Well, I received the black, uhh...Cigar cap toe someone returned from the batch earlier this year and regardless of shade, it is a beauty. I was a little concerned it was returned after so much time, but the construction and condition is essentially 100% perfect.

For a fun comparison, I added a shot of another recent Cigar purchase. I was hoping the next batch would be lighter, but with others in the rotation, this shade works well. The good news for other 10Ds on the current list, I was #1, so everyone just moved up a spot.

Looks like a great score to me!

As always, Black Shell is amazingly beautiful and a very under utilized color here...

Feeling a little blue.

Fresh from Hong Kong. Navy Reverse Chamois Indy Boot on the Trubalance Last with a Cork Sole and Thomas Heel.

WOW! What a coincidence! I was there yesterday. Both the reverse chamois indy and the chamois tanker are amazing!

I like the navy chamois tanker a lot, a shame that's on the crepe sole!!

It's also the first time I see a chamois leather shoes. I am amazed by how soft and smooth they are. I need to add a chamois boot in my list...lol!

They are in fantastic shade and condition! I wish mine could come before the winter ends!

Congrats, Shoulda!

Wow! That's a severely underrated shoe. Very attractive... 2146??

I have the 2145 and I need to enjoy them more often! I need a black dress shoe too. This might be the one...

Ha! That's funny. I didn't get to see them before buying them, but I am happy with them.

Chamois is supposed to be a beastly material requiring little care.
