Happy Monday forum pals.

For comparison, I thought I'd share a few pics of the new run of TSM Ravello Tankers with my Ravello Longwings from 2012. Also including a few photos with my Amaretto Captoes. The newer Ravello pair is more on the brown side and have less of the reddish tone. Surprising how much closer the older Ravello pair appear in terms of color to Amaretto than Tankers. At any rate I'm very happy with these, and will look forward to wearing as we get closer to boot season.

It seems like the Ravello Tankers have an olive undertone. Or my screen is deceiving me...

I think that's a good way to describe it.

Those are outstanding, and will get better with wear and age!

Beautiful shoe, but I do not like the 360 welt; calls for 270 IMHO.

I made a promise with a good friend to always wear LHSes on Sundays. He upheld the tradition even when going to Hawaii. He has since passed and I am carrying on the tradition.

My pre-covid run of Ravello. With and without flash.


The white background washes the colour out a bit in the second photo. They look a tad bit redder in person.

Is it blasphemy to say that I like the black shell version better than the color 8 version? Something about black is just so classic.
