Edward Green Appreciation: Pictures, Info, and Where to Buy

[NAMOR]



Felt "a bit blue (and Green)" today, so I took this pic. EG Galway in midnight blue (antique) and navy suede from Leffot. Accompanying timepiece is the Nautilus (with classic blue/green dial) by Patek Philippe.

winner!

The good news is that DHL just delivered my my Nevis in Mahogany Country Calf on the 606 last. The bad news is I got dinged $367 ($212 for duty, $145 for taxes plus $10 for a handling fee).

its boots like this why EG remains by the opinion of many - the best shoemaker in the world - despite terrible c.s.

Hi, I'm cross posting from the Edwards of Manchester sale thread since I realized this one is more appropriate (mods pls delete if I made a mistake). I'm looking to get my first pair of EGs, but am having trouble deciding on some options, and am wondering if and fellow SFers can chime in. 1) Galway or Alderley? I already have 2 pairs of rugged/casual captoe boots, but no brogues or wingtips. There's not much info on the Alderleys, but here's a photo: 2) Upper/lower leathers: a) chocolate nubuck/burnt pine, or b) rosewood country/antique nightshade calf? I'm looking to have something that can show off EG's burnishing the best and be versatile at the same time. Saw the nightshade color posted before here: and according to Leffot's it's something like dark purple, burgundy. I have a lot of #8 cordovans and this looks to be different enough. 3) I'm size 8.5 on Alden Barrie last. Would it be right to get 888 lasted in size 8E? Thanks in advance for your help!

what did you end up choosing?

The walnut country calf/dark oak might be the most perfect stock combination for the Galway. ?

True indeed.

I'm not a Galway fan as much as many on here, but, should I ever purchase a Galway, it will be this combination.

Thanks ddd! Don't need Galways, I have Islays.

Actually been thinking of a new purchase since I passed a professional exam recently. My options are:
-Dover in Edwardian or Maple (probably need to MTO)
-Tan balmoral wingtip: thinking Vass #75, Carmina, or C&J Clifford
-Alden #8 wingtip boots
-Galway with double leather (not Dainite) soles (again, probably need to MTO)

No rush as I'm moving to MI in a few months so I'm trying to hold any purchases until after the move.

I wore the tan Cliffords to a wedding this weekend and they went over really well. Great shoes. If you end up going with the Galway let me know, been spending a lotta time looking at EG boots lately.

Is that midnight and navy suede? I think that's my favorite Galway so far...

^Those galways in nightshade up there are pretty much exactly what I was thinking about with my previous post in this thread. Beautiful.

Here's mine from the weekend.

Yes, I can't decide if the midnight or the olive are my favorite.

midnight fa sho only because they may be a more natural fit with jeans..

 

[dlm4114]

Agreed re: jeans, but I'm pretty sure I'd wear those to a wedding too

navy boots look great with a tuxedo, particularly a navy tux

Fantastic. When I graduate to a big boy tux I think it'll be navy. What's your take on Shannons (or Epsoms) vs. Galways in terms jeans up through a tux? Btw, is that the 80092 on Forest?
