Sorry @Papa Doble and @mdubs , I'm gonna have to bail out on the C&J whisky shell MTO offerings. Ed just gave me a great price on these whisky shell boots so I went this direction instead. (Spoiler tagging since not C&J)

FredG those are badass to your collection; heard of Buday but never tried any of their shoes. Lets know how they compare to Crocketts with time.

nice! I've been seeking those Buday's or the wingtips since I drooled over them on pantaclothing, but my size has been out.

I hope some of y'all can get another Harlech order going because every time I wear mine I wonder why I don't wear them more often.

Guys, is this whiskey shell boot happening? Have the specs been finalized?

You guys are too kind... Here is my pair from the last run for design critiquing and comparison purposes... ;-) I like the Blind Eyelets on these alot. If they had exposed eyelets, I would have definitely switched the laces to Alden Flat Waxed laces, but these work well on this. The only thing I would change, if possible, is a Brown Danite sole versus the Black. Don't know if C&J has them though! Other than that, with the midsole, the Danite is a dream and should last a few decades. [COLOR=A74345] [/COLOR]

I heard from Lauren at C&J. She's still waiting to hear back from the factory. Apparently she's usually only allowed to do whiskey shell orders once every 6 months or so, and she's just about to make another order -- perhaps it's the Skye 2?

EDIT: Lauren did say they have a "great deal" of dark brown shell available throughout the year. I know people signed up for whiskey, but I thought I'd throw that out there.


I do not have any news to report since this post 5 days ago.
