Sartorially Inclined and Line Change Present "The Re-Gift Giveaway"




A little while back Rob of Line Change decided it would be a nice gesture to give away a pair of boots to some readers who helped him pick out his own pair for the holidays.  The premise was simple: hit up Macy's, find him some options and out of everyone who helped out he would pick a winner at random (read his original post here).  When I saw Rob's contest blast on Twitter I jumped at the chance to force my sartorial will on another hapless soul without thinking too much about grabbing my own pair of boots in the process.  Fate just so happens to be one cruel mistress and saw fit that I should also somehow deserve to win this competition.  When Rob contacted me about my winnings I was flattered and grateful, but at the same time a little hesitant.  I have enough footwear as it is, not to mention winter boots aren't really necessary where I live.  After a little back and forth Rob and I decided that it would be kind of funny to take my prize and offer it up to my readers as a kind of re-gifting stunt in the vein of all things "not so classy" that seem to pop up a lot during the holidays.

So here's the deal:  A pair of size 10 (which should in theory cover everyone sizes 9.5-10.5) tan Polo ranger boots are currently up for grabs.  For the uninitiated, read my thoughts on this classic here.  This isn't going to be some lame re-tweet fest that is in the interest of gaining followers on Twitter, but instead something a little more creative and, yes, just as lame (that's how I do it baby).  Taking a page out of Ivy-Style's book (what up Christian) the rules are as follows: simply complete this statement, "The First thing I'm going to do when I get my new Polo Ranger Boots is..." in the comments section or in an email (Subject: Contest) for a chance to win.  I'd appreciate if everyone only entered one submission to keep things fair and if my brother is reading this, "No Doug, you can't enter. That's called nepotism."  Once all the submissions are in, Rob and myself will judge the entries, announce the winner and ship you your new Polo ranger boots.  The contest will stay open until Jan. 11 or when my inner Scrooge McDuck rears his ugly head...whichever comes first.  Hopefully this will encourage some readers to come out of the woodwork and just get some general jackass-ery started.  Have at it and happy re-gifting to all!

Cheers,
Lawrence & Rob

  5. The First thing I'm going to do when I get my new Polo Ranger Boots is...throw on my tweed sportscoat and some A.P.C's and face any nasty weather that crosses my path. These boots are made for walking, and the kids at Pencey Prep can shove their goddam fancy shoes down their throats. No kidding.

  11. Man, too bad I'm size 12. Or else I'd put them on and go hunt bears, that sounds like something a ranger would do.

  13. I guess I would find a rugged unemployed gentleman to give them to that wears a size 10 as they are way to small for my big ole size 12 feet.

  15. The first thing I'm going to do when I get my new Polo Ranger Boots is...neck stomp my passed out step dad and blaze out the back door as I test the ranger's agility hopping yard to yard like Dead Presidents until I reach the park and realize I have lost the old man. From there I'll test their endurance on an epic cross country mission where I'll hitch from Michigan over the Canadian boarder and out West to Vancouver where I'll prepare to take in the 2010 games. In Vancouver I'll put the boots to work as rickshaw driver trafficking global patrons from one venue to another. Once the games are over, I'll treat the boots to some well earned rest before lacing them up for a cross-country ride on my new '71 Honda cb750 K1.

  22. The First thing I'm going to do when I get my new Polo Ranger Boots is... Honestly, who really cares? If I've got the boots I won't have to worry about what I'm doing in them. That's the point of them, you put them on and forget about them.

    And thanks very much for the contest!

  30. "The First thing I'm going to do when I get my new Polo Ranger Boots is... meet up with the family around the fireplace and... educate them on what these Polo Ranger Boots mean to me, give them a brief overview of the sartorial impact the boots have had, and then go to my blog, upload a couple of pictures and write a passionate post about them."

    So really I guess it's a multi-step process.
