        Well the expected "due date" of them was a few months ago.  I knew it was going to be at least a year wait from the get-go.  So they were scheduled to be done (mostly) within this timeframe.

        "Two years ago, we sat down with Art Tarlow, the owner of Alden Shoe and came up with these two models, our first in natural CXL."
        – I reckon if the owner himself had a hand in these, he didn't care if it took longer to make sure they were perfect.

        --The tanker boot itself has a unique touch that could add extra time as well.
        "The Mock and Norwegian skin stitch toe detail is done completely by hand (Alden is the only American shoemaker skin stitching by hand) using two needles and two threads- no more than 6 boots are completed per day."

        Either way, the boots are quite excellent.

                            Not atm but I will throw some up for you when I get home today. Almost wore them but stupidly decided on a pair of suede bucks in the rain…

                                derivative, you've only further convinced me. I sense a pair of Whiskey Longwings in my future.
