Who makes a good Short Wing Blucher in Color 8 Shell? I've seen the one on TSM and Brogue, but neither have my size. Curious who else makes one?

Adam at AOC has a SW on the Atom pattern. Handsome shoe. Color 8.
Ealdwine offers a C8 Atom medallion blucher, also

These are going seriously olive, and that might just be the best thing ever

There are a few..

AoC does the atom SWB Barrie
Brogue has one on Plaza
Brogue also has an atom version on Barrie
Gentlemens footwear has one on Barrie
I think leather soul has one too on Barrie.

Good list. I was notified by Leather Soul a few weeks ago that they were doing a re-order of theirs. I dropped them a line after the fact expecting to be disappointed, but fortunately they are going to put a pair aside for me. Might want to give them a shot if the barrie works and you're not a special size.

Madison’s version was a model I was considering. excellent models from both vendors and I admire how b+m has the storyline with the plaza last.

Anyhow, my only six eye... with consistent 2021 cigar shade:

Those look awesome. Are they from the most recent run? A few months back they advertised a pre-order for the mini tankers in cigar and whiskey loafers in their Instagram stories - the post was only up for maybe a few hours. I can imagine they got flooded with inquiries. I made the call and was told I was on "the list" for the tankers, but never heard back. Called again a while back to see if they needed my card, etc., and turns out I was not on the list after all. What a roller coaster

Warm enough to sneak another wear of unlined Snuff Suede LHSes before the end of the unlined season..

Can you confirm if these are on Barrie? Their website doesn't list the last, but it does look like Barrie.

Thanks Sazon.. I grabbed in an instant.. 9D sold out very fast. I last saw 12-13 only sizes left in just a few days.. Not a flaw anywhere on these boots.. all panels match beautifully.. So happy ?
Now I want them in black Shell but decided to stay married instead..

Yes, they are. You have to go back pretty far on their new arrivals section to get to them. It’s definitely been a while since they have been offered.

Yeah it's Barrie and I know people have waited for years for them to do another run which they did a few months back or few weeks, lost track of the exact time.
