I had a DHL arrival today as well, but that will have to wait.
Until then, I wore these yesterday (pictures in the failing light):

This is good to know, I also was curious. Did you pay an extra fee for the sourcing of the leather?

It's always great when you find a pair you've been eyeing appear in the second-hand market. Are your trousers bedcord?

No the trousers are from Naked & Famous...."Brown Heavy Velvet Twill a heavyweight 100% cotton Japanese velvet. The velvet is woven to be soft and smooth but with distinct diagonal twill lines." Love the color and texture, nice fit also.

Ohhh, I remember seeing these during Tate+Yoko recent sale, but my size was sold out. I assumed they looked much better in person and they do, great pick up!

They did an ill fated Kirby Allison collaboration and I think may have been a slight excess of leather left. There was going to be a group mto but was a problem on some of the hides so it never came off (en masse).

Well, my amaretto and Russian hatchgrain Calway MTO has arrived! Please ignore the super messy table.

Yes - it’s about halfway between calf and shell.

HUGE Thank You goes out to Styleforum and @Carmina for making this special pair possible. I am over the moon happy.

Does the bronze/orangey tones appear in indoor lighting?
They’re very nice boots. I’d be interested in seeing how they age.
