Any chance of calling the black with black dainite the "Orwell Boot?"

Thanks for the info but I already have the snuff suede austerity brogue. I get tons of complements on it!!

Will the black calf austerity brogue boot have a grey suede neck similar to these?

Absolutely, I can fire that up this week. That shoe was ace!
Oh, sorry, I left out the black boot - we'll definitely offer that one too!

Was the initial suede austerity shoe on a single leather sole? Can we do a double sole on that this round if people are interested? I do a lot of walking in the city and the single sole just doesn't feel as good as a double.

I may be interested in the austerity shoe on a double leather sole. Any interest in doing that shoe in cognac shell as well as suede?

You will be fine with the 12UK. I too wear that size and have 4 Carmina in 3 different lasts. Simpson/ runs on the narrower width and toe box through the other end of last spectrum with Robert/ Queens. Your width is slightly narrower than mine as a C, but as the Euro makers don't generally size widths as specifically as US, you have to live with the width. Remember, Sizing from a "C" to a mid width "D" in Alden and AE is only 3/16" . With Carmina, C&J, EG etc... the last truly does dictate the footbed width

Dang..the black part looks REALLY GOOD.

Also, is the burnished calf a similar hue to Saddle shell?

Mike showed an example of the burnished calf here: http://www.styleforum.net/t/277505/epaulet-x-carmina-mto/2100_100#post_6041726

I saw that and it looks pretty close to Saddle, at least to the pair I have. That's why I asked. I'm torn between the burnished calf and black.

Ah, that makes sense. I just thought you might have missed it. I'll probably be torn between full Snuff, and black, with my decision probably being based on the soles.
