Sorry B! I know that feeling all too well. You well get lucky following these threads eventually. The shoes are amazing, I would have eventually purchased at full price or mto'd it.
I had a feeling they were as I vaguely remember your post, but that's why I figured I would ask just to make sure they were from odd stock. Great way to get a marvelous pair of shoes. Look forward to seeing your pictures of their maiden voyage, Congrats!!!

I was very pleased to be able to acquire this model especially at that price.

Skaok/ other SF members: I'm looking to pick up the beautiful Carmina jodhpurs, and looking for sizing advice. I'm a wide 9.5-10 US - 9 inca fit quite well - should go with 9 in Forest, or with 9.5 for extra room?

An Adelaide has the throat inset, whereas the reverse Adelaide has the throat sewn on the top. A very subtle difference.

Adelaides usually have a cap toe, but previous reverse Adelaides have been plain toe.

Leaves, would I be right in assuming this will be the case again?

Thanks Roger, I figured it was something with the throat. So even though this has a plain toe, the inset throat makes it a reverse, right?

It's only been a bit over a month since my MTO Galway order was placed but impatience is getting the better of me and I just wish they were here already.

I'm doing better than normal. I have mostly put them out of my mind as I feel like the rush of MTO's is going to create to a bit of a logistical bottle neck. Tomorrow I might feel differently though ;)

I just ordered more EGs to try and stem the impatience. It hasn't worked.

Has SKOAKTIEBOLAGET ever carried the Chelsea suede in chocolate that BB carries and if so will they ever carry it again, @Leaves

EDIT: it's an EG that is referring to above....


My apologies if this was rather rude for a 1st post in a thread. This seems to be a wonderful service and I was just excited about a potential buy, hope I didn't cause any offense...
