Feeling a little lazy so apologies in advance for the somewhat sparse nature of the post but I’ve got four pair I’d like to offer before they go to the Bay. Left to right……
  1. LeatherSoul Cigars (no, that is not a typo)on Plaza, 8.5D. These are easily the nicest shade of cigar I have ever seen. As you can see, they compare favorably to their neighbors, the Ravello PTB’s. You will never see another pair of Cigars produced with this color. Includes bags but no box. $850.
  2. LeatherSoul 10th Anniversary Ravello PTB, 9D on Leydon. Exposed eyes added by Aram. Bag’s but no box. $800.
  3. Whiskey Indy, 8.5D on Trubalance, Nuff said! $900.
  4. Ravello Splits from TSM, 9D on Aberdeen. Edges darkened a little by me to add to versatility. $800.
All soles are leather. All have less than 10 wears and probably around 5. All are in pristine condition. Splits come with Alden box and bags. All others come with bag but no box.

$25 discount for each pair when multiples are purchased. All prices are net to me but include domestic shipping.

Reach out if interested and need more pictures. Respectfully not entertaining offers at this point. Curiosity seekers are asked to please refrain from asking for more pic’s.

Ravello Shell Cordovan PTB on Barrie Last

They were part of a larger rotation and are in gentleman’s preowned condition. No shoe trees, bags or original box is included in sale. A generic box will be provided. PP Friends and Family only.

Size: 10E

$650

Cheers!

I really don't wanna put these on The Bay.

Price is firm. You won't find a more striking pair anywhere.

Cheers!

Here’s two more gang. Both Brooks Brothers unlined LHS’s. True unicorns as they have long since stopped being made.

The lighter pair on the left are 8.5E but were converted to antique edges by B.Nelson and fit like an 8.5D. They may be a little more narrow than their cousins to their right. The soles are new (1-2 wears) and were replaced by the best in the business. Notice that he hid the stitching on the soles. Pretty cool.

The darker pair are fairly standard 8.5D but have been repaired by the best in the business. You can see where the stitching was repaired and I have tried to show what he did to the interior to reinforce the stitching. Trust me, these will last a lifetime. He also added the toe taps.

Both are offered at $325 net to me but I’ll ship domestically for free. No boxes but bags included with both. Will ship the pair $600. Respectfully not entertaining offers at the time.

Count me in the tire kicker category for now. But if you happen to be taking pics of these on someone else’s behalf, I’d be interested in seeing more.

Can you comment on how Leydon fits compared to Dovers on the Barrie last?

Thanks and some great offerings you’ve got there.

I really hesitate to offer fit advice as feet are so tricky. I will say that the 9D PTB fit pretty close to my Barrie size of 8.5D. Maybe a hair more narrow in front. I wear them comfortably with medium to thin socks. While I have worn them with thicker socks, I felt it at at days end.

There are quite a few guides on fit and a good one is contained in the very first post to this thread. Most will tell you I’m a pretty straight shooter when it comes to listing but I don’t accept returns so nailing the fit is pretty important.

Good luck. Appreciate the interest.

If I could sell my cigar loafers I think I'd make a move on those #4 wings, they look great. Good luck with sale!
