Okay - the colour DpprDr posted is the one I want - so slate must be it.  I think cloud must be the lighter grey colour that I still like very much, just not quite as much as I like the darker slate.

Thanks for the help gents.


that hurts. you like Dppr's color better? What happened to us? Its like you dont even know me, RogerP

From the Leffot web site: Indigo Suede (center) | Cardinal Suede. I don't have links for all EG colors. I suspect all is a moving target, anyway. Browsing the Leffot site, you'll see a great variety.



does anyone here have a link that shows the range of EG leathers? i'm intrigued by these mentions of indigo and cardinal...
i agree with this pretty much word-for-word, except that i'd probably lean nightshade (nightshade dovers..?), but that's mostly just because my last two orders have been in navy

^^ whoa yeah, cardinal is definitely a 10. the indigo up there didn't seem as wild to me (sorta like a lighter navy?) but ymmv of course. thanks for the links!

here are some more slate/cloud pics in case anyone's still curious, all from leather soul:

westminster, slate antique:

that's a more subtle contrast between black and slate than i anticipated. LS labeled all of these as "slate antique," what are the differences (if any) between that and just slate calf?

I find it very easy to darken shoes, especially those in the red/burgundy color family. I would have kept them and polished them with black and burgundy until I had the color I wanted.


Point well taken, but I'd rather get the color I want if spending $1,000+ on shoes. I got a JL model in plum museum calf instead. The color, for what I wanted, is perfect.

Those are outstanding. Great combination of shoes, laces, socks, and trousers. Maybe I'll amend my rating on Indigo from 9 to 8. It depends on the light. In certain light, they do seem brighter and bolder.

Indigo is not that bright. I agree it's a lighter shade of Navy
