Just got a hardly worn pair of the Marlow penny loafers which I'd been thinking about ever since I saw this post. They were a little dry when I got them so I've followed the instructions in the Leffot video and they seem to have come out really well - the sun hasn't risen yet over here so I've not seen them yet in natural light. I'll take pics later but I'm a happy camper! The brown on these is really special.
Please excuse the lower quality of the phone camera pics. Here they are:
Picked up 2 pair of the Prescott model that Namor posted a while back on this thread - unfortunately, not my size. I'm a 10 and these are both 9D. I'll probably put on B&S or eBay in the next day or so but feel free to PM if interested.
Found them in a store near my house. Both pairs appear to be new but for some scuffing (from being tossed about) that I polished out and some shop wear on the soles.
...to Marlow wingtip owners...if I wear 5.5UK C&J 348 and AE 7D Strand, is the RL Marlow 7D US (their smallest offering) .5 size too big and I am just out of f&*&in luck? Thanks in advance...just getting ready for the Private Sale mad rush ... SA mentioned that they have an upcoming 25% sale but will confirm if shells are included and the details of the Private Sale (40% plus ?% kicker)..will post for details

I wear 6E on the 348 and 6.5E/7D On the AE 5 last and the RL C&J are roomy for me. Rationalization works great but buyer's remorse is worse. I've wanted the Lindrick's but 6.5 in C&J is too big.

I was told in Dec. to come back the first week of May for 40% off the Marlow wingtips.

Thank you ..exactly what I thought..I might cancel my planned visit to the RL store tomorrow for fitting, knowing the most likely results...F&*k F&*k F&*k .... Still looking for other Blucher/Shortwing Brown Shell options. Edited by Thanks SF (a new me) - 3/23/12 at 1:16pm
Saw these Poller boots in a store today for $420 in size 8.5 and 11. If anyone wants them, I can proxy.

Could not find any pics of these ANYWHERE on the web, so took my own... I also don't know what last they are on unfortunately but so far the guess is 325
