I def like it, but it sold out in V before I could get my hands on it.
The only downside might be stretching, which I've heard is quite much for SS cotton knits.

website lists it as mohair/nylon/wool. Would not be considering a cotton knit. Probably going to buy either that or some jeans. I dunno.

Any opinions on the boots? The color is "burnt pine" which is sort of a dark green and I'm concerned it will be harder to color coordinate than a more traditional brown color.

Ann. Yes or no? I'm little unsure, how to deal with this toe.

'Burnt pine' is not dark green. I've tried on a pair of Grenson Stanley brogues in 'burnt pine' and they are as brown as brown can be. You can see it yourself in the photos of the Sharp. It's a nice shape, though I don't personally like the sole. I'd rather see a creeper sole than a crepe sole.

I wish they had one with the monopoly thimble. or any monopoly piece would do.

not sure these handles are interchangeable but that would be cool.

Thanks for the reply- I decided to make someone's day and not get them, and released it from my cart. Someone somewhere is smiling.

I would have preferred a non-crepe sole too, and am in the market for a double leather sole with stacked heel. That was more the deciding factor than color. Thanks for clarifying!
