It'll be easy as I don't have the cash

Mr. Glasgow mentioned the Anthony Cleverley Semi-bespoke line was all done in house while the other semi-bespoke shoes were a mix (in house and outsourced)

He preferred to add more "bespoke" features and hand work to the A.C. line...which in turn justifies the current asking price of about 900-1000 pounds.

It would be interesting to see if Cleverley uses the same quality calf leather for the A.C. semi-bespoke lines as in their bespoke shoes.

I concur with the comments of others that based on observations alone, the A.C. semi-bespoke line is made to a higher quality than their previous semi-bespoke offerings

Their are numerous Anthony Cleverley designed shoes which have not be released to their semi-bespoke line. I might ask Mr. Glasgow if he'll try a design or two as a prototype.

That is interesting. What type of designs are you thinking of? What do you have on order from Cleverley at present?

I found this old Anthony Cleverley designs in one of centipede's galleries. I would love it if enough of us demanded this model that George Glasgow would put it in production for the line.

Just reply to this thread if you're interested.

I will consider 2 more Cleverley designs in the near future...all semi-bespoke

One is the classic rolled apron side gussetted shoe with that classic chiseled toe...Flussers book has a picture of it in the Cleverley entry...naturally I'm considering adding imitation lacing

The other is an A.C. design, it was his take on the classic full wing tip brogue with side gussetted, imitation brogued, and imitation lacing. Centipede had an entry of A.C. designs but it alludes me. Mr. Glasgow did not provide a final answer as I put further orders on hold until I wear my first order for a few months to ensure their product fit well.

They have access to a gorgeous ultra dark brown calf leather that I call Black Coffee...I'll likely use this one the first one and black calf on the 2nd

Alas, no faux-laces, but it is a side-lace:

 

[jon5986]

That is defiantly a shoe I would be interested in! Is that from Cleverley's old book of shoes made by Anthony?

Correct, courtesy of centipede. Start the bandwagon!

 

[windrunner]

I'd definitely be in for that in RTW

is this from the ladies collection?

 

[medwards]

More likely from the Maftei men's catalogue
