Nice writeup. Hope to do the same at some point.A quick chat about Alfred Sargent. They seem to me slept on in general (all the talk is about Vass), but they are beautiful shoes. NMWA is carrying the top line RTW shoe by AS and the finishing on the shoes seem really top notch. Tried on the loafers, which are cut sharply and had to size up a half size to get a good fit. Something to consider (toe box was a bit narrow).
Really, can't recommend enough stopping by if you are in the city. Thanks again Greg for taking the time. I had fun.
The RTW NMWA carries is I believe the exclusive line (the best from AS being handgrade). That being said, AS exclusive might be some of the best quality/cost. Oak bark tanned channeled soles, and rather thick but fine leather. I'm personally a big fan of the Wilson and the single monks NMWA has in stock. Have seen many examples of 10-20 year old Alfred Sargent shoes holding up well at my place of work.
