I'm considering something similar to yours too Alan, but instead on an 888 last. Either:
1) Galway: Chestnut Antique with Rosewood Country Calf shaft, Dainite Sole,888 last
2) Galway: Burnt Pine Antique with Chocolate nubuck shaft, Dainite Sole,888 last
My main concerns is to have something versatile with suits, chinos and denim and also to have something to can show off EG's excellent antiquing/finishing. I'm stuck in the same spot and any suggestions would be great!
