ALFRED SARGENT Appreciation: Handgrade, Exclusive, etc. - Page 2

lee, love your MTO models

Yep. Since I have both the Carmina and AS, they are indeed very similar. I put them side to side and the lasts even have the same silhouette. However, the Ramsey fits me better. I had to use tongue pads for the Carmina because I was getting quite a lot of heal slippage. Quality wise, the Carmina is shell, and AS is calf so that's comparing apples to oranges. Both are quality shoes no doubt though.

Thank you. It was when AFPoS was doing SINGLE MTO shoes........oh how I do miss that.....now it's SIX pairs or no go.

They're Exclusives modeled on these Alden for Leather Soul in #4 & black shell.

 

I ordered them last Dec. & expected them in March. Chay told me in March that they were behind schedule & then in April that the 1st pair had been damaged in the factory. Back to the starting point. I'm sure they'll be worth the wait.

Pimlico (Exclusive Grade from AFPOS)
Color Chestnut
Last 106







I've posted these before - but thought I'd help this thread get started.

I'm VERY happy with the quality of these shoes - especially the leather. It seems quite similar to the leather used on G&Gs.

Very lickable sole!

Unfortunately I forgot to specify that they be snozberry flavored.

They've already been to India and back. Had maybe 6 or 7 wearings so far. Here they are on wearing number 4.



I agree - they are going to age beautifully.

You are meticulously ridiculous with your wear counts!

You are actually not too far wrong. These were on the uncomfortable side of tight in the toe width when new. But are now getting on the comfortable side of tight. I sized down to a 6.5 UK in a fit of bravado but this last (106) is pretty narrow in the toes.

But for now they are mine and I'll thank you to keep your smelly feet out of them!

I take pictures most every weekday for the rock your socks thread. I have them all saved. So that gives me a pretty good guess.

I assume no one is going to take me to task on being off by a wearing or two - so don't get too impressed. I don't keep a log book or anything obsessive like that.
