Looks like Barrie to me.

so this is the same makeup as the recent Citi Shoes boot, right?

Crazy, all eyelets are killer on that one. Are you going to be picking it up?

I would love the NATCXL pair in all eyelets.

I shouldn't. But I might pick this up and cancel the brown CXL tanker. Hmmm.

Although I should really skip this and buy a wingtip boot as I don't have that style yet.

Did the citi have speedhooks or all eyelets?

funny, I'm thinking of unloading my alpine grain SW boot for these tankers

@sazon
 looking great!! Are those the Leffot version? The edge trim looks darker than mine

Thank you! Yes, Leffot from June 2013.

A non-planned purchase that I do not regret at all.

Looks awesome. Hate the dang pull tabs though. All else is spot on.

I would probably be thinking differently if I didn't already have the Leffot tanker.

Wingtip boots are great, I have the RL Lindrick and love it but a cigar wingtip on plaza would probably make switch.

Barrie or Trubalance?

I'm guessing it is the same as the Chamois one they have - Barrie

I really like the shell C&Js. I am trying to stick to my Alden and EG themed collection, haha. So it'll probably be #8 if Alden. Not sure about Barrie or Plaza, yet.

all eyelets as well

+1. Definitely looks to be Barrie.

OK. Looks like the same makeup, then. I just emailed LS about using my deposit towards other products. I want to get out of the brown CXL tanker regardless.

Ok, Update on the Ravello Captoe's for anyone interested. They were only confirmed like 11 units. Super small run. So I'm assuming the list has been full for some time though I did not ask. They went into production in June with 16-18 week lead time. So they are expected in October.

@Bobbo316 is correct. These are expected to arrive in October. They are on the Grant last. Also, for those in a size 7.5D in Barrie, I passed on the Ravello LWBs since I'm already on the list for this Ravello cap toe and the Alden Madison ravello LWBs. I hope I don't regret that decision.
