Edward Green Appreciation: Pictures, Info, and Where to Buy

Very nice. Glad it turned out well in the end.

cwh812, this is great news glad it worked out. could you compare the differences between vanilla asquith and top drawer? I feel like asquith is one of the best shoes of all time, how did EG improve with TD?

While at Leffot we put it next to a RTW Asquith. It is really the finishing. The way they treat the leather is different - seems to have been polished differently - more care put into it. I'm not sure if it is a different leather, but it feels and looks a little different - softer - smoother burnishing.

The shape of the shoe seems more streamlined to the last - they seem narrower. I think this might be a visual effect due to the waist. One of the most pronounced differences is the sole, waist and heal. All are different versus standard EG and more refined (for lack of a better word).

Some of you might remember that I had a pair of Asquith stolen. I had just gotten them back from a recraft. I was able to get the insurance money which I used towards a Top Drawer in the same model. I am extremely happy with how they came out.

Lol - didn't even notice that until you said something. Not that it matters one bit.

What is the color on the pair of Galways on the right? Burnt Pine?

Any guesses? And I'm wondering how a walnut country calf would look against it?
