^^ I think there was a post several pages back where someone suggested that the Railroad Revival Tour boot was made by Rancourt, no? The shape of the boots looks very similar to Rancourt's Blake Boot in my opinion.


I was catching up on the thread, should have quoted the post I was referring to. But if the ones quoted are available, link please :D

^^ I don't know anything about the Viberg natty cxl roughout boots. Only what's been posted on the Viberg and Horween blogs. But, I agree, would like to get a pair. I left questions on both blogs, but if someone stateside (or Canada-side) wants to investigate further, that would be awesome.

I'm 99% sure the Helm boots are made by Rancourt.

Yep, better to steer clear. Whatever you do, don't go look at their blog. Luckily the prices are repellent.

Yes their prices are high - but I hear those boots will last a lifetime. No I'm not talking myself into a pair - really! : (

Just got one of Rancourt's brown chromexcel belts. Really well made. Goes great with brown chromexcel indy boots.

I know this is frowned upon but I have a pair of Rancourt NIB Green Shell Cordovan PInch Penny loafers 10.5D that I am going to list on Ebay soon.
Anyone interested in a tremendous price PM me.


Who can frown when you've typed the words "green shell cordovan loafers?" Hope you move these successfully. I'm glad they are at least half a size too small for me.

Post a photo here before you sell them, will you?

Here are my #8 shell beefrolls from the other afternoon.

The Levis 514s also pictured never seem to show well in these photos. Probably that big, lazy roll at the bottom. Oh well, they are sturdy.

Here are the green pinch penny loafers... a fellow SF Rancourt admirerer has agreed to take them off my hands and give me more space in my closet....

^^ Damn, those look brand new. Awesome loafers. But, I have seen some of your posts of late. You've acquired a whole mess o' shoes.

Edit: for what it's worth, I guess those aren't pinch penny, but rather "weltline" loafers. Whatever, still really like them.
