The El Roy is the one I ordered.
I didn’t want the Escalante.
Can you get the ElRoy in a size 2 X?
If so, may I exchange the Escalante for the ElRoy?

I always enjoyed seeing your dad in your photos over the years – he looked like such a fun & loving man! I still remember how it caught my breath when I read that he’d passed away. I’m sure y’all share this sentiment spoken by one of my sons several years after the death of my dad, “I sure wish Grandpa would’ve lived longer.” 💔
