Same here but my elusive hampton is the Fresco boot. Brogue never did have my size. FWIW, Leather Soul ran a shoe version way back when. Wonder if they would consider running it again for you?

Oddly I wanted the look of the chukka for this make-up, but thanks for the suggestion.

Need to clear out some boot space as fall approaches. Current boots in rotation include Whiskey tankers, black captoe jumpers. I also have color 8 plain toe boots on commando incoming

Which three would you sell (you must include one of the color 8 models); bonus points if you can get to four

Color 8 tanker boot
Color 8 chukka
Snuff Suede Tanker Boot, Trubalance
Hummus (Brown) Suede Indy Boot, Trubalance
Tan Calfskin Wingtip Boot, Barrie
Black Regina Calfskin Wingtip Boot, Barrie
403 Indy Boot, Trubalance

I'd ditch, in this order:
Color 8 chukka (easy call for me, I don't think Barrie chukkas are great, although I except rare shell)
Snuff Tanker (Truebalance tanker is bad)
Hummus Indy (too close to 403)
Black Regina Calfskin wingtip (I'd keep if you can get away with only losing 3)

Nobody seems to be a fan of the Color 8 Chukkas. Hmmm...

Just not a huge chukka fan here, in fact if you want a few pair of Mass Drop AE suede chukkas, Never worn, PM me

I’ll take shot at this. I’d personally get rid of #8 chukka, hummus suede Indy, tan wtb, and black regina wtb.

Rarely wear these but they always get compliments. Creasing/wrinkles are tough for CXL LWB

I like those, and I'm not a "wing" guy, but those are nice.

Does anyone know if Brogue offers preorders in odd widths on their makeups? I just realized my email to them from a few weeks ago on the issue was never answered. Happy Friday all.

If they have the space available for your width, and if you contact them before the order is placed, you should be able to

+1 on this, need to contact Mack BEFORE the order is placed is key

Did anyone else notice the pre-order deposit on Leffot's site is the full price?

Yeah, I've ordered a C width from Brogue before. They will require full payment up front unless a D width, I think.

+1 on the non-reply: I emailed them several weeks ago and never heard back either.

Has anyone had the opportunity to check out the new handsewn loafer at leffot?

Looks great. Put down my deposit this morning. Should deliver in Q1 2020. Looking forward to them!
