Anything good?????

Yes! My color 4 tanker boots are scheduled to be delivered before the end of the week.



Obviously, kidding.

I wasn't really inquiring on the timing of the pre-order, just some other details, so nothing to really report.

^ Whoa. Is that the first #4 release since the TSM boots a couple of years ago? Or did Leffot do something more recently?

Well, yea....cause shipping will take longer than that, right? So maybe mid next week?

Anyone have photos of the cigar PTB on the Aberdeen last offered by Harrison Limited? I'm curious about the cigar shade and last appearance on the PTB.

I just received my pair of the new J. Crew alpine grain cap toes. They just might be my new favorite pair of shoes, and they look exactly like they do on the website.

However, they are on the Hampton last. The website says Barrie, but I had my suspicions based on the toe box. Fortunately, I wear the same size in the Barrie and Hampton (Hampton is slightly more snug). Great looking shoes for anyone on the fence, but keep the last discrepancy in mind.

LoL. You did get that Saz was joking right? I don't know the order of the #4's to be honest. I *thought* the JGilbert Saddles were last, but I would not bet any money on that.

Cigar captoes

How old are these? They don't anywhere close to the current cigars. Actually looks like darkened whiskeys. A new rare color

I just pulled the trigger as I've wanted a natural CXL Indy boot but the trubalance last really doesn't work for me. I'm glad to see it in Barrie.

Here is a nice pic from user tanbar: http://www.styleforum.net/t/121195/need-supply-official-affiliate-thread/1065#post_7107873

Did you see there's a promo code for June in the thread you linked to that will give you another 10 percent off? I added the boot to the cart just to check if the code works, and it does.

Indeed I did. Thanks for checking.

Sorry to hear that. I tried to purchase a pair of Trickers recently and gave up due to lack of communication and responsiveness.

I emailed them about the smooth chamois indy (thanks bk) and was advised that no restocks were in the works. Additionally I also noticed that I could only find a central email address instead oki and others individual addresses.

Uncle Mac, do you order your marcolianis from Alex Kabbaz?

Nope, totally missed that.

It seemed completely plausible to me that there might have been a #4 tanker pre-order from 2-3 years ago that was finally being delivered.

How similar is Carmina's cognac compared to Alden's cigar? 

Are they pretty much the same shade? 

Not very close IMO. The first shot is the Carmina's, Alden Cigar, and King. The Cigar's just came back from being refinished so they are likely the 'new' cigar which is darker than some of the older models. The second shot swaps the King for AE Dalton's.

I bought these last summer, but I don't know when they were actually made. They don't look like any other cigar I have owned. Sort of like ravello but with no red tones.

^Shawn,

Thanks for the extremely helpful pictures. If anything, Carmina's cognac looks closer to ravello than Cigar.
