Since I was mentioned in the email you all got - I've decided to post my thoughts that I wrote up and include some photos to try and explain some background. Please excuse any typos or anything as I tried to write this up quickly when I saw the email go out.

Archibald London Hand Welted Shoes - preorder issues, discussion,and resolution.

Last week I received my pair of shoes from the Archibald of London sale they offered via google docs on their threads here on SF over the past week or so – The pair I got was the Anticato Volonata color. I purchased these at the sale price that was available to SF via the Google Doc with the...

Hi everybody. Have anybody already received his Cafe Racer Jacket? I would like to see lots of photos!!!
I like this jacket very much, but my size isn't avaiable (XS seems too big for me, I probably need something a bit smaller than a hypothetical XXS), so I should go to a custom product, and without the possibility to return it if it doesn't fit, I don't know if take the risk...

I'd love to see that as well. Might treat myself to one, I just need to find an excuse to buy another leather jacket...

Is the ultralight in white a pure white? It looks more like a cream color on the website.

I’m not sure about the new release, but the trial pair I purchased are pure white.

Do you have the ultralight? I know as hot as it is here that having lightweight shoes would not be unwelcome.

Also, my clearly unprofessional, wear test only impressions of them.

thanks for the detailed review, really helpful! We decided to go ahead and produce 6 different combos of leather-sole. What do you guys think would work best? For now we were planning on making 2 veg-tan calfskin, 2 chromexcel, 2 anticato, 1 deerskin pebble N8 cxl with gum sole, black with...

When I first saw a reference to that bolded quote I thought it was a joke, really. Didn't realize he actually said that.

... although the bolded quote does sound a bit mystic and on the commercial side, I have to say I do have a very similar experience to the described one with my SF-01 in anticato. They look like crap when I take them out, like, very creased. But you can see the creases are not that bad like in set in and cracking and, as soon as I put shoe trees in or my feet, they look great again.

And this has been it since basically day 1. I admit to not having worn them for a long time (winter + less movement because of covid + rotation and so) and last time was probably in October, but I can't complain about the leather quality in this case. I am no expert, really, but they do hold up quite nicely. That's pretty much it. I can imagine that this leather would work well in dress shoes if the right stiffeners are used.

ugh...now the trolls are showing up in this thread too.
