I'm beginning to think about a spring/summer style...maybe the Carmina Burnished green loafer? When would be have to order for the shoe to be delivered in early April?

Also, I shot some photos of "Ruby" shell cordovan too. It's a gorgeous shade and quite wearable IMO. It doesn't make up too red, and looks more like a lighter, saturated Color 8. It's gorgeous, and would look great in this style. Pretty rare color.
Agreed, that one is great. If you guys are into a more off-kilter suede color like grey, forest green, navy, etc. we could do that.

With respect to the Armoury, I'd rather not make up one of their stock shoes as an MTO project. I would absolutely advise anyone interested in these shoes to get them from the Armoury, they're great people.
