Thank you to all that provided insight, my questions have been answered. Now if I can just find the perfect combination of LWB with an antique edge and double waterlock sole I can put this current fixation to rest.

Leffot makes this model and offers pre-sales on it. I know they just had some come in this past Fall. My impression was most of the sizes were already spoken for as pre-orders, but they may still have some sizes left and, perhaps, your size. If not, you can find out if they will order again by calling Leffot. Given its popularity, I would think it almost certain that they will reorder.

I would also check with J Gilbert since they make a lot of make-ups, including LWB, and make abundant use of waterlock soles.

Just got off the phone with Ed at the ShoeMart. Got on the latest order of dark drown CXL chukka's on double waterlock. Should be due in 20 weeks.

By the sounds of things, those who were lucky enough to get on the Ravello wingtip boot order are soon to be very happy people indeed

I'll be super pissed it the Ravello wingtip boots at TSM come in before Epaulet's order is even confirmed. I guess I shouldn't really be surprised anymore.

NYDRH - outstanding collection. Where are those Nat CXL SWBs from?

Fantastic make-up Uncle. Could you tell us again where you got those? Ravello and French blue is one of my favorite combinations, very attractive.

I was happy to take the J.Crew cap toes off your hands.

Did you ever sell those 975s on crepe?

Just curious.

For those looking for the #8 LWB with antique edge --- If you are willing to pay extra (closer to $790) and are ok with overseas shipping, the Bureau Belfast has a few sizes left:

You should take pictures for JCrew. Maybe I need these to tide me over for the #8 version.

That Haberdash 33% off sale is great! Just grabbed these:

Yeah, their pics were terrible.
They look great in person.
Actually I had the 405s on backorder, with the 25% off, and I called and they honored it on these instead...
yes please...
