Corthay Rascaille v. Weston #414

[speedster.8]

Are they two tone? Or just blue ...
Interesting choice, has a nice shape.

I was actually considering a C&J Kempton or maybe a Portman.
Not that they compare, but there are minor similareties in the tongue ...
Would love to see more pictures when you have them

It is a bleu marine patina so the color isn't uniform, nor two-tone.

I can't imagine why, Corthay is 1 block from Charvet and he has elephant skin (don't know about green lizard).

What I like most about Corthay RTW is that it is a bit edgy, but IMO as well made as Lobb or Green.

Elephant skin is best taken in small doses.

You must be confusing me with LK. Or lascar.

The make isn't in question -- AFAIK it's great quality... I just find their RTW styles overdesigned. It gets them attention from people who have decided to move past Berluti. The Corthay shoes made for Arnys are gorgeous, however. The last is a bit less OTT. Arnys wants "the skin of the buttocks", as they say in French, for them.

Fixed.

The cravates d'atelier are relatively reasonable for unlined seven-folds with hand-rolled edges. Works better in concept than practice though.

So when are you getting the leather Forestiere and leather bespoke shirts?

The blue patina is great. Do they make them in a greenish tint as well?

 

[Kuro]

Yes, Corthay has green.
