My nyoo babies! Gold museum OEII on New Peter. (I'm assuming this is the Hass meseum due to the huge colour difference to Ilcea's) Massive thanks to @Terrorsquad for the hook up!

OEII? Or just OE? Beautiful either way. And I like it on the P2. I'm rethinking F for mine now.

Yeah, take into account the only light in the room is from low volt light bulbs and the nexus 4 camera sucks. I do agree Roger's look much better but I'd also say they don't look gold! (Rose gold maybe) :D


Looks aside, how's the leather? Do they feel supple?

Sorry, my bad. OE it is

Good question, how does it feel in comparison to the regular box calf? Worth the up charge?


They feel as good if not better than my box calf ones and the leather feels much better than my Meermin museums (Ilcea)

Oh, Jubei. I got these for less than my U lasts which I got direct from Vass so more of a down charge really! :D

Pepe from Meermin also said the same thing - that Haas' museum is of better quality vs. Ilcea's. I will get my museum calf from Meermin next week (also sourcing from Haas). I will compare it to my Ilcea museum from Vaas and let everyone know my observation

Of course Meermin did apparently use ball sac leather on my pair so it wasn't a stretch to improve on it

Congrats, Oz, and nothing stretches like ball sac...

Did you say TS is cheaper than Vass direct? Is that just because you're dodging the 27% Hungarian VAT when normally you can't as you're inside the EEA? I think I need to talk to TS either way!

Its the only explanation I can think of!


Doesn't it get too tight to wear on a cold day?


I just put my socks on over my shoes :D

Does anyone know if Vass offers shearling or fur lining as an option? Would be great for a boot in winter.
