Seconded- the blue on tan makes a great pop.

Warm in Baltimore tomorrow, I think it's a suede day.

It's always boot season in SF

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

nephew,
good looking cap toe boots

Great looking boot but if it's on a non plaza last i don't know if the value is there (470 euro isn't much more than full price here in the states but it's no bargain certainly)
Unfortunately the pleasing aesthetics of factory all-eyelets cannot be obtained by switching speedhooks out for eyelets due to the gap required

Dangit!!!

Agreed. Selling the black tankers and picking up the longwings on commando makes a lot of sense from a portfolio standpoint... Black captoe boot, black longwing on commando, black unlined PTB and black NST spans functions and seasons. Throwing the tankers in the marketplace and on eBay on Saturday.

Actually, I am deciding against this... the black tanker boots are too cool to part with, and I can wear them with flannels as well.

What does everyone think of the Church Hill Indy that Need Supply has?

 

[100 yrs]

anyone have an in the wild shot of the hummus suede nst offered by LS a few months back?

 

[slide13]

NS ones are nice but I wish they had all eyelets like the ones Frans Boone did, also think the brass eyelets are a nice touch. Similar take on the Indy from both, just think the FB ones are a little nicer but unfortunately they're also not in the US.

I saw this on eBay earlier, 10.5 Alden Ravello LHS (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380770809295&ssPageName=ADME:X:PROI:US:3160) and thought of some guys here.

This is not my listing/item, but I thought I would share the tip in light of discussion on "rare" shell. Cheers.

Says both Whiskey and Ravello in listing, anyone know which it is?
