Kow Hooooooo :-x?

all abt $$$ me thinks

Maybe Fishball has a wood shop at home and made it himself?

from what PG showed here, i would admit, that they are a good alternative to fill up ones rotation.

the welt/frame around the toe is a bit too exaggerated for my personal preference, but this might be a preference from PG. it also could be the angle of the pics, but it's still visible on the close up's. anyway.

sometimes you are tempting for a certain style and then you find out it's not exactly, what you want. i would be bothered if i had spent a fortune on such an "experiment".

lucky guys you are to have places like zee around.

correct

I wish I know how to make it.
I do have few old wood lasts at home and try to modify.
Yes, its all about money, actually many last factories are located in Canton.
And yes, this pair is a copy of my Kow Hoo last.

+1

I had mine sanded down significantly.


I just placed an order for a pair of brown wingtip bluchers on a relatively sleek last. Let's see how this turns out.

thank you for the "confirmation"

I'm thinking of ordering something like this EG:

in Navy Russian Calf, with Vibram 100 Ice & fire sole, any suggestion?

As promised, my new wingtip derbies from Zee's. Made a couple of adjustments to the last: taller toe box, tighter fiddled waist, higher vamp. The result is a more voluptuous shape. The shoes were originally unpolished since I don't trust their polishing techniques.

It look really good!

Wow, that last picture is really, really nice.
