I will need to annoy you with questions about sizing also.

Size down a 1/2 from TTS (They Stretch and I am sure this leather is no different)…

[hectic]

Ta Lando.

Perhaps I can get a half size for once in my life….(the yeti's curse)

Is it possible to see a few more pics? Perhaps along side the brown or blue or even both for some reference. Thanks!

[riffblaster general]

well…..this just threw my world into upheaval.

All lines from UK to Chicago are prolly overloaded because I'm hassling him too…..

[elclintor]

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.

[Giles]

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.

[Giles]

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

[Giles]

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.
