I need some laces for my Trail Oxfords, like, yesterday.

[zhivago]

Any update on the loden for us G? Yes, I too suffer from the impatientence that plagues other forum members.

Hey Zhivago,  I have asked George to get a better photo up here.  I'll chase him.  G

[zhivago]

Thanks G, I am on the fence with another pair but depending on how green it is could be swayed towards getting one more.  They are some of the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned and seem to get better with each wear.

z, need flicks of your footwearz.

Need flics, period…...

Alright men,
Here is a photo to show how the leather compares in color to our current navy and brown chromexcel.

I so excited to make these for you guys.  This Loden Green Chamois isn't a standard leather for Oak Street or for Horween - it's a special order that we've done just for the forum members.  I know you guys want something special and different from the usual offerings and the chamois is a perfect way to set these shoes apart.  Chamois is a neubuck, and for this run i've decided to oil it to make it a little darker and to strengthen it.  This is a leather that will look uneblievable with wear.  It'll scuff up and get a great rough track to it over time while still molding to your foot and being super soft.

This is my favorite Oak Street shoe already, and I think we're only going to make 19 pairs for you guys - because I'm gonna make a pair for myself 

Also - I'll personally lightly burnish each pair and box them up for you.  Can't wait to make these for you all, and start seeing the worn photos here in this thread

Make that 17, I'm having 2 pairs - 1 Boat and one Boot…

Legit, when my 808's show up, I'll take some shots.  Back on track, thanks George.

To cop or not to cop, that is the question…

[madmonday]

you must  complete the trifecta.

that loden is the shit, nice & muted not sure what the heck i would wear it with but i likes.  better decide if i am jumping soon with a 19 pair run, yikes.

that is a limited run if i ever heard of one.  wonder about some of the other colorways i see in shops abroad & the ability to get them here in the states.  might pm georgie, wonder if george minds me calling him georgie, hahahahahaha

[Seul]

Well, I never completed the rider's trifecta… Only very briefly... 

[madmonday]
