Anyone have any leads on what stores (online ideally) might still have the Jacobs in black left in stock? I can only find them in grey near me.

hmmm...that might be tricky. Have you considered the black Lazios? They are still available online and have the same silhouette minus the fringe! I have the green Jacbos and just got the black Lazios. I feel that the detail/fringe might get lost (be hard to see) in black on the Jacobs. Alternatively, the Lazios in black have the exact same shape as the Jacobs - from a distance they look really alike. But, if it's the fringe you are in love with then for sure it's the Jacobs you need! :p

yah - unfotunately I LOVE the fringe! It's right up my alley. I've been looking for some suede fringe in my life that's not too much a literal pull from the 70s. That's usually my story - too late to the game!

I think a lot of stores close to me locally bought the grey instead of the black for the same reason you mention that the fringe doesn't stand out as much. I just think I'd be able to wear the black a ton more than the grey.

It happened with my dickers where I got the gris and the black suede loving the gris more but all I've been wearing is the black and I haven't even worn the gris once yet.

Although perhaps maybe I'll be patient and see if she does anything with fringe in her upcoming collections as she seems to have done some variation of a boot with fringe in the past few collections?

jadecee, boxermom-thank you!

boxer mom, I know the red will be gorgeous. I love that you can see the inside red of the black/red as they are cut wide. The black/blue inside is beige.

Fair enough! Well you might find a pair in eBay. I haven't seen the black in a while but they will pop up. I got my Manlys a few years ago from a great seller in France. She was totally legit so no need to worry. That said, the SS13 show is on Friday!! I'll bet there will be another boot with fringe - but you may have to wait for her Fall show for more boots. good luck!!!
