Damn good thing I'm not an Indiana Jones purist! I mean, I like the movies, but don't have to go get "his" wardrobe and such. Indy boots are just good freakin' boots whether Harrison Ford wore them or not.

Agreed!
Here's my 405 vs 403

Can anyone tell me if there is any reason to be concerned with the way this welt ends? Its cut pretty abruptly. Can I assume it is just cosmetic and wont cause any issues? Thanks

Cosmetic only. Its just the abrupt end of the welt on a 270 welted sole.

Thanks. I am glad it is nothing to worry about and excited to wear them.

Agreed. Just cosmetic. Down the road, with some wear, you won’t even notice it. Enjoy!

I can’t believe it, my name came up for the Alden Ravello LWB! I should have them early next week. How’d they turn out for people who got lucky? I saw a couple pics and they look a litte dark (not brownvello) hows the quality for the run regardless?

Congrats!!! As I've said many times, no such thing as bad ravello. Mine are a hair dark, but beautiful nonetheless...…

My dilemma is that 3 years ago I loved longwings but my tastes have changed. If anyone has some nice non-longwing cigars in Barrie 8.5D or TTS 9D and is interested in a trade, message me.

Thanks, yeah yours look great! I'm shocked my name got called. These are definitely a grail pair for me!

Wow. Mic drop. Those are some killer choices. (I think you snuck an @smfdoc pic in there with the navy suede lwb)

My blue LWBs do not have eyelets, but after seeing those I may just have to do something about that.

Got an email from DC saying they have a pair of Whiskey Tanker's for me. Can't wait!

Can we count on you to post a pic after their maiden voyage in 2021? Seriously man, congrats. From the pic's I've seen, that's a serious lottery ticket.

Today I wore Color 8 Wingtip boots to pick up AoM Color 8 Tankers.
