I recently received a pair of the C&J Harvard loafers in shell cordovan after a 6 month wait from an online retailer. I was so excited with the fit and look of them that only after several wears did I notice that something was off with the toebox seam on the right foot shoe. As you can see on the shoe on the left in the pic below, the seam along the toebox falls further down towards the sole on one side than on the other, which makes it look inconsistent.
It is also visible from up top, although less evidently so, as the seam on the right shoe doesn't follow the shape of the toe box as the left shoe does.
I plan on contacting the retailer but I wanted to hear your thoughts first. I discussed with a friend and she suggested that the handmade nature of the shoe may be responsible, but coming from a maker with such high standards, and not to mention the hefty price tag on the shoes, I do not think that is a valid excuse.
Thanks
