sazon, those NST boot is killing me. I am so tempted to call and preorder the cognac from JGilbert.

Thanks. I'd highly recommend the boot. The calf is super soft and the single oiled sole is very comfy, from the get go.
A big difference in feel from the usual shell/dbl leather soles. 270 welt adds to the dressiness of the boot.

Alden via Unionmade natural CXL split toe boot just in.

Most shoes/boots I get I have to analyze and wear around the carpet before I decide if I will keep them. These were an easy decision after putting them on and walking a few steps. I only wish they had the double 'waterlock' sole instead of the single flex-welt, but that's relatively minor.

^^Damn, I should have jumped on them. Very nice!

I'm not sure of anyone with a list for Ravello NST bluchers. I know Citishoes has/had some Cigar.

Dubs?

Call ShoeMart.

He is the only one still in the Ravello NST shoe business at this point to my knowledge.

There are too many nice models I see around here and I'm going to start having to start restraining myself.

As an office co-worker said to me regarding my glowing collection, "They're not Pokemon. You don't have to catch them all."

Nowhere. You need to see if Leffot, Context, Citishoes are planning to do runs. You need to check here frequently and be ready to order immediately when you have the chance. There is more than 1 type of tanker so assume you mean color 8. Unionmade had some sizes left in alpine grain if that's not what you meant.

 

[Eastman]

Yes, I see, I dont like the alpine grain. I am looking for a regular tanker boot, color 8 is fine. I´ll be checking here and in those sites, thanks

I got some recently from citishoes. They're color 8 with black edge and commando sole and speed hooks.

The style is 4020HC.

I would rather have the Leffot version wiith antique edge, but you have to be really lucky to grab one. They're generally gone within seconds of going live.

If you're OK with black, Alden SF still has a few sizes left.

Edit: Regarding Color 8, I did some legwork about a month ago and posted the results here:

It is an acquired art to be able to snag the Alden's of your choice and size. I have been paying close Attention to this sf for a couple of months. Learned a lot!!
