Anyone know who makes the brown shoe? Or, anyone that makes something very similar?

based on a few searches within the forum, i have come to the conclusion that:
A) vass seems hard to come by, inconvenient possibly
B) the cost is out of my price range
so anything close that is wingtip-esque to that shoe in the pic?

There was a very similar pair of Sutor Mantellassi that was sold on the B&S a few weeks back.
Otherwise, do a search on austerity brogues to find more makers/ideas

I do hope that isn't the case.
As for cheaper options, what are you able to spend? Martegani do a similar style of shoe which can be seen here:

And if the price is the same as usual for Martegani dress shoes then they should be $500, but I'm only familiar with buying through francos.
It would be worth contacting Ron through the blog.

The Edward Green Beaulieu is very simmilar, but probably out of your price range too.

The Drummond is nice, and it's on the 348. It's not an auserity brogue, though. The Tavistock, which is a handgrade model on the 337, is CJ's austerity brogue. And on discount in a few sizes: http://www.creativesports.co.uk/acat...n_Ends___.html

As I recall, his shoes are made by Zee's in HK. They are plainly modeled after the Vass U Last austerity brogue, which I believe is the m.o. of Zee's from what I've seen. No idea on the quality. Sutor does in fact make a similar austerity brogue that looks very similar, at least on my feet.

- these were made by Zee's whilst I was impatient waiting for my VAss MTO..
- FWIW they are great value
