Did any of you take a gander at the Milkman Boot that was being offered by Blackbird? I'm trying to decide–once (if) they restock--between those and these Tankers as my second and last pair of boots: http://www.contextclothing.com/item.php?id=2244
They'd be used for everyday wear and I'd also like to be able to make the transition into semi-formal occasions.

I really wanted those Blackbird milkman boots, but they ran out of my size just when I got the courage up to purchase them. Those boots at Context look great, but $717 has me scared off. It seems like the price for a cordovan boot went up from 650 to over 700 in less than a year. I ended up buying the calf Epaulet Brixton boot instead.

These are my favorite boots. I want them so bad also.

I think the milkman boots were going for $649. When I'm shelling out that much, I'm not going to fret over a difference of $70 here or there. I might just wait for the M&Ms. If the context boots were Black Shell Cordovan I'd probably have gone that way.

anyone ever cop Aldens through these folks?
they have some insane make-ups.

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure Finn wants to avoid the bleeding issue he had with his RWs. Don't get me wrong, those are beautiful boots, but it would be a shame to fork out the coin and not be able to wear them with your favourite jawnz.
At least with a dark leather you can mitigate the visual affects of the inevitable.
