I have seen the plum finish. I almost quit my job to become an apprentice.

Well I have been there and not looking for hookers... the standard decent girls are simply delicious and with $6000 to blow on the trip you can get some!!!

I'd buy some shoes with the money left when back home

Even if I had to borrow money to extend the budget, i'd make sure I had these by Gaziano.

Guyot builds with blake stitch, I heard, so i never considered his work.

Yes, that may be true. But he sure wields a mean color palette!

I think that they are nice shoes, but not the best rtw out there, there are a few Italians that make better. Value for money it is pretty bad. In Europe, those run you about Euro 900 - for Romanian made shoes??? Vass is a much better value at Euro 500.

I've always understoof St.Crispin to be Austrian instead of Rumanian.

Though styled a Viennese marque, the workshops are in Romania.

Those Rumanians are rather deceptive.
