Thanks @SoGent!!! I tried posting this a few damn ago but damn SF hasn't allowed me too.

I love the just juxtaposition of the u last with that beefy stitching. Looking forward to fit pics

thanks namor it was a little bit of a struggle for them to turn out right, this was the 3rd build of the boot as
that style is normally built on the F last but I like the result on the U a lot.

now that I have them, I wonder if goyser welt stitching would be too much on that boot

 

[RogerP]

sure, i'll find some time over the weekend. they are both on the U last.

they were delivered so friggin late I haven't worn them other than to try on, I'm not a boot guy in 95f temps

Here ya go.

So much awesome here.

Incredible boots. I might need a pair of these and one EG Nevis for my NST fix. Maybe the Carmina in navy shell.

I do think Goyser would take away from the sleekness that seems to be the point of the last. It's super sharp. Reminds me of hunting boots or something a Dracula killer would wear.

Thanks for the inspiration my man. And congrats.

delivery from Hungary today...this is the second of 4 boots I had ordered before epaulet started the Vass program... this is the Vass interpretation of the EG Nevis...Deep Cognac Cordovan F-Last

After looking at the Carmina thread - thought I might check out the GMTOs here. Nothing happening here?

Do you have any ideas for GMTO? I might be interested in 5 eyelet chukka.

No creativity from me at this current time but interestingly a chukka is something on my list. Funds willing. Although I will admit I'm partial to suede when it comes to chukkas but could go either way depending on the illustration/mock up.

Unlike Carmina, Vass doesn't charge an absurd premium for a single MTO. As a result, there is less of an impetus to pursue a GMTO, because they will sell you the shoe you want in the last you want in the materials you want without ****** your wallet for the privilege.

What is then average cost of a single MTO with Vass? I'm still waiting on the Epaulet GMTO museum calf double monks to arrive (going on almost a year now at this point), but if they fit well I'd probably be interested in getting something else done through Vass.

^^^ I have yet to order directly through Vass, but the majority of my purchases have been through European resellers and US dealers. Pricing can be a bit varied, but the single MTO price has never seemed to be that much higher than the standard stock price. If you have a particlar makeup in mind, contact Epaulet for a quote (I understand Vass does not ship directly to individual US customers any longer).

Thanks for the info! I think there used to be someone on SF that had a proxy service for Vass MTOs, I can try and look him up as well.

Vass has been pretty quick lately...a year wait doesn't make much sense
