rikod and dlind - great stuff gents!

Thanks, wore the monks today and they are SO comfortable! A huge difference from any of my previous shoes. Here is an in the wild picture.

My latest Vass addition. A pair of Budapest oxfords in 6139 cognac on F-last, single sole, sunken rubber toe taps:

Very nice!

I just received my two pair of shoes, one par of double monks and one pair of Old English both on the U last and in antique cognac. I also ordered three pair of belts. I must really recommend Vass and Rezo to all that are thinking about ordering, I got the size 0.5 wrong on the first pair I bought and Rezo changed them in to a more appropriate size without and hesitation! The quality speaks for itself, simply amazing, easily the best quality I have handled. The colour is a bit lighter then in the pictures.

Is it a suede belt in the middle? I bought a pair of suede shoes from Vass i Feb and asked Rezsö if they had suede belts. He told me that they only had box calf belts to sell.

Yes that is a suede belt. That's weird, its in their mid brown suede. Might add that I think I ordered in late feb.

Someone help me identify all the colours in this image please? This was posted before, but no identification was done.

I'd say, from left: oxblood, black, antique cognac, dark brown, 6319 cognac (or maybe cognac), 6125 dark cognac. The double monk is harder, not sure if it's oxblood again or Bordeaux.

Does anyone know if vass charges more if I want to do a 2 leather derby? Like scotch grain/calf combined. Thanks! Because I got quoted 520 euros without shoe trees and toe taps. Was wondering if it was the price increase or the design.

Can someone post a comparison shot of calf cognac vs 6319 cognac vs antique cognac please?

I can't tell the difference between 6319 cognac and cognac. 6319 is rarely heard of.

Cognac is a bit more "yellow"
6319 Cognac is a bit more "orange"
Antique Cognac is a bit more "red"

By a bit, I mean the undertone of the polish, the colors are by no means yellow, orange, or red

Google the colors, I'm sure you will find 100s of pictures

100s of pictures under different lighting, so all are useless.

Anyone can do a side-by-side comparison shot? And where does dark cognac fit into all this?

I can't do a side-by-side comparison with different shoes, but the vendor described this pair as sporting three shades of cognac, so perhaps it might help:
