New acquisition today (last one for a couple of months, at least), Delmar boots from B+M. Yenni and I worked on the design of this boot together and I'm thrilled with how they turned out. We were going for a dressier u tip design and so these are on the Grant last with a 270 flat welt, double waterlock soles and all eyelets. With the Indy quarterstitch, I'm regretting not proposing that they be called Shortrounds but oh well.

These came out really well. I need 11.5E/12 or I'd have bought last week, but I'm looking forward to seeing that Barrie U-tip boot coming. I'm done with Indy boots, the Grant and Barrie U-tips are where it's at for me.

This. I'm down to one Indy. I find TB a bit snug in the instep and it tends to aggravate an old injury. My try going TTS instead of Barrie sizing at some point though. I really like Barrie NST's and U -Tips.

Always love this makeup from Crew. Beast and good looking

Agreed, I generally don't have a problem with CXL or suede makeups on TB but I have to wear my Color 8 Indys with dress socks to have a bit more room in the instep, and they're even TTS. I have wide feet but TB may be my worst Alden fit so far due to the toe height. I've had much more luck with Barrie all the way down through the narrower fitting lasts.

Ealdwine Loden boots arrived this afternoon. Thought one pix should be next to a Hunter green Brogue boot, there is a difference in color

Whiskey goodness. Forgot to post these this morning.

It's an Indy evening, while the Tarrago Nano Spray dries on the Loden boots. Another nice make-up for our good friends at Ealdwine. Reverse Tobacco Chamois.
