Six - are the cap toe brogues in the pic tan or brown? I need a light color for spring and summer and their website pic makes the shoe look brown. I'm looking for something like this:
CREATOR: gd-jpeg v1.0 (using IJG JPEG v62), quality = 90

They might not be exactly the same as the color of the shoes from The Armoury, but they're close. I think Carmina calls it calf cognac (they have the model in their site but not their webstore). From memory and my photos I think it's pretty close to tan--closer to tan than to medium brown.

Is the Alcudia as narrow as the Simpson?

From Narrow to Wide:

Man I hate to say it but I think I would be reluctant to do an MTO using cognac shell until I got a definite sense of what shade I would be getting. Seems a large gamble for such an outlay. Anyone interested in a high boot in one of the calf leathers? The Natur Marron looks pretty awesome. I was thinking Oscar last, york sole, storm welt maybe.

^ There will always be some variation, but if you specify "dark cognac" they'll know what you mean and you'll get something dark brown.

We have this model incoming in grain, on a rubber sole, with storm welts but the tannery Carmina use for grains are not delivering as promised (as many of you are well aware of). They keep pushing our delivery date, really frustrating but it's not Carmina's fault.

This is the grain we are making up the boot in(chestnut grain):

Hey, I just wanted to get some opinions. I'm debating between a pair of Crockett & Jones Tetbury's from P.Lal or waiting until February for the Carmina Chukka to come in February. Price is about $400 for the Tetbury's and something like $475 for the Carmina's. Suggestions/advice?

Do P Lal have the Tetbury in your size? They are no longer a C&J stockist so when their stock goes, it's gone.

Simpson and Alcudia are the same last except for a chisel and almond toe, respectively.

The captoe stitching on those boots is way off straight. Should have been picked in quality control IMO.

Beautiful shoes but be careful to stand back when (as Barry Mackenzie used to say) you need to "syphon the python".....
