Shouldn't that be a 42 or is my Vass sizing off?

Oxblood it says. Love the richness of the color.

Can you please post more complete side shots of the chukka and boot?

These photos are not mine. Have a look here...for many more. http://www.flickr.com/photos/34481664@N02/sets/ How can you beat these.....just gorgeous shoes.

Did order new pair when visiting Budapest last week. 118.500 HUF (including Trees, including shipping, including 10% cash payment discount). Can wait till the end of Jan'11 for them to arrive.

Can someone tell me what the F last size would be if I wore a 8.5UK in Lobb 7000 last?

Nope. I'm an 8.5D in most AE and am a 41 in Vass U last.

 

[nmprisons]

not to derail, but i am an 8.5D in almost every american shoe and am a 42 U-Last, AP is an 8.5 and a 41.5 U last, just to add to the confusion.

Want, real bad.

Definitely shoes with lots of attitude.

Great collection. I'd love to get my sizing down so I can get on teh Vass. Is your loafer on the F last as well? If so, how differently does it fit than your other lace-ups?

 

[Pliny]

The whiskey shell oxford stands out for me in that line-up; and the loafer is classic - the epitome of the penny loafer style. - The apron looks hand-stitched too.

 

[brax]

All are wow but oxford saddle is WOW!

 

[Slewfoot]

kolecho - Those all look superb. Can't wait for my whiskey meltons! One question though: why no derbies? Do the oxfords just fit you much better?
