Wow! Was the Whiskey Cordovan always this shade of brown, or did you do something to it? I have seen a few shoes in Whiskey and felt that it look dull and could not understand why it is popular over here. It does not have the rich colour like the #8 or the dark brown, or basically any other shell colour. Actually, if you looked at the Whiskey Lindrick 2 Dainite (Nov 2017) image in the spreadsheet, it does not look anything like these. Is it because these are antique while the one in the image is not? Maybe it is time to change the image?

Whiskey used to be lighter and have more orange/natural undertones. It has recently become darker, just like pretty much every Horween shell color.

it could also be the lighting, an overcast day makes whiskey look totally different than a bright sunny day, as well indoor lighting.

Just from the Alden website of Whiskey Cordovan, all of them seems to be a different shade. Some look good while some look like white chocolate. Was actually certain I do not like it after looking at the Whiskey Lindrick in the spreadsheet. But after looking at the image on top I am thinking twice. Not sure if I would get one considering there is half a chance that I do not like it. But I think it looks better on shoes with brogue design.

If you're the same size as BiTJ, maybe you can get a deal. Word on the street is he's thinking of selling his on.:sly:

I had to chuckle myself.. it’s obvious you C&J Marlow experts never actually owned RL Marlow Full Strap Penny last 314 Double Leather Antique loafer. Lovely loafer with some heft for those long airport walks.. Chuckle all you like..

Lindrick.. today Double Leather Antique Sole..

You should look to the standard C&J unlined Whiskey 314 last non Full Strap loafer. I think that would suit you better 12.

...hey Chip, no we weren't laughing at the idea of the shoe, it sounds great actually. We were laughing at the idealism of the post, "come on guys, all we need is 10 more." Having gone through these GMTO's yourself, you know that 10 more is like 6 months of heavy lifting...lol

^ yes I get that .. sorry .. I think the makeup would be insanely great looking.. I was mistaken in my post.. interweb misspeak.. we don’t sweat the small stuff in life .. friggin cancer invaded my home a few years ago .. wrapped it up and sent it along.

Very much anticipating Galway 2 Brown Shell Double Leather Soles.

Whiskey RL Penny makeup fan!
