I'm confused by this statement because I've definitely seen ostrich and alligator (or was it croc) wallets at the larger boutiques. Usually only one as a SO example.
what can be SO from LV?

I should have been more specific...
ush: Sorry about that.I too have seen/heard of wallets being SO'd in exotic leathers. Wallets are the only things considered Small Leather Goods that are an exception that I can think of at the moment.

Ah ok
From my understanding, Special Orders and Custom Orders are the same thing. Louis Vuitton will make anything that you wish and have been doing it for more than a hundred years as it's in the tradition of Louis Vuitton. Louis Vuitton started off as being a box maker for trunks and understands that people adapt differently to items and the items should compliment the customer. So Louis Vuitton has a Special Order factory in France that does hundreds of requests per month and makes new items just to please the customer in every line that Louis Vuitton produces on a regular bases, excluding exotic skins. Please correct me if I'm wrong and where I can read up on this further because I'm relying on what Louis Vuitton told me.
I'd love to hear where you guys heard that some lines can't be special ordered. I've heard people on this forum say there's restrictions, but I haven't heard any back up. 
MC can not be SOd because of the contract with MurakamiI'd love to hear where you guys heard that some lines can't be special ordered. I've heard people on this forum say there's restrictions, but I haven't heard any back up.
I may believe that, but I know for a fact that Louis Vuitton special orders in Epi, Suhali, Damier, Vernis, exotic skins and many other lines including the classic monogram all the time. I've even had the pleasure of seeing some of Louis Vuitton's work in those lines.
I always hear of people saying there's restrictions and I'd love to know some back up.
That's a part of Louis Vuitton's work for special orders is producing small goods for their customers. They do, in fact, do it for their customers and have been doing it for a very long time.

If you know that certain smaller items CAN be SO'ed then wouldn't you know what lines can't be SO'ed as well?
Can you name a few examples, excluding exotic skin wallets?
Well I thought you had knowledge about Louis Vuitton. Although I'll inform you. The most famous special orders were the Edinburgh Escarelle in Damier that was made for a client of Louis Vuitton, The Manicure Set in Monogram Canvas for a client's luggage collection, a Baby Bottle case in vivid red Epi leather for a client's baby. This may not be a small item, but a Conductor's Batton Box in Monogram Canvas for a conductor. These were all made with the tradition of Louis Vuitton to please the client of Louis Vuitton with their collection. They've been doing it ever since the day Louis Vuitton was born.
Can you name a few places where you heard otherwise?

I'm not understanding you.
Yes, but they might come out with one later and if you SO it you would be paying much more for it. I remember people SOing the Damier in the 30 and paying a hefty price and then it came out shortly afterward!
