Depending on the color I am still interested in a seamless wholecut in calf, would be fine with navy/blue or burgundy/red/oxblood, an off black-ish color might also be fine.
Can't do Norwegian stitching however.

In this case, I wonder if u guys still interested in seamless wholecut of calf?
Still interested, depending on color...Norwegian stitching will be a nonstarter for me though, which sounded like the majority's preference previously. So I suppose mark me as tentative on it.

It’s catch 22, the problem with having so many boots, is I only get to wear exceptional ones like this occasionally. 1st world problems.

Might have missed something. What's EG? Norwegian stitching is a definite no for me, but fine with the HAF sole, and open to preferences on lasts.

@masterphotog I love green shoes too but find it extremely difficult to pair with office wear from Monday to Friday. I only have experience with the Carmina Loden Green Shell Cordovan Wingtip on Rain last. Besides office wear, i also find it difficult to paired with Khakis as i find the contrast too severe. So far i find it works well only with denim or perhaps corduroy. What would you wear your green shell chukkas with?

Pairing these with denim is the best choice, simply because the green chukkas are excellent for a casual outing. They're also surprisingly nice with darker, heavy wool slacks - great time of year for that here in the Midwest!

Agreed, office wear is minimized, these are broke out on the weekends and after work. A well lit coffee shop or tavern is a great place to get many glances, they definitely break the ice and command respect due to their "out of the box" presence.
