Thank you, Unipair.   I originally discovered the brand (and these fine forums) when researching tan shoes to go with a new suit.   It was supposed to end there, but we all know how that goes once we find fellow enablers.    Next came the Indy's (I'm a HUGE Indiana Jones fan and couldn't resist) and then came the Chukka's out of pure impulse.   I really couldn't be more happy with any of them and all have proven surprisingly versatile, as you mention.  

I can't wait for the 9015s.   They'll be my first pair of cordovans and in a color I likely wouldn't have considered before, thanks entirely to the photos posted here.

Welcome to the thread! I started my quest in the exact same manner. Now I have 25 impulses sitting in my closet.

Sweet looking boots sir.

Anyone who's a size 12, I hate you. Between sales at Unionmade, Epaulet, Leather Soul, and other retailers, you could assemble an awesome collection at a fraction of the price us smaller footed are able to. That said, I have to admit my wallet is hurting after what was a better than average holiday shoe sale season.

It really is funny. I felt like I pulled a major coup when I scored George Cleverleys for $400 or EGs for $600. I explain to my friends what a saavy shopper I am, but they think I'm absolutely nuts as they walk around in $50 square toed Kenneth Coles. Everything's relative, but we're a pretty privileged bunch.

Classy shoes. Love the Plaza. I've never understood why, at least in the AE thread, some say a black brogued cap toe or wingtip bal doesn't make sense.
