That particular pair is on the Grant last so you'd have to figure out what size you needed on that last. I could be wrong but in general I dont see why Steven/Leffot would have a problem with pre-ordering a specific non stocked size since the order hasn't been placed yet so in theory he could add whatever sizes he wanted to his run. Just like the Kathy at Alden DC or Tom #8 shortwing order, if enough people express their desire to spend $650 on some shoes things tend to happen.

Come on guys please email Steven! Let make it happen!

I just love the rich color of #8

Wait, are we talking about ravello captoes on a grant or a barrie last?

 

[geoffmartin17]

I'd be in for the ravello boots. How can we make it happen?

Looking great. Nothing like some whiskey on a Saturday.

As soon as some retailer say's they're going to make them I'll sign up immediately!


Here is the Leffot pair again...

I emailed Steven and he asked for my size in case they decide to do another run so if other SFers are interested in a Ravello captoe boot as well maybe you all could email him too and we could make this boot happen again! (for less than the pair at Tassels would be due to them coming in internationally).

I have the Leffot version - they are on the Grant last. I still come back to the Tassel's version on the Barrie (Steven at Leffot ordered them on the Barrie and the factory shipped them on the Grant, sort of like the Roy boot starting out on the Barrie and moving to the Trubalance - I guess the customer isn't always right, eh?).

And no one else shares my fascination with a Scotch Grain shell? The LWB pair that Tassel's made up are high on my list.

 

[randomkoreandude]

well hopefully steve can do a reorder on barrie and they wont mess up

i would be in only on barrie, grant does not work for me.

 

[Cacatfish]

I would be in for Barrie also. Would have killed for the tassels version a year or two back.
