If they put out any more of the Barker Blacks let me know. Also, if they have any of the Lobbs in a 10 1/2 US, let me know. They did not when I was there last week.

Which boots did you go for at BB?

I just got back,I stopped at RL,bought the Harrington suede boots,I didn't stop at BB.
Also,stopped at NM;they have JL Tarmar Red Museum,I didn't like it.They also had two boxes of Kiton black cap toes.I didn't see any Barker Blacks.
I was keeping an eye on those RLPL Harringtons,they are on sale for $440.

What color was the Harrington in? Dark or tobacco suede? With shoe trees?

Not that you asked me, but I would have done the same. The Tamars are OK -- good for $420, but I would get more use out of the Harringtons.

Thank. Tried pictorial, but did not find it unless it's under a different name in the EG section. Is it in this coffee suede (http://img279.imageshack.us/img279/3...feesuede_1.jpg)? Also. no Mackay in suede?

They are here:http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=60579

the ones in above thread are calf,I wish RL had them in calf.I didn't see Mackay,but I didn't ask.They consolidated their inventory so other stores might have it,you need to call and check.

I didn't check,sorry.Sizes were too small,I didn't even bother to check.Retail was little over 2K,I imagine they were discounted to maybe $1500 or so,plus they are on the table with additional 40% off.But I am just speculating.

THanks again. Actually I know the size i need and external appearance of the boots, but want to confirm if the color they had was similar to coffee suede rather something like dark brown or mink suede. A confirmation would be appreciated.

They are definitely not tobacco,I think tobacco is much lighter.Nice color nevertheless.
