Your ravello wingtip boots are insane!

^ Where are those longwings from? I'd guess DC....

Alden of SF.

Those of you who purchased the Brixton, please look at the area where the welt meets the upper. anyone else have this going on? zippy?

Thoughts??

making sure everyone takes a "closerlook" i see

 

[Alcibiades]

Given the season, I went with the Leffot snuff suede unlined LHS and the cigar chukkas - both will get year round wear whereas the high boots I was looking at are more fall/winter/spring...

I will wait to add another color 8 to the collection. Probably done until September at least.

Pics coming soon

alden sf told me that the cigar indys were on true balance, but its not surprising if its on barrie since most of their shoes are barrie.

wait, so they told you trubalance? you sure? they told others (including me) its on the barrie. hmm

I always wear like that

BTW, I am wondering if #8 LHS works with shorts or not.

You mean the visible stitches?
I can almost see a hint of where the stitches are on mine in a couple places if I look very closely in strong light.
In other words, not really visible on my pair.

yes, the visible stitching.
its quite visible on the pair they sent me which I worry means its not very secure.

argyles otc

I think the only downside is cosmetic.

 

[WhoKnewI]

its secure, just not pleasant. Maybe they could be tightened during a recraft. ideally though, those holes should be covered to ensure better water resistance, or so I was told.
