Brooks News

October 7, 2008

Maybe the wide wonderful web has already scooped us on this, but this:

There will be a model called the Imperial. It is a resurrected old model that used to be called the Climax. It has a slot you know where, and drilled holes in the lower flaps, and seems to come with lots-o-laces of various colors, for lacing up the sag, if you get it. Availability in a few months or so.

Brooks has discontinued the wonderful B.68 in Antique Brown. That is too bad, but when Rich here told me that and asked if we should buy a little heavy on them, I said sure without going into or asking specifics. Let's just say we're well stocked, but there will be no more Antique Brown B.68s after this. Black, si; Antique Brown, no. I expect (read: hope to Zeus) that we're out by the end of the year.
