    Disappointed they changed their shirting sizes around. Their tall smalls fit me well (I'd get the body length shortened 1.5", but rest was spot on). Now none of the new sizes will fit the way I want so looks like I won't be ordering shirts from them any longer. I'll still get their...

    I couldn't pull those off, but damn are they nice looking. CXL should stretch some. Where are those from?

    Wasn't sure if anyone answered you or not (I didn't see a reply). My guess is Shoe Mart, I know they did a run of Cigar Indy's not too long ago.

    If the tops are stiff and poking into your ankles and causing some discomfort then that'll go away as they break in.

    I ordered a pair of the Reverse Tobacco Chamois Indy's from Alden of Carmel - they arrived today. These are my first Indy's/Trubalance boots. I was a bit worried how they'd fit since that last is supposedly bigger than the Barrie, but they fit like a glove. My god that leather smells awful...

    :( Sell them and buy black ones. Light color Alden shell is relatively rare, you can probably get a decent amount of money for them to put towards black ones (or towards Color 8 ones that you can then dye black).

    I put my name on the list for both the Cigar and Ravello boots at the same time. Took about 2 years, but I finally got my Cigars sometime last year. Still on the list for Ravello so it'll probably be another 2+ years or some such before I get those.

    Believe they're from a UK or French store - I'm drawing a blank on their name. The carry primarily modified last shoes/boots and they all have a heel counter like that. Their site is rather useless and doesn't list models which is why I don't have it saved in my favorites. EDIT: Had to...

    I always hear good things about TZ Laces. Just search amazon for them.

    I got an email when the cigar cap toes came in, assumed it'd be the same with the ravello.

    What size? Anyway, depending on what size you are... 1. Don't know anyone making a long wing boot of any variety, but Brick & Mortar has a short wing boot in Color 8 on commando with antique edges. They don't list what last it is, but looks like Barrie. You'd have to contact them for...

    I think the circled part is rubbing when you walk. Put the boots on and then flex them as if you're taking a step and see if that's what it is. I had a pair of choco tankers for a short period of time and they got a 'bald' spot there from rubbing.

    Don't know what could fix that, but it's real close to where the rolls will develop so after a few wears it might not be noticeable.

    They probably caught the mistake and corrected it. This happens fairly often with JCrew. They'll put out a discount code and it'll work on Aldens for a short period of time until someone fixes it as it was never meant to apply to Aldens in the first place.

    While checking my saved links for snuff suede Indy's for @Irish I found these sweet tankers and Indy's. Thought these looked cool so posting them here so y'all can chase 'em down if interested. Natty CXL tankers with natural edge (rather than antique), brass hooks and eyelets -...
