I heard back from LS, and they say I can order a Shannon in shell, so I placed an order with them this week for the make-up. There is a mark-up price for the Shannon in shell. I'll let you know when they arrive.
Holy Crup! That sounds fantastic. Can't wait to see them.

Anyone have pics of cognac cup?

Shannon... in shell... nope... must resist...

Personally, after owning 2-3 shell balmoral boots, I really prefer them in calf as I perceive shell to dress it down a fair amount.

You see what I did there? I talked myself OUT of a pair of Shannons!

Looks great in that pic. I haven't seen much talk of it here. I guess that is why you mentioned it....

There are only a couple of models available on this last, most notably Walcot in edwardian, burgundy and black. I just do not see many people buying it.

Looks like a bit stubbier 82 last...does that about sum it up, you think?

I don't sense a lack of love for it. Rather, it just doesn't get mentioned much. Can anyone speak to sizing the 808 relative to the 888?
