Archibald London: true craftsmanship, no middlemen, Official Vendor Thread

[OrlandoMo]

Not hand welted, but the closest offering I could find was from Carmina

I guess it's a good thing that we don't have any real company then. True italian hand-welted is increasingly rare so I think we might have something really special on our hands here... On another note, as the HW1 are up for pre-orders, we will begin surveys for our HW2 - The Handwelted Jumper Boots (and perhaps even a HW3)

Hyped for the jumper boots! But would be even more hyped for balmoral boots

Cheers

Curious about these pebblegrain loafers. Do they have contrasting stitching or they are not finished yet? On the website the stitching is brown.

You can have any sort of contrasting stitching as a special custon request. Wouldn't be a problem at all but would mean it would be especially made for you.

Hi all,

We are planning on making a new last for our hand-welted shoes. At the moment we have the 001 (Slight Squared Toe, Wider, Slightly Lower Instep, Ball Girth) and the 002 (Rounded Toe, Narrower, Higher Instep, Ball Girth). What do you think we are missing?

Perhaps a more square toed last for chelsea boots? Something in between the pronounced square toe of my RMW Craftsman and the subtle square of Carmina's "Rain" last would be really nice, while preserving some extra width towards the ball of the foot. Cobbler union makes a great looking chelsea boot on their Ritz last, but the lack of space in the ball of the foot makes it look overly "pointy" for lack of a better term, as well as uncomfortable for wider feet.

All good points, let's see what we can come up with

Working on a production of Ties and need to pick up at least 10 of these, what do you guys suggest?

Honestly most of your selections don't really fit within your universalist aesthetic to the rest of the products.

The second one is nice and maybe 413158-3

Not your question but I would wear to the right of 413130-5 as a bowtie

I would agree with this. I think a base collection of high quality and versatile grenadine ties would go much further

YES.

If yall feel the need to have patterns or whathaveyou, maybe a really deep, subtle madder.
