Sweet looking boot. This in cordovan would hit the sweet spot.

That'd be similar to the j. crew in # 8

You might give the Nettleton Shop a call. I believe they have a CXL chukka (maybe not enough boot for what you want...?) and one other shoe both on double waterloc.

close. the j. crew only has brogueing on the back of the toe... not anywhere else on the boot.

This is in Cigar shell is pretty much what the Thor boot with Alden DC will look like.

Ordered a pair of captoe boots with commando soles in the Grant last, Color 8. They'll take a few months, but they look fantastic.

Those will be worth the wait.

there is a ravello version of this boot in the works with Epaulet...ETA unknown. only major difference is that there is a medallion on the toe and a pull tab.

could take another year or two for that to come to fruition sadly

speaking of ravello, this auction will be VERY interesting to watch.

Why do people bid on items so early? it only increases cost
