Wore my new Plaza U-tip Indys outside for the first time today. The first batch was mocha - we heard they would be mocha, then cigar, then mocha, then they split the order, so the first half was mocha and I now declare mine to be officially cigar.
They are almost identical in color to my Chester Mox wallet in Italian Brown Shell (pictured below).
When I first visited the shop I asked if they were ever going to run a Cigar Indy. I also ordered my Color #8 Indy on commando that day. Turns out they had this interesting run in process (in Mocha) and happened to have my size still open on the order. I put my name down. That was October 2019, supposedly ready in March. Then COVID happened. They told me the order switched to cigar. The first half was delivered in mocha. My order was pushed to August, then November. And, it finally arrived. I know most people would probably prefer the darker tones of mocha, especially because it's much more rare, but I really like cigar and I asked for cigar and got cigar.
I know I won't always feel like this, but as of right now, I believe my quest for the perfect boot is complete. I have four pairs of Alden boots, two from Alfred Sargent, and one from Crockett and Jones. But, this one is my favorite. It's the perfect color. It's a casual design, but a dressy last and welt. Just incredible. The brass eyelets and hooks really make it pop. And, the color of the shell is just awesome - rich and deep, but varied.
