The McNairy Red Brick Sole chukkas look pretty good, and as pointed out above are Goodyear welted. I have no use for a chukka boot myself, but these would seem a realistic buy for those who do. While these are a fairly pleasing evocation of the Walk-Over chukka other styles in the range seem to try too hard: why four eyelets on the buck rather than the classic five? Why two-tone sport laces? Fiddling for fiddling's sake I suppose.

Rather than get Alden to produce hideous hybrids and custom make-ups of bad ideas I wish a retailer would get a reasonably large order of their bucks in white and dirty variants. I'm convinced they would sell as they are a classic example of the pattern: not a re-interpretation or a re-imagining, but the real thing.

I've just checked Oi Polloi again, and they're selling a loden green version of the Sanders bucks... also 4 eyelets...

BTW, I was just talking to Oi Polloi, and it seems that the snuff brown Playboy Gibsons are sold out...

I also gave them a little advise about the website: It says "true to size", which is wrong with the Sanders Playboys! You have to size up 1 size, because of the narrow toe box...

Does anyone remember the dirty buck that was on the J Press site last year?  Obviously made by Sanders with a slight broguing - I should have bought those when they were on sale......
