    The Official Leather Artisans Appreciation Thread

    This is my feedback on my ordering process with Scott. I initially got in touch with Scott in mid January to have a wallet made. After agreeing on the details Scott gave me an estimated time of completion of around mid to late February. No payments had been made at this time. Since I had not...

    Very nice. Are those shell? P2 last? Yes, they are what Vass calls Cognac shell. It's the Peter last. P2 unfortunatley is too narrow for me.

    Most comfortable brogues shoes

    Hey all, I am looking for a pair of brown brogues style shoes. Which are the most comfortable brogues shoes available? Thank you. Matt. It's really difficult to answer this question without knowing the details about your foot, such as shape, length, width, shape of the arch, etc. The...

    Shoe Damage Report & Appreciation Central - Part I

    Yes it is that simple. There's no secret or anything to hide. They make shoes, they like to sell their shoes, you call/email/visit them, they sell you their shoes. LOL, thanks. I was just under the apparently wrong impression that I could not order direct from Vass.

    Shoe Damage Report & Appreciation Central - Part I

    go direct Pardon my thick head, I'm not following. Are you saying it's as simple as picking up the phone and calling Mr. Vass, or sending an email? If you'd rather not say, I'm cool with that.

    WW Chan- basted photos

    +1, Yet another positive data point pushing me toward choosing finally Chan. The only thing I'd recommend with Chan is that if you're into a soft shoulder, you'll really have to make it clear. I got measured last spring for a jacket and while I really like how it turned out, my jacket's...

    Looks very nice. The shoulders look just right. Did you get measured in DC at the Hilton?

    Who is the source used for these customized Vass? Eiko, Gabor, or Kolecho? It seems that Vass is quite flexible in the customization.

    Differently styled shoes on the same last

    to echo the most recent posts - of course they should, sometimes they don't. sometimes even 2 pairs of the exact same shoe in the same store don't fit exactly the same That kinda worries me. I've been thinking of ordering a pair of Vass online, one with a norwegian front and a reverse welt...

    Differently styled shoes on the same last

    Do they fit the same? For example, Alden's Barrie last shoes. Does the longwing fit the same as the saddle oxford or the Brooks blucher? Does the reverse welt make a difference as far as fit is concerned? Thanks

    Gentleman's Umbrella

    If I recall, there was an article of some sorts quoting the last umbrella repairer, Gilbert Center, in the U.S. about current English umbrella quality. He said that the guts come from China, or something equally unattractive. Does anyone know since when this has been occurring? I purchased my...

    Comics: Or, The "Entertainment and Culture" Descent Into Geekdom Continues

    I recently finished the Lone Wolf & Cub rerelease by Dark Horse and am currently going through Samurai Executioner, which was done by the same creative team. Would like to go through the Akira volumes. As for other stuff, I like most of the Tintin albums, much of the early stuff by Richard...
