argh! for God's sake we're not even properly into the f/w season yet!!
Unfortunately , that's the dilemma you face . You either pay the full price for a ' waiting list ' directional item , as soon as the item of stock is delivered to the shop ( with the kind help , of course , of a considerate SA ) , like the boots , or you wait to pay sale prices at the end of the season for items that nobody wants at full price .
There's no in-between for such merchandise as the boots , which incidentally I rhink are GROSSLY overpriced .
WHY ? You could buy a pair of John Lobb, Paris , jodphur boots , RTW from the HERMES - owned shop on Jermyn Street , and still have change .
That's ALL I ever wear with my DIOR HOMME LUSTER , 4 pocketed leather jacket, which incidentally , I had to make a special order for at Browns , some 2 years ago . At least I got exactly what I wanted , and I'm SO pleased to read here on the site , that it's a much sought - after item .
( Please believe me that I'm NOT bragging , merely using my own experience as a guide for the unwary !!! ) .
Anyways , best of luck in your quest .
