              are any products planned to be made out of the wabash material, that do not have the wabash discharge pattern on it?  seems it would make some really interesting products . . .

                    Maybe some people can chime in here on a question I have.  For the summer, I am in desperate need of new shoes, as I have noticed that all I really have left at this point are one pair of clark boat shoes.  What I suggest may not exactly fit what everyone thinks of as "summer," but whatever, I live in Canada now.

                    So I have narrowed it down as such.  Something in the Tan-Brown Suede or Leather.  Crepe sole just because I like them.  Chukka or boat type shoe.  Will be worn with jeans.

                    Major options I am seriously intersted in:

                    Russell Moccasin - Sporting Clay chukka in Tan Laramie suede

                    Yuketen Angler moc

                    Red Wing Handsewn

                    Again, you may not agree with the style, but just to give people an idea of what I want.

                    Any other suggestions?

                    Opinions on which way I should go?

                        The people over at Russell didn't mention the Munson for a suede build, but of course, they can't remember everything.  I will have to give it a look now.

                        Giles, do you know which build beatle used?

                            Many times, but I was looking more for the plantation crepe sole, which I don't think is really an option.

                                    Those are mine.  You see them on my feet in just about every WAYWT photos.

                                    You just ask for a Laramie Munson Chukka with a tan leather mid sole and a neoprene cushion crepe sole

                                      Wait, why is that crepe sole black.

                                      Excuse my stupidity, but I was looking a crepe sole like the one on the anglers.  I assumed when I talked with Russell that was the type they meant.

                                        Russell call it the 4007 Neoprene Cushion Crepe.  Maybe it comes in different colours, call them…..

                                          I went scouring and found this post by Beatle, so I am pretty sure they have it:

                                          @Beatle:

                                          pretty much the same , different sole…and laces
