I'm thinking 'Outstanding' , but I've been wrong before and my kids love to goof on that fact

I'm thinking you're right, and I'm also thinking the original shorthand meant the unpaid/unresolved definition of 'outstanding.' Whatever.

Seven,

Would it be possible for you to post some pictures of yours? I am considering getting on J. Gilbert's preorder list but would like to have a better indication of how they look on the Plaza.

Thanks,
Jason

I'm not at home. This may help:

Does anywhere stock the Alden 990 in Commando sole?

I called Sherman Bros yesterday and this woman picked up. I asked her about the sale and she confirmed it. When I asked her if I could buy a 975 over the phone she said she it might be possible but that she would have to check with the owner. I told her the size I was looking for and she said she would call me back.

About 30 minutes later she calls me back and says she checked with a co-worker and that it was in-store only. Asked me if I was in the area and that I could stop buy as they were in stock. I live in New York so it's not really possible for me.

Maybe I will have better luck if I call again and get a different rep? I called the Customer Service number on the website.

Thanks, I saw that in the past but was hoping to get a better look or perspective (side and top). In those shots it looks very long. Does it have a 360 deg welt? Flat or storm?

Newest addition... J Crew Cap Toe boot in color 8. Haven't decided if I will keep them. Not sure boots are for me. May go with a cap toe medallion blucher (2145) instead if I can find it.

Looks good to me.

They are looking good! That's how boots (at least this type) should look --- worn well and with lots of character. Momo's?

The 2145 is great. You should be able to find it quite easily if you are willing to pay retail price.

Love the thick wale cords.  A staple in my winter wardrobe as well.  I have always admired your personal style as much as your O/S shines.

nephew,
thank you
