I love these! I think I want the exact ones as that bourbon shell is just too beautiful
How do you find sizing loafers on the forest last is? Half size down?

For bourbon shell, do you use Saphir cordovan cream color “Fawn 19”, or just depend on the colorless cream?
Would the color cream make bourbon more vivid or not that much?

How is your shell so navy? Mine is almost like a teal color. Patina I assume? I hope mine eventually end up looking like yours.

I think that's the standard Horween navy shell color? At least, my yanko navy shell shoes are exactly the same color straight out of the box

the lighting conditions make a big difference, most of the time they look almost black.

I bought this TTS and they fit very well. This is a stock model, so you can order online and exchange (free of charge I believe) for a different size

I don’t have stacks of them. However when the mto weekend pairs arrive you may disagree! ??

I was seriously thinking about it since I love long wing bluchers and I love boots. When I had it in the 3D tool during the weekend custom deal I was thinking to myself... that's really weird looking. I guess it's just because I've never seen one before so my brain just couldn't handle it so I did a balmoral instead.

I haven’t shared these since I’ve been busy, but here they go. This is from the MTO weekend prior to the 3D tool. Took pictures in different lighting. In retrospect, I’ve probably should’ve gone with tonal upper stitching but I still like them and on foot it’s not obvious. There’s definitely some more gaudy-looking boots out there in our bubble of footwear.
loden suede, Oscar last, it’s supposed to be dark gray upper stitching, double JR soles w stormwelt and hard fudging, green lining & light chestnut edges.
