Quality / price ratio - Vass

Quality price goes to Vass? Aren't Vass like 650-700 a pair?

At that price they would still be good value, fortunately they are considerably less. ~€400 in calf iirc.

From where? I have never seen them BNIB that cheap.

Order directly from Vass.

I wear a 13US. Does Vass make RTW shoes in that size yet? Also, is Bespoke and MTO the same in terms of their pricing?

There is a good thread on Vass already, lets not derail this one. Specific comparisons etc still might have their place here though. I also recommend you read 10+ pages of the thread before asking as there was just some discussion about the same questions popping up every 2-3 pages.

Holy ****, look at the shine on that center pair. Phenomenal.

I've been thinking about ordering through http://gentlemensfootwear.tumblr.com as the minimum of 6 people needed for skoaktiebolaget seems to have fallen through.

In the dark brown (Natur Marron) colour:

Does anyone happen to have any pictures of the Natur Marron colour after a bit of wear? Does it lighten significantly?

Hey everyone, just doing a final interest check in this MTO option. We only need 2 people to avoid the MTO costs.

Please PM me if you're interested

Damn so much Carmina competition now

And local to me. I'm not going to complain (assuming they open a retail location)

Thank you! We at Unipair think your selection of Carmina and Edward Green is excellent!

Thank you! There are not many things more beautiful than a pair of freshly shined shoes.

Thank you!  There are not many things more beautiful than a pair of freshly shined shoes.

Not surprisingly, I am in full agreement on this

If you don't mind me asking, how did you achieve such a shine? Just wax? I waxed my first pair of shoes just last week, and am getting a better shine, but it's still not as good as yours.
