Just ordered the black suede Hedi 30 Chelsea boots. I've been struggling to choose which black suede boot to go with for ages. My choice was between the cropped jodhpur, the Devon side-zip, and the Hedi 30 and in the end I decided on the Hedi 30, at least to begin with (wouldn't mind something less chunky with a finer sole too). I think what sealed it in the end was that the Hedi 30 is a good all round option, I like how the elastic gore looks against the black suede (see below), and I felt the Devon could look a little bit elf slipper like with the point in black suede:
Nah, I just paid full price from YSL.com. Great deal you got there though. They're arriving tomorrow so hopefully I'll like them. I have the black calf version already and really like them so I'm pretty confident in the choice.
That's interesting to hear - can you give me some ideas of why?
The reason I'm asking is because I can get the new one, with 80% wool at a substantial (40%) discount:

however the OCD in me is not sure whether it's worth paying full whack for the "old" version with the 93% virgin wool, and supposedly wider leather bands.

Logically it makes sense to save a wad and get the newer one but I don't want to kick myself if the old one is invariably better in some way.
Thanks
Do they come with an 8 ball?
is that from ss16? are you selling? i offer $500 but only if it's from saint laurent
nah i got mine full priceDid you get them from that Neiman Marcus sale for $320 @needhelp123 ?
nah i got mine full price
i get 90% of my stuff full price anyway cause i'm an impatient idiot who doesn't want to wait for sales and just pay it straight away, waste a lot of money this way but oh well
Cue everyone selling their older teddy to buy a new one.
@ohyehhh Have they really stopped producing the 93% virgin wool one? I always understood it as that being the FW version, while the 80% was the SS version. I remember both being sold by ysl.com when I purchased mine a year ago. The virgin wool was the only one in the Permanent Collection though, for what that's worth.
