Do you own those Barker Blacks? I'll be making a trip to NYC in 2 weeks and fully intend on returning with a pair of BBs. What do you think of them?

i own three pair of barker blacks.

brown suede wingtips, brown suede skull and crossbones, black stratons

all are great so far quality wise. i am not a shoe expert, but they are all very comfortable and sharp looking. i get a lot of compliments on all but especially the loafers. i work in interior design so i have to be a little fashion forward and i think bb's are some of the coolest shoes that i have seen in a long time.

What should I expect from the Barker Black store in NYC? Do they have a good in-store stock, or do they mainly do orders?

i have only seen bb at sacks in nyc and have never been to the store. i have mail ordered one pair from saks and 2 from the main store (where Derrick Miller works.) The main store is out of a few styles. If you call them they will email you their entire catalog ahead of time and they aer very helpful. They said they have a ton of new shoes coming in September along with 6 new styles. I will probably visit in December and get a new pair then. So far I love all 3 pairs, although they are expensive I would buy them again. Their black leathers are not near as nice as their brown. hope this helps.

Just out of curiosity, do you know what models are out of stock at the Barker Black store? How long did it take for your order to arrive?
