We may also have another deadstock delivery of Walt's, but that could come after the new year.

Apparently, my indecision has benefits after all. Just grabbed one. Thanks Mike!

Look forward to more Epaulet-brand purchases in the future...

Darnit, I have tapped out my budget for this year already.

BTW, I really like how the sizes show when you mouse over the item picture. I wish more websites did that.

So the briefcases are not going to be released in the next week or two?

Thanks man, it's my favorite feature of our site. We're always making small improvements, but that upgrade was a hardcore bit of coding kung fu.

I wish that they were - we've just got too long of a lead time on the leather. But believe me, it will be worth the wait!

Lol! It's about as perfect as I can remember (copious amounts of drinks flowed). That dive bar had no idea what was coming. Sadly there's no video but there should be some lifestyle esqe pics surfacing soon...

No, I don't intend on ever marking those down. I really wanted those boots to deliver a strong value, so I deliberately set the retail price low. We always have guys asking for an item around that price point, and I feel that the No. 685 boot delivers a unique look that's a world of quality away from other boots in the $200 to $300 range. We'll do some new editions for the Spring, but it's my goal to have a few different kinds to choose from at any given time.

OK, great, just what I was hoping for! I hope you don't mind my asking two additional questions:

1. Are the boots completely free of logos and the like? (I noticed that the shoes from the previous collab weren't.)

2. If I'm usually a UK size 10 (US 11), would you say that it's advisable to order a half size down, i.e. a US 10.5? I'm asking since you make the comparison with Clark's desert boots, which, from what I understand, run a half size big. If it's of any help, my left foot measures exactly 27.5 cm (about 10.8 inches) from heel to toe.

Cheers, just scored the white one I've been humming and hawing over. Good things come to those who wait (sometimes).
