Mixed feelings on this almost grail boot for me (speedhooks vs all eyelets). Just seems a bit too blobbly compared to wingtips. Commando sole is nice though and they will be getting a lot of wear, just wish it was more dressy

Great creasing! yeah, captoes always seem to crease well...until you get a nagging crease in the cap...annoying.

Yeah, we'll see.  Last week, I ordered the Nat. CXL WTB for 25% off using a one-time code for cardholders.  I've been "waitlisted" for items from them before and never gotten them, not because of a code, but because they oversold the items.  I'm not expecting actually getting them, but it would be a pleasant surprise :)

Passing on Aldens b/c you're waiting for your Grail...sigh.

I contacted J.Crew and they won't penalize on the order that has been placed.  They admitted it was their system problem.  Which model did you guys order?  It was a good deal.  Too bad the Shell only has crepe sole on it.
