Even more so with the current/close out model with olive tweed. It's made with golden brown CXL but there's not reference to that at all on the website.

Wow, I didn't know that. As much of a fan as I am of that leather, I don't think it's a good choice for that boot.

This is literally my go-to shoe for anything now. The leather color and sole type make it good for almost any occasion. Even in this Michigan weather, it handles most conditions well. Loving them and glad we committed to it.

Me too. It dresses up and down so well. Can't wait for its oxblood brother!

Were you the one who got these with the herringbone going in a perpendicular direction on one of the sides?

Yes I ended up not wearing them initially then another pair popped up so I swapped them...sorry on phone so couldn't spoil.

I think I would have kept the other pair for the uniqueness!

I know it's not exactly the same, but I'll keep this here for now.

Guess you mean those Bleekers? Not from the normal guy either. Maybe he got his own 2nds and flipping them?

Walnut shell? I thought there wasn't any left, how did one come about getting a pair made?

 

[mdubs]

I am wondering the same thing. There is also a Walnut Shell Park Avenue that looks simply amazing. I would have done that in a heart beat if it was still an option.

They look like natty shell to me.

 

[NWTeal]

Most of them except the bleeker streets are on the SF marketplace, too. The Park Ave looks like natural and not walnut.

 

[csmitty]

The natural Dalton I saw in store this week looked exactly like the walnut shell Daltons I had. It depends on the shade of the natural. Obviously walnut shell was long gone before the Bleekers came about.

Hoping they do another round.

I must say the eyelets seem a lot better than some I'm seen on firsts. My Townleys were classified as 2nds due to it as well. I'm almost expecting my trunk show mto to be a 2nd as well given what I've seen lately.

Were your Townleys the GMTO I assume?

@csmitty, the original posted photo didn't show eyelets really:

This one shows more clearly.

The Townley was not a part of the GMTO; it's more the result of some of my recent poor luck with purchases.

Pair of brand new "walnut shell" Strands on the bay now in 11 3E with a vthread sole. I think they're actually natural shell.

Spring is coming. Who's up for a unlined light suede or buck? Or should I just pull the trigger on a pair of tan Neumoks? With all the creativity of the members here, maybe someone can come up with something.

Happy Sunday all.
