Very nice, Matt. I love the color of the Galway.

I really need to fill in that gaping suede hole in my own shoe wardrobe.

+1.

Also, just to get some ideas for myself from someone with good taste, with what do you plan to wear the EG Russells?

Thanks.

Flannels and cords mostly. I want to try them with a slightly lighter than navy hopsack suit that I have.

Very nice Matt. The finish on the Scafora is gorgeous. I am intrigued by the color of EG Russel in beige suede, it almost looks more like cream on my computer.

It is pretty light. I would say somewhere between cream and beige. It is actually a shade or two lighter than the sample that I ordered from. You also can't see the captoe in the picture very well.

Anyway, I wore the Russell's today with a pair of grey flannel pants. They actually work even better than I hoped. That is, at least in my opinion. Here is a pic, the pants got a little squirrley while I was trying to snap it.
