Some of you may recall that I was checking out the Kudu Indy.  I really like the Kudu leather, but I had a hard time after seeing the Bureau boot.  So I split the difference and put a deposit on the Kudu Ultimate Indy from Leather Soul.  Oki stated that they expect a restock in about two or three months.  Just an FYI for anyone interested.

Wow. Just, wow.

So excited that I have a pre-order on with Leffot for this Daytripper.

Best decision I have made for some time. (Yes, it's on the Grant last)

this is actualy different than the dover (the dover seam is more curved and goes further back...see here)233

Just wanted to share that I was sent the navy suede indy from Leffot in a 9d (I have a pair of 9d barrie cordovan boots that fit fairly well) I returned them in favor of the 8.5d marble suede indy. Got them tonight, and they are amazing. Going to be my go to for jeans/lighter colored slacks this summer. Out of 4 or 5 pairs of aldens this is my new fave.

 

Also, I might have been the last one to snag a reserved pair of the Ravello day trippers in 9d a few weeks ago, hopefully the grant will work out, otherwise I might have to check myself into a mental hospital bc those things are gorgeous!

I wonder if it will be the version below, or the earlier version with the whiter contrast stitching. Prefer the one below over the latter.

Although after reading Tom's comments, the darker stitching is from wax and oil

Depending on the day, at least. I also managed to reserve a pair of Day Trippers in 9D a few weeks ago. Phewf!
