If Simpson isn't a narrow fitting last, then which Carmina lasts fit narrower than Simpson?

Any opinion (or details pics) of their dark brown suede versus the snuff and other colours or versus suede quality from other mid- and high-end makers?

On pictures the dark brown looks really unimpressive compared to the snuff, I wonder if it's just the colour or (sometimes) also the quality: I am really not prepared to spend € 300+ on suede that will just turn out to be meh. I'm looking for suede distinctively better than Meermin Classic Line. I've seen Carmina's snuff in person and it was beautiful but I need a darker coloured shoe.

Hi where can I check for a carmina GMTO ?
anybody interested in a pair of oxfords or loafers in burgundy cordovan on simpson ?
Its not offered on RTW as of now..

I'd be interested in oxfords.

None. Though both the Simpson and the Alcudia lasts are snug, they are not designed to be "narrow" in that sense.

Okay - I think we might just be using different terms to describe the same thing. You don't describe the Simpson last as narrow fitting, per se, but agree that from a company that makes something in the order of two dozen lasts, none fit narrower than Simpson.

I'd be interested in oxfords.

Thats two. I believe we need atleast 6 to qualify for a GMTO. I still need to check for the attributes that can be changed.
Anybody else interested in a pair of burgundy cordovan oxfords (Simpson) ?
