Shameless plug that I have listed a similar pair but with Christy sole in the sales thread. Probably the most versatile shape for moccasins. Enjoy!

I have sadly developed Morton's neuroma and can't wear my beloved Russell Moccasins x Nepenthes chukkas, size US 9/UK8/EU 42. Roughout Laramie leather uppers in near perfect condition, rawhide laces. Christy soles, some life left in them but resoling down the line should not be difficult. I would say fit is true to Brannock size, probably a D width, with medium weight socks. Have always used shoe trees. If you're in Europe, here is the listing on another site, with right-side-up photos. https://www.vinted.fr/items/3748186772-chukka-moccasins-russell-x-nepenthes-new-york-engineered-garments Asking 200 Euros/190 pounds/$220 US etc. Paypal, Wise transfer etc. I think shipping from France should be about 30 euros w/in Europe, we can split. North America...maybe 50 euros, maybe less? Really, these are forever shoes so looking for a new caretaker. (i.e., SuFu discount...) Shoot me a PM and let's talk chukkas.., Do I know why these photos are upside down? I do not!

Thank you. Will post there. Edited: They are in the community sale thread. If you're looking for some versatile Russells in a size 8 uk/9us/42 at a good (SuFu discount) price, please have a look. Thanks much.

Apologies for shilling here, have no idea what's going on with classifieds in SuFu anymore. I have sadly developed Morton's neuroma and can't wear my beloved Russell Moccasins x Nepenthes chukkas, size US 9/EU 42. If you're in Europe, here's the listing. (And if you can tell me how to advertise on SuFu will gladly do so) https://www.vinted.fr/items/3748186772-chukka-moccasins-russell-x-nepenthes-new-york-engineered-garments Really, these are forever shoes so looking for a new caretaker.

Just picked up 3 Sunray Ts. Excellent fit, really TTS for a typical US/European medium (as they should be for a UK company). Maybe slightly tight around the neck but that usually stretches anyway. Fabric is a teeny bit lighter than I thought but really nice hand out of the box. The length, as promised, is slightly longer than other brands, which is a +/- depending on torso/desired fit. What I really like are the colors, I got sage green/gray heather/light blue and they're nice and muted rather than shouty. They seem to ask for a delicate, inside-out wash so will do that...

I personally don't like the way denim chinos fade. That said, I am a huge chino/khaki fan in general. Some of my favorites: Tellason straight fit made from Cramerton cloth (very traditional American trousers, mid rise); Engineered Garments Workday Type 41 (excellent fabric, breaks in nicely, very trad fit); Burgus Plus type 401 (mercerized cotton, tough as nails but break in nicely). If you can find the "original" Bills Khakis in Cramerton cloth -- those were great; had a pair in the late 90s. Sadly the company went down hill soon after. An interesting pair I'm just starting to break in is A Vontade officer pants -- high-count, refined cloth, generous but not sloppy rise, great details like a big flap behind the fly to keep things tidy. I'm also interested in The Quartermaster chinos from Italy but the rise looks daunting...
