THESE ARE BEAUTIFUL! This is coming from a guy who hates black shoes. I would definitely hop on a pre-order of these and wait the 12-18 months if need be.
I seem to recall Tom specifically saying that they hate this question and won't answer it over the phone.
Happy New Year 2012
Cordovan Chukka ...

I wonder why? Can't check inventory? Seems strange.
The best way to check if it's Chromexcel is to push with your fingertip from the inside of the shoe. Does it lighten when you do that? If so, it's Chromexcel.
But then he'd have to return them when he finds out they're not CXL.
Brown J Crew LWB, Winn Perry CXL PTB, LS Ultimate Indy CXL.
That looks like it escaped its purple dye paint job.
going back a few posts to the QC issue with the whiskey LWB and the missing perforations in the brogue die, i just realized that my new #8 LWB from Leffot w antique edgetrim have the same issue on both shoes (one missing perforation on each shoe).
Wouldn't this technically qualify them as seconds?
yeah weird that looks like standard #8 (IE AE, C&J) not Aldens purple version

Not sure what your point is, first CXL can be dyed to be lighter or darker (my CXLs are "natural" color). Second, if he ordered them and they were not CLX I would demand that Crew pay the return shipping.
Maybe for a pair of Lobbs, but these don't cost Lobb money.
