Darlton PTB

[Richard Pryor]

Where could I buy these? I'm a size 13D. Already have the penny loafer and the wingtip, so wanted to complete the collection.

Thanks.

Thanks.

I just got a pair during the sale via a direct call to the Mansion in NYC

If you call around to polo stores (the bigger ones like NY and Cali) and ask for the plain toe version, a lot of them seem to have it. However when you ask for the shoe, ask for the Marlow, not the Darlton. For some unknown reason, the shoe is referred to as the Marlow in stores and the Darlton online, same shoe. Off-hand I am pretty sure the San Francisco store had them in stock, not positive though. Just call around, you will find them.

I would try J. Crew, Brooks Brothers, and The Gap, or possibly even try Alden directly

I cant make any sense of this. Are you offering a substitute? The Gap?

There's no sense to be made with his comment. He's either high, doesn't understand what you are asking about, or is joking with you.

Crockett & Jones makes the shoe especially for Ralph Lauren.

Follow my advice or Gauss17's and you will find the shoe--'nuff said.

macarthur usually doesnt joke in the usual SF manner so thats i was puzzled. I already have the ptb. im just waiting for the penny, which is in route, to complete the trifecta: wingtip+ptb+penny=

note: not a fan of the tassel

RL definitely still has them in the system. Hell, I've even seen them on Rugby window displays

Sorry--I read too quickly and mistook you for the OP

I'm gonna have to become a tassel evangelist... I had a biz trip recently, wore my tassels to the airport with raw denim, shirt and blazer, wore them to meetings two days later with a suit and then to the airport (Darlton wingtips were the other shoe I used). I find them very versatile Also, that was makewayhomer, not mac

 

[sportin_life]

I've been looking for these also. Do most RL's carry the PTB's?

Interestingly, they pulled the Wingtips off the website today too...

That's weird--the pennies and tassels are still there.
