^^^ well I haven't seen it, so I don't know.

Anyone else think Notch is now sorry he asked for pic requests?

Think he'll be fine if a couple of orders come from it!

Go to JL store and look at their leather samples...

^^^ Thanks, I'll see if Leatherfoot has any samples when I go there for the St. C. trunk show. They are the only local source for Lobbs.

@notch any non-stock or unusual leathers, always nice to see what other options they have beyond the standard stuff

Incoming by next week (I hope!). Oxblood K last Old double monks, double to single sole and metal toe plates 40EU

I've learnt (the hard way) with sizing. I initially went 1/2 a size up from the F Last which I know some of the guys do for the U and K lasts, but I found the first pair I received to be a tad big especially in the heel.

I'm another person the category of taking the same size in all lasts...

Edited - got to say thanks to ilovelobbs, RogerP and DpprDr for the additional advice and opinions on sizing!

 

[RogerP]

^^^ Excellent choice - I hope the fit is on the money this time.

Jeez, D! You still working on your sizing!?
Hope it works out this time.
Got no love for the monk but oxblood is on the must have list

Ridiculous I know! There is nothing like a brick and mortar store to physically try on for size and it's a ballache and gamble especially with more costly shoes like Vass!

Are you buying direct or thru Notch?

Both initial pairs I've bought have been through Notch - I can vouch for his services!!

Notch - any pics of the merlot museum/misty calf?
