Any idea when the delivery is for these Ravellos CTs?

I believe Ravello CT already in production. Hopefully in the Fall we will hear some good news from Kathy.

I ordered these from J. Crew just to check them out, without really thinking I'd want to keep them:

Now that I have them in hand, though, I like them. I'm having trouble getting past the cap toe, so that will probably be enough of a deal-breaker for me to return them - but all in all this is a pretty good shoe.

I've found Barrie boots to be noticeably narrower, and somewhat shorter, feeling than Barrie shoes. I personally need to go up a 1/2 size, or potentially a width. I know nothing about the TB last.

Thanks brp2

These boots are quickly becoming one of my favorite pairs. And I don't let summer heat and humidity stop me from wearing them.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Are those the cigar captoes from DC? Looking GREAT!

You can get past bright yellow pants, but not a cap toe?

All kidding aside, they're a great make up. I know REGuy is a big fan, and the eyelets are a great detail.

Zing....those are what I call "happy hour" pants. Just don't get locked out of your apartment and have to wear them around town on Saturday morning for several hours.

Yes sir, they are from the most recent batch. Thanks.

Ha, I had the same thought! I don't even have the self confidence to pull off those socks let alone the pants! The world would be a better place if people expressed their stylistic individuality more readily.

I really like wearing my pair with jeans, but I think they work with anything other than a suit.

Had to move a bunch of wood today for neighbor. Reached for the workboot.

^Nice. Not enough Indys featured on this thread, IMO.

Does one generally go up a half size from their barrie shoe when ordering a barrie boot? Is the same also true when ordering a trubalance boot?

I have boots in Trubalance and Barrie and take the same size. The Barrie was slightly narrower though but was perfect once it broke in.

Leffot color 8 Tankers have arrived! Leffot mentioned on IG that email with balance is coming shortly. They are freaking gorgeous. Can't wait.

I hope you enjoy yours as much as I have. My color 8 tanker boots are my favorite boot. I own 6 other Alden boots.
