Unpacking boxes…..here is one of the new items that just arrived – RBCB1 in Horween’s Moka Shell Cordovan, which the entire first delivery is headed to Leffot in New York City.

Built on 4A last, this has become the most popular chukka to date.  A very classic toe, updated 3-eyelet pattern and featuring Sestriere outsoles on a double-leather midsole and combination heel, this boot is meant to last – and be worn from dress to casual.  Oh, and don’t be afraid of the weather…..no special care needed – just wear em!

ps – clean up with a little Renoveteur from Saphir and an occasional wax or cream polish in dark brown.

Killing a little time this morning while visiting family – going thru some pics and remembered this one.  One of my favorite MTO’s…..got to do some RTW next year.

We were able to get a few pair made of the popular RBPB1 boot in Mahagoni Shell Cordovan, and finished them in the factory with a different base of cream for a little different look than the chukka boot we have done in this same Shell color.

This boot is available on a VERY limited basis at this time.

Next new item is RBCB6, which is our first 2 eyelet chukka done in roughout calf called ‘Mohawk’.  On this boot we feature stitchdown construction and the Sestriere outsole……very nice!

Very happy with the way RBCB5 in Kudu Waxy came out.

Built on 95 last, this next 3 eyelet chukka boot features the Sestriere outsoles and is also in production in ‘Flint’, which is a nice charcoal color.  The Kudu Waxy has a fantastic hand….very mellow.

…and inside were a few specials -

Nice job, all!

Ron

in stock…..found enough to make 7 pair.  Should be available next week:

I did request one change…..I asked that the pattern include 9 eyelets, instead of the previous 5 + 4 pattern.  Six in one, half dozen the other to me, but some clients have asked for full eyelets, so I thought I would try it out and see what the reaction is.

edit – WERE PRODUCED THE NORMAL WAY….NEVERMIND!

We are getting our deliveries of both new and fill-in stock boots next week.  I will be working with clients at  Leffot on Thursday the 5th in NYC and getting everything organized as soon as I return here after.  And this blog is due for a big re-do…..will be working on it next weekend so you can see better what we have on-hand and coming.

Next up is a cool Chelsea boot in Kudu Waxy with a Vibram Lug sole and heavy-duty welting.  The anti-Beatle boot.

 

 

  

RBCH1 will be available in the pictured ‘Gaucho’ color, as well as ‘Flint’, which is basically a charcoal color, for $595.

Next up is RBCB6, which is a new 2 eyelet chukka boot with Stitchdown (leather is folded out over the midsole and stitched with the Rapid stitcher) done in Mohawk roughout uppers on a Sestriere sole and heel.  Strong boot…..
