These are eye-popping.

Is this color limited? What do you guys think about this on a camp moc?

That color is not limited to that shoe (if that's what you mean). The camp moc hasn't really had a lot of love on this thread. I think the camp moc options on the Rancourt site are pretty subdued. Here are a few interesting makeups posted at Taylor Stitch. Baseball stitching looks good on the camp moc IMO. The Cavalier would definitely be brighter than these.


Navy CXL


Olive CXL

I meant limited availability (like certain colors of toj if you're familiar). That color look perfect though. Still trying to dial in exactly what I want. Not sure if camp moc is too plain for such a louder color or if I should stick to ranger. There's a different less thick tan/honey colored sole, correct?

I am debating between the Cavalier Wheat CXL and the Dark Brown CXL, which one should I go for in terms of versatility? I have never seen a cavalier wheat in real life but from the pictures a few pages back I think it's a pretty solid color to go with jeans/shorts/chinos/trousers, right?

Think it's pretty difficult to say one is more versatile than the other. I agree that it's a tough decision, but I don't think you can go wrong with either. The Cavalier should be a bit brighter and more casual, and it may be the better option for summer with shorts. You might want to think more about what works well with your color palette / wardrobe.

It shouldn't be limited. It may be a pretty bright color for a camp moc. It looks good on the boat shoe on the Rancourt site. I think an unlined ranger moc with a thinner sole is not a long way from the look of a camp moc, but may be a better design for the bright green.

There are three honey colored soles.

1) The thick plantation crepe (like on the snuff suede on the previous page)
2) The thinner rubber camp moc
3) The Reltex Lactae Hevea (RLH), which is the only one with a heel.

Size down from 13D to 13B.

^ sweet shoes,

one question did you size down because it's loafer and for a better fit?

I wear 13D in ranger moc (lined) and a bit loose going sockless, after consulting with Kyle, 13B it is for loafer.
Even right now it's not as tight as I have imagined. Maybe because it's sockless.... Now I'm thinking about shell ones....

I went tts with my lined ranger moc and it's a bit loose going sockless as well. I guess I will need to consult with Kyle on my loafer sizing. but thanks!

Congrats man, they look great!

But, can you please explain this sizing thing to me? So 13 D in ranger moc was a bit loose w/o socks. But how did you get from there to 13 B? Did you consider 13 C? Did you think about 12.5 C?

Hard to tell from the photo, but it looks like you could have gone 12.5 C or maybe even B?

tv2177, I fully agree with Kashiwa, don't think you can go terribely wrong with either choice.
As I have a hard time pairing mid brown shoes myself, the Snuff Suede is another try, I would suggest the dark brown option to you, not saying the Cavalier Wheat is not as much of a nice color.

VLSI, I think the camp moc looks nice and I am kind of surprised it doesn't get the love the ranger moc and beefroll receives.
Truth be told I even think the camp moc looks nicer than the beefroll but this might be I am still a young guy and the beefroll might be a bit too conservative/grown up for that I can imagine it paired nicely with my current wardrobe.

Kashiwa, the LH sole is available in honey?
Do you have a picture you can share?

I forgot to include the heeled plantation crepe sole in there, so in total 4 honey colored soles.

Any pictures? I found examples of the other three Too many options when you go MTM!!!

I believe that these are an option for MTO.

Was mocassin construction first used with outdoor shoes such as boat shoes and later on adapted to loafers?
