Eck, I agree that Layer-0 has evolved well. Each season they have tiny tweaks, nothing drastic.
But they have had good designs and quality from the start.

The 6 Holes in full black cordovan are on my wish list!

My guess (based on the 988's I have) is that the slanted shaft eventually becomes straight over time as the leather on the front of the shaft creases up and breaks in. When I tried on these 988's the leather at the front above the vamp bunched up a bit which I'm guessing is intentional, to create more creasing over time.

Guidi dropping a chelsea style boot for AW13, should be a big hit with the SF crowd.

Thanks Eck for sharing new GUIDI boots. I think a perfect boot for the office, because GUIDI is so comfortable and this style looks clean and wearable

I will check it asap by my local store (www.hide-m.com), mabye i will do a pre-order. but first i need more informations ... .

Located in LA, they are cool

PM jet for more info. I had a pair of their boots long time ago. Sized .5 too big...I really liked them otherwise. I think jet still has the same pair, ankle strap boots.

Should have clicked on the brand link at the store.. HTC = Hollywood Trading Company apparently.

"Due to its cooperation with a prestigious Italian manufacturer of handicraft and 'made possible the creation of accessories with a vintage look and the rough beauty, creating an aesthetic staff and making the HTC brand for fans of vintage."
