Just got these J&M off the bay and they are absolutely wonderful! Great fit and comfort thus far and look amazing on top of it!

Did you snag those off eBay? I was waffling over some on eBay and missed out. They look great!

Yes, but it was last November. I have since added the eyelets and had the edges of the sole sanded down and clear coated. This can be seen in the attached when they needed some good brushing. They are really quite comfy.

Ah OK, the ones I was looking at were sold in the last few weeks. Nice work.

Thanks guys, it was a grail to me after the first time I saw it. I was lucky enough to snag them brand new from a fellow member for only $700 a few years ago. Truly a cherished model in my collection.

Wore these at least 3 times this past week, serious comfort.

Nice. I picked up a pair in natural/caramel shell as well, just got them in the mail today. Will try to post pics later on today!

@Burzan
Those are F'n beautiful.

Kinda crummy quality pics with poor lighting, but here are a few quick shots of the Rancourt natural/caramel shell loafers.

My camera skills pale in comparison to Burzan!
