I'm still on the hunt for a pair of brown CXL NST boots, with eyelets/hooks size 8.5D or even 9D...Not looking for TB last, barrie is ok. Aberdeen would be the bomb....If any of you guys have such, let me know and we can talk.

Sounds a lot like the LeatherSoul Tanker Boot. I actually ordered a pair of these and forgot about it (pretty sure I was traveling in Asia and was seriously jet-lagged, a bit drunk or both...

). In the meantime I bought my first pair of GS NST's in brown CXL. When the LS pair showed up "out of the blue", I decided to keep the GS pair (I think I'd found a pair of the LS Choco suede tankers in the meantime too).

LS Brown CXL Tanker

That's a damn pretty boot...

(I have a natty CXL build from Gentlemen's Footwear that's pretty similar:

...and LS Choco Tankers

I also have GS NST in CXL, plus the Alden Natty tankers. You and I seem to think alike.

Holy crap, now these...are really something else.

Interesting theyre on 360 double leather soles, too. I like that. You have any more pics? I dont see a lot of Indys on 360 double leather and am curious about the overall aesthetic.

Thanks! Trubalance Last. 360 deg Storm Welt. Double Waterlock Soles. I added triumph toe taps. Ref D1918H. My grail boots for sure.

These are gorgeous! I love the heel foxing instead of the Indy quarter stitches! Whose make-up are these?

Thank you! I believe it's by Ealdwine.

Pretty sure David Wood made those, if I’m not mistaken

Ooops, my mistake. You’re correct. It’s by David Wood. I mixed them with another Indy pair. To be fair in my defence, I had shoe trees in these today when I took the photos so the stamp by the dealer was covered. Lol.

Yeah thats a grail makeup, for sure. Thanks for entertaining my curiosity. I would even be very interested in the same boot in color 8 as a makeup. I find more and more that I love indys the most of all the boots, but I heel strike and the extra height on the standard Indy heel means I wear them down quickly; my other boots don't suffer as much. I don't know if anyone else does the Indy on leather soles with 360; Brogue does a 270 which still has the standard Indy heel, but 360 is much rarer I think.

Fresh color 8 Wick boots from Snake Oil Provisions via @Calvin as in CALVIN with some faded canvas. Pics don't do them justice - plaintoe Trubalance exceeded my expectations!

Worn on a trip to pick up a second pair from Calvin - Snuff NST on Trubalance - the Depano boot from Brick + Mortar. First snuff and first NST - can’t wait for this snow to melt - they are going to be regulars in my spring and summer rotation.

Well, tell Dr. Strange to do the magic circle thing and get us all some more rare shell, eh?

I can’t believe you posted 6 pictures of the same boot in 2 posts. This type of behavior is to be strongly encouraged.
