NY Tanker

Great looking tankers! Mine are brown CXL from LS.

Love the NST and Tanker boots. I need some!

Fransboone does this same exact makeup.  Snuff suede LWB with brass eyelets, so I basically just copied their design after I saw them (my pair is from AoM + modificaiton)

Close up pics would be appreciated if you get a chance. These are single or double waterlock?

 

[Handcuffed]

That's from Leffot, right? Not AoM?

Very cool makeup. I'm lusting so hard for an NST or Tanker right now.

I'm waiting on plaza nst from yenni

Sure thing, and my snuff LWBs are double waterlock (model 9794)

Ravello LWB today. I need to clean up the edges, but am hesitant to mess up the lovely Alden antiquing.

Scotch grain LWB from B+M : thanks, Yenni!

Snuff suede LWBs today (brass eyelets by randy the cobbler)

Well played gentlemen.

Me? These are from Madison. Leffot does a flat welt.

Unlined Suede Chukka question - do you size up 1/2 size for them?

I have unlined bluchers and unlined penny loafers, but both are 12D (Barrie and Van). Otherwise I'm an 11.5D Barrie, 12C Van, 12D Hampton, 12D Aberdeen when models are lined/structured.

Trying to decide whether to keep a pair of 11.5D unlined chukkas in 11.5 or size up to 12D. The are VERY tight now, and probably won't stretch out much...

Thanks for feedback

Unlined suede chukkas are normally on the Leydon last. Based on your sizes, a 12 would be a better fit.

I always thought they were on Barrie for some reason. That must be why the unlined bluchers in 12D fit better. I just thought it was a lined vs unlined thing.

So, does anybody want brand new 1492 dark brown chukkas, size 11.5D, in a slightly beat up box (with Alden shoe bags) for $400 before I return them to the retailer?
