Hi Folks,

A new longwing blucher make-up will be available in the upcoming weeks. This sku will also be on the leo last, using Black Vegano calf with matching, pre-stitch split reverse welts and leather sole stained black.

Cheers.

I'd beat up the cotton laces on my Ottawa boots pretty badly, so I swapped in some from TZ Laces - they are 5mm x 140mm. They're awesome, and a perfect length (I found the included laces a little long). They were only $7 delivered (though they took a while to ship from Europe)







I've put a LOT of miles on these things - they're holding up great!

Very pleasing design. Do you have a plan to add 6.5D for guys with small feet :<?

Quote: We plan on adding a 6.5D by mid 2017, along with some E widths in certain sku.

When we take the pre-orders for the likes of shell cordovan, we can also make 6.5D.

Thanks,
WG

any plan to offer more calf in shoes, seeing most of the longwing and blucher are on CXL, also any chance for regular shell line up or just pre-order only for now? As to sizing, are you basically saying it fits similar to Alden barrier, i.e. if I'm 9.5D US normally I should take 9D US.

Sizing is the same as Barrie, though the fit/shape is a little different (they're both great for me).

If your Brannock is 9.5D, then 9D should work well. Have you tried Alden Barrie before?

The black longwing with black welt and outsole stain is now available online. This shoe is also using the Vegano Calf leather with a leather outsole.
