New seconds at TSM, I don't have any experience with 379x last, but would same size as Barrie or TB be the right call?

Yes. If you're looking at D5912HC, that's on Trubalance, not 379X. It's the Stronghold brown scotch grain tanker (I have that boot).

Gorgeous shoes!

Not to be weird, but when I was showering last night I was thinking about shoes and your EXACT shoes popped into my mind. I thought to myself, "damn I haven't seen Hubbins post those in a while" and then continued washing my hair.

I am not kidding about the above, but I am happy you posted those!!

Was looking at these:

I have the TB Stronghold scotch grain myself, which was listed on Stronghold as Barrie for the longest time.

Well, it seems like I've missed out for good on the B+M City Mocc as it has been moved to the Last Call page. One of the two left is too small, the other too big. Of course when I have money in hand ready to buy, it's not an option. I recently expressed my interest, but I was told that with all of the other new B+M styles there were no plans to re-order it. Well, I guess that about settles that. The AOC-102 model is kind of sort of close, but I was digging the double waterlock on the City Mocc. I guess there's always the 9794 as well, but it's not quite the same thing. I know there's also the TSM snuff Ranger Mocc, but I generally don't find it quite as appealing.

Anyone know of any other mocc toe snuff bluchers on double waterlock out there?

More rain so Leffot reverse chamois wingtip boot

I was not a fan of reverse chamois at all...until I picked up a pair. A great leather, especially for those rainy rays you mentioned.

@JSO1 - I believe you quoted TSM saying they would list about 100 factory seconds every few days. It’s more like 10-20 every few days. Do you think we will see 100 in total over the next couple weeks?

It’s more that they’re adding sizes to existing makeups that are listed. So you might only see a few new styles listed in the number (right now it’s like 380) but they are adding many pairs. 380 styles listed but many more pairs available.

I’m guessing 7.5E Barrie is a no go for you? I might move mine (hardly worn, have a ton of shoes already).

Just ordered these this morning after a poster let me know they were back on the BB website. Shipping quickly and I will have them by tomorrow. They will go along with my color 8 tassels from Alden, Milano loafer and Statesman loafer, both from Brogue. Presently, I am on a cordovan loafer kick although I am also waiting on the snuff suede tassel loafer as well.
