Now for some fresh-squeezed news: "Tavistock" is now available to Pre-Order in dyeable Ivory! This is a LIMITED PRE-ORDER - I've already ordered these boots, they'll be here at the end of May, and the stock numbers are set, so if you want to get in on these, place your order now (you also get a nice discount for being so cool).
