      B, thanks man.  Do you know if is this a soft toe? if you just add MP toe like I did, what will you get? And I wonder what he means by "taller heel 1339 last" - is that just the technical term for the MP last?

      Damn, I better call them vs. just placing an online order - I'll be a nervous wreck.

      And I assume their standard brown leather is pretty stout stuff - do you now if it is thicker than the Domain?

        No sweat, my man. That's definitely got the celastic. The toe box is pretty much flat on this last without it. as for the leathers; looks to me like the domain but i could very well be weong abput that. The standard oil is approx 7oz and the domain is approx 5oz. Ask Chris for some leather swatches 😉

        Oh yeah, and the #1339 last is the Narrow last, which is a D width version of the MP last that has been specially built for a higher heel.

          Thanks, very helpful. I'm going to call Chris to make sure I order the right thing.  Then the "the wait" begins.  Did you pull the trigger on yours??

            If you don't mind spending the extra money, I highly recommend getting the custom fitting. It worked great for me.

                Why preferably the old black tie leather?

                    @Superfuzz, Ah hah great and very relevant question, because the new stuff has a grey pull up quality to it, and does not have the same aniline finish. I wanted a more dress leather. I kinda feel like I'm taking a gamble with the new black tie, but figure it must be good, seeing as they've replaced the existing stuff. Just wish they offered a brown base/black aniline finished leather for patina purposes…

                          I thought Baker's couldn't sell the 1339 last (the MP toe with the taller heel), for licensing reasons or something like that?  Anyway that's good to know…

                          Also, do you need a liner with the domain leather?

                            They line the vamp as default, quarters no. The new domain absolutely does not need a liner in uppers not sure about the old stuff though

                            As for the 1339 last; my understanding is the 5yr lisencing agreement is up
