So the following is pretty much a grail boot for me (and several others here from what I gather).

NST
Natural Chromexcel OR Reverse Tobacco Chamois
Dark metal eyelets/speedhooks
Storm welt
Natural/antique edge
Commando Sole
Barrie Last

Basically the exact boot Yenni has right now at B&M only on Barrie. While she may have chosen TruBalance over Barrie (B&M seems to be doing a lot of TruBalance makeups coming up), I am assuming another retailer is/has done the same makeup on Barrie and hence B&M not offering it. But who? Closest I have seen are Unionmade's offerings, but theirs are not on commando, which would suit this boot perfectly.

So what gives, seems like this would be a perfect casual boot for many of us... wonder if there's enough interest if we can get a retailer on board to facilitate...

Great make up, I have the brown cxl version of this boot from Leathersoul and it's a great boot.

If you can gather 12 interested parties, Alden of Madison is a good place to get a gMTO through. I got a gMTO for chocolate suede boot done recently with them, they were great to work with.

outstanding donl. lovely shade

Took delivery of these beauties today. DC Ravello Cap Toes - my first boots on the Grant last. Seems extremely nice. Tried them on briefly and was quite happy with the fit.

congratulations, amazing boots and color.

Those are just terrific - I just got a pair of WT boots from AoM that I wish were those...

thank you kindly sir.

Looking good DV in your Bloom free WT Boots. I am more curious about your Cigars bloom situ. Whiskey to date has been pretty bloom tolerant

thanks dubs. my aom cigar ct boots are a bloom machine. haven't worn them yet, but have brushed bloom off several times. kinda wish i had let the bloom build over the past few months.

Agree. These are very cool. I never would have considered a black indy until I saw these. Wear in good health.

That's great news. It sounds like there is some interest, so I'll get a new post going in the GMTO thread and link to it in the next couple days.

Vintage Indy action today.
These are from July 2013 and have gotten a TON of wear in the bad weather.

the brass eyelets on the Black Indy boot are sexy

3 weeks after reluctantly selling my Leffot JC Cigar Indys due to sizing issues, I was fortunate enough to track down another pair in my appropriate size. Karma? Perhaps.

Navy CXL WT boots x B&M today. Somewhat more casual boots for a Friday. They still dress up pretty well, though.
