Nice. Who's the maker?


Looks like walnut shell AE to me.

Close, it is whiskey shell though
Going to guess vass, since I'm subbed on too many shoe threads.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner! Vass it is and W&T, I think we all can say we're on too many shoe threads.

C&J definitely makes a more "refined" looking shoe with cleaner lines and sharper angles but Vass does provide more custom work and sturdier construction.

I still believe a Skye 2 in whiskey would look awesome!

I've handled some walnut shell, the ones I came across were quite pale. In some pictures it was more red and deeper in color.

Cordovan coloring is a crapshoot when it comes to the brown shades.

Spend a bit of the holiday regretting I didn't get in on this order LOL.

Looking for a little advice at how Meermin's Hiro compares to C&J 325/341 .... I thought there would be a chance that someone from this thread would know ... Worth a shot!
