any up date on the open date for your NYC shop?

We hate to be moving the opening date, probably mid-October.

A Baltimore boot maybe the 80450, then Bourbon or Armagnac for the toe cap and the vamp, and then this football print for the heel.

or

A Jumper boot maybe the 80184, then Bourbon or Armagnac for the toe cap and the vamp, then this football print for the heel, and a medallion wingtip.

Which Carmina last is closest to the Alden Plaza? I have pictures of these shell cordovan chukkas that I want to do in Armagnac or Bourbon shell with a similar last. These are on the Plaza last in a C width and I'd love to get as close as I can in a different shade of shell.

Is the Rain the closest to this, or is the Rain even more chiseled than this? Appreciate any thoughts!

Rain is most similar. It's a soft square like plaza.

80488? Although boot season is just about done in Australia.
Or a balmoral or jumper boot with 2 different textures, like football print and calf.

Yes that is what I had suggested.

A Baltimore boot maybe the 80450, then Bourbon or Armagnac for the toe cap and the vamp, and then this football print for the heel.

or

A Jumper boot maybe the 80184, then Bourbon or Armagnac for the toe cap and the vamp, then this football print for the heel, and a medallion wingtip.

This way there is contrast between the football print and the smooth calf.

I love my Detroit PTBs. How about a Detroit PTB on double JR with the hatch bourbon (or whatever color there is)?

Nice laeathers! Is it possible to do a single MTO (customized order)? And what is the difference between this hatch grain and the "Natural Essex print" on your website?
