        There are a few shops that stock them, Lando got them from Wharf in the US.  EndClothing in the UK has them, maybe others.

        I understand the idea of putting down money and not getting the product for a while isn't ideal.  I'm just lucky to be in a position where that isn't an issue.  I believe George has addressed the issue as to why they do it like this and how they're trying to build a small stock, but that probably doesn't make you feel better.

        Not to get nitpicky but what are you getting for $500?  The most expensive pair I see are $356, but maybe you're figuring in taxes, etc.

        Anyway, I agree with Seul, emailing George is probably your best solution.  Hopefully you're able to get a pair!

          wanted to get the brown loafer and the navy oxford to safe shipping <_<

          yeah, everything is fine, I got it now and just try to be patient.

                I have to say, these are the comfiest shoes/boots I have ever bought.  Straight from the get go I have been able to wear them for long perids with no issues whatsoever.  Looking forwards to getting the brown boat shoe - should be here soon…..

                          Yup, you'll be fine.  With no socks you may even think about going to an 8.5 but you should email George and ask him.  You're definitely safe in a 9.

                            Hi all

                            Noob here… hope you dont consider me rude just registering and coming straight in with a question.

                            Was wondering whether any of you guys in the UK who have ordered from OSB directly could give me an idea of how long delivery usually takes. I seem to remember USPS are extremely slow from a previous item i ordered from the US.

                            My shoes were dispatched 4/4/11, and the tracking is showing no updates after 9 days, only that they have been notified to expect the parcel.

                            How long did you guys have to wait?

                            Lee

                              In future ask me to get 'em picked up by UPS.  My deal is way cheaper than USPS and only takes 3 days.  I'll recharge you….

                                    anyone (Lando I'm looking in your direction) handled the new Epaulet shoes? they look much like OSB's offerings, are hand-sewn in Maine (does everyone in Maine work in the shoemaking business), Horween leather, look pretty nice for the money.

                                      Yep, they look good (those from epaulet).
                                      No, I think there is just one shoe factory in Maine producing for everyone.

                                        sure makes you wonder, are all these shoes (epaulet, OSB, bean, yuketen, eastland, quoddy) pretty much the same, with a different name stamped on the inside?

                                        kinda like a lot of the "premium" new US jeans lines… same denim, different patch

                                            I think it's fair to say that even if there's some overlap with production (though as Seul said, OSB says they do not use the same factory as others) there is a difference in the materials used/offered, styles, and variance in construction.

                                            I'm sure you know, but you run into this with other garment production.  IE Gitman makes their own shirts, as well as Band of Outsiders, Thom Browne, etc.
