If you don't mind me asking, how long did the Brick & Mortar from Seattle take? They've got a makeup that I'm interested in...

Actually, the Tan Nubuck at B+M were in stock so they shipped them the next day of placing order.
Also, I placed a deposit for a Black Shell Indy in June 2022 and the boots were delivered last week Oct 2024. So they honoured the old price from June 2022 which was $95 less than the current price.

Thanks!
So far I have not done anything to the oiled nubuck except a light brushing before wearing them. I don't need they need much care.

I appreciate the response. Thank you so much. I emailed the owner yesterday. He got back to me right away - i’m thinking about moving forward now. I’ve already got a special make up ordered with AOFSF

Did a significant hike with some water, mud etc in my shell No8 Chukka's with commando sole. Quick wipe after, and looked great for a nice dinner to follow. This might be my favorite pair of shoes now.

Only the second GYW wear for a while (the other being my 80's Florsheim Golden Harvest pair for a Edgar Allen Poe reading - seemed appropriate). Mahogany shell Indy's:

This is the first "porch shot" in the new house (vs. my previous traditional/regular shot). As with many things for me these days, a new thing to get used to... ;) :rotflmao:


I'm working my way up to take the Ravello Indys out for their maiden voyage.
