Thanks to you wafflers, I have just decided on and ordered the Hawaiian Tanker in brown 9.5D versus getting on the pre-order for the next re-stock of Ultimate Indies. Two down counting my AOC AF85 Wing Tip boot in black. It's a sickness, I will post pics soon.

Get the Tankers now before they're out in your size! I'd prefer them to the regular 403 for the same reason you stated plus Commando Sole > Regular Cork Sole.Originally Posted by Dexter_
...and Ahab. You're disturbed.
Whiskey PTBs today for a casual Friday. I'd like to get them in Cigar too...Originally Posted by CrackedCrab
I wear my cigar more, they are very versatile. The whiskey was in the closet all winter but has been seeing quite a bit of wear since spring. Good luck!

Can't decide between the tan or dark brown suede chukka boots.....thoughts???Originally Posted by edubs01
The dark brown look great in in person! Saw someone trying on a pair of both last weekend, and I thought the brown looked much better.

I think the tan looks nicer. The contrast between the suede and the sole and the stitching gives the shoe some dimension. The dark brown looks a little like a sock or a slipper because everything is so dark the details all blend together.

I thought we learned that the tan suede look like Uggs. Or was that the dark brown suede?Originally Posted by Dewey
I think that is more with the Barrie and Trublance lasts than the color. But I think we are going to get some bleed over on the Ugg front no matter what just because they were so popular.
I still get legit compliments on my suede boots and they a snuff suede Barrie last.
As for color I like both. I feel the dark brown would be more versatile but as has been stated you lose some details.
