Edward Green Appreciation: Pictures, Info, and Where to Buy

[no frills]

Felt "a bit blue (and Green)" today, so I took this pic. EG Galway in midnight blue (antique) and navy suede from Leffot. Accompanying timepiece is the Nautilus (with classic blue/green dial) by Patek Philippe.

Sizing question would like to seek advise from you all:

Alden Barrie = US 8D
Allen Edmonds = US 8D
Grenson = UK 7
C&J 337 = UK 7E

What should be the size to choose for EG 202, and what fit/width?

By the way, what is the different between fit/width E & F?

Thanks.

I am Alden Barrie US9D and EG 202 UK9D or UK9E. EG's E width (standard/medium/normal width) is considered by many to be slightly wider than a typical US "D" width.

There was a spanish guy on this forum or another one that did an entire pictorial on his shoes paired with his watches. He got a lot of stick from the readers because they thought all (at least the watches) looked virtually the same.

Do you mean I should take EG 202 in size UK8?

Based on my experience with Alden's Barrie and EG's 202, yes.

DieWorkwear just posted an article about his MTO boots, without speed hooks: http://dieworkwear.com/post/41366748950/these-boots-are-mto-for-walking .

Even though this guy gave me some grief about complaining about Leffuckup a few pages back, I will grant that he writes well and his boots are bloddy marvellous too.

Thank you! I wanted to get the classic Galway colors/combo but when I saw the midnight blue / navy suede combo it proved too interesting for me to ignore.

Interesting. So is the lesson that the watch collection, or at least the watch/shoe combo must show a bit of diversity?

I don't know...it would never occur to me to photograph 20 pairs of shoes with 20 different watches (all mostly the same). I wear the 2 watches with everything...ones a steel chromo and the other a bit dressier and classic. I was just amazed at how much the guy got hassled.

Thank You Sin, that's exactly what I am looking for although I believe I will go with burgundy.

Ah, that is unfortunate. My main purpose in sharing pics here on SF was to let folks know about recent purchases that I ended up getting because of what I've read in various threads; I'm very appreciative of what I learned here and very much enjoy my EGs. Because of the "Watch Appreciation Thread" I also ended up overhauling my (small) watch collection, so I post some pics there too. But yeah, I have four watches in my collection right now and I already feel like I have enough. A very personal thing, to be sure.
