory.
Thanks to the solid construction and grippy sole, these can actually be used outside the city too. For those looking for a traditional unlined leather boot for outdoor use, this might be the ticket. When you get back to town, just polish them up before hitting the pub.
Being mainly hand-crafted from real animal, these might have occasional little signs of manufacturing process and/or natural imperfections. These will blend in anyway as the boots get some kilometres behind them, so nothing to worry about.

Työn jälki on hyvä, yhdessä nahan laadun kanssa ei aiheuta kritiikkiä suhteessa hintaan. Käyttömukavuus selkeästi parempi vaihtamalla pohjalliset Jalas fx-malliin.
Miinusta pohjan rakenteesta sekä ulkonäösta. Omaan makuuni pohja voisi olla jäykempi, täysmustana ei tyylikäs. Pohja suhteellisen pehmeä ja voimakkasti kuvioitu joten todenäköisesti liukkailla pitävä. Vaelluskäyttöön löytyy parempia vaihtoehtoja, tosin hintakin silloin korkeampi. Iso plussa tietynlaisesta kunnianhimosta Varustelekalle, laatua tässä on selkeästi haettu. Miinuksista huolimatta en kenkiä palauttanut.

+ Very good styling, my favorite pair of boots as far as looks are concerned
+ Excellent leather uppers, which clean up real nice with a little polish and a horse-hair shoe brush
- Soles wear away ridiculously quickly, can tear where they flex with your foot
- Insoles are not durable enough and react very poorly to moisture.
Long version:
Excellent boots, right up until they weren't.
Have had mine for five months, and have already worn out the soles to the point that holes have torn in the sole of the right boot, and the left boot probably isn't far behind. In addition, the insides have some serious moisture build-up issues, and the insoles have more or less melted into the top of the sole, which I didn't notice at first due to the gel-inserts I was using. I've not put them through any particularly hard use, just wearing them like I would any other shoes to work or to run errands. I do admit though, that maybe 5 days out of seven per week most weeks I was wearing these boots. So, while they weren't seeing hard use, they were seeing frequent use.
The leather on the other hand is still in excellent condition, so much so that I am considering finding a cobbler to inquire about the cost of repairs. If the issues with the rubber sole and the insole can be resolved, however, I can easily see myself buying another pair since they were great while they lasted. They just didn't last long enough for the price.

Imevät uutena melkoisesti rasvaa, eli jos purkin pohjalla on vain jämät, kantsii tilata samalla lisää. Alkuperäinen värikin häipyy aika nopsaan, eli lankkia on hyvä myöskin olla valmiina. Tosin itse olen huomannut parhaaksi aineeksi Pallivahan, antaa syvänruskean pinnan ilman lankkiakin. Jos kengät ovat olleet kunnolla saastaiset, olen pessyt marseille-saippualla. Sen sisältämä öljy pitää nahan pehmeänä.
Lesti on leveä ja kun kenkä saa vähän liikuntaa, se alkaa muotoutua ja asettua. Eli se miltä uusi kenkä tuntuu kaupassa, ei ole sama kuin miltä hyvin sisäänajettu kenkä tuntuu. Kengässä ei ole ilmeisesti mitään kummempia muovivahvikkeita. Vajaa 2 vuoden jälkeen kenkä on edelleen mallissaan.
Oikein mainiot vanhan ajan varsikengät ilman turhia kikkailuja. Ainoa pieni naputtamisen aihe on, että nauhat voisivat olla asteen tummemmat, mutta kyllä ne siitä varmaan menossa vähän vaihtavat väriä. Eivät muuten vaihda ja päät menevä jossain kohtaa huonoksi. Samaten pohjalliseen kului reikä ja laitoin Jalakset tilalle.
Kilsoja tulee talvella pahimmillaan 100 km 2 viikossa pelkästä työmatkasta jos en käytä muita kenkiä välillä. Vein nyt 2 talven jälkeen suutarille, ompeleet tarvitsivat vähän fiksausta yms. Suutari kehui heti kengät nähdessään et nää on hyvät. Hyvää kenkää kantsii huoltaa ja suutari pysyy leivässään toisin kuin roskiin menevän kiinakaman kanssa.

Suggested improvements:
-using thicker leather
-using harder rubber for the soles. They are pretty worn off at the ball of the foot and after a year.
-ditching the “rubber stitching” on the soles. I makes them use kinda cheap. A goodyear welt would be great and I would pay more fro an MK III including that.

-Ompeleet ovat kestäneet, vaikka kengät ovat olleet mettäkäytössä ja niillä on painettu menemään rakkakivikossa.
-Kenkiin käytetty nahka on laadukasta ja kestää kovemmankin kulutuksen kunhan muistaa hoitaa kenkiä käytön jälkeen.
-Vedenpitävyys on sen hetken mitä lankki ja rasva pysyy kengän nahassa. Kengät kuivaa suht nopeasti verrattaessa kalvollisiin vaelluskenkiin. Ennemmin pidän märkiä kalvottomia kenkiä jalassa kuin kalvollisia.
-Pohjien liimaukset ovat pettäneet kertaalleen, mutta kengät ovat olleet muussakin käytössä kuin kaupungilla patsastelussa. Suutari hoiti pohjat paikalleen 10e laskuun. Pohjien vaihto onnistuu myös suutareilta.

Paksu matsku vaatii vaan hiton pitkän sisäänajon, mutta kestääpähän sitten. Pohja ei suostu kulumaan. Edes kengännauhat eivät suostu katkeamaan käytössä, mihin olen tottunut yleensä kenkien kanssa.
