Thank you sir.

Tricker's Mogano cordovan.

I figured Mogano was similar to #8 but this makes it look closer to #4 - any comment on that?

I bought them second hand, but the seller said "San Fransisco". Not sure if he meant Alden of SF. Should these have the Alden of SF logo on them, if so? Unfortunately, this pic is from my B&S ad. I know I'll never get to replace them, and that saddens me.

mine definitely do not look like typical mogano. they look like a dark ravello or teak.

Yep. They're pretty close in color to a pair of teak I've got.

Teak but the flash makes them look lighter.

Mogano

thanks - I asked Trickers and it seems like some of the recent ones labeled "Mogano" are indeed Teak

What's the model number inside them? It's possible SF sold them, but that is a model usually done by DC. Since they are connected it's possible the purchase was made at SF and the shoes came from DC or were shipped for the customer to the store.

Love these! What sole is on these... some sort of commando?

I'm organizing the next round of GMTOs over on /r/goodyearwelt which will include a bunch of awesome Horween Shell Cordovan colors this time around (Dark Cognac, Whiskey, Mahogany, Brown, Color 8, Black, Navy, etc). I'd be interested to see if he can do this type of commando sole again.

A few photos of my /r/goodyearwelt GMTO of the Carmina Cognac Shell Cordovan Plain Toe Bluchers. Incredibly pleased with how these turned out. The color is almost like a Ravello shade. Detroit last is great for my foot too which I was a bit worried about.

Interesting, those may actually be Ravello then... The Cigar is model number 24802.
