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

[dalevy]

It's really looking more and more like I ordered my Rosewood CC Galways just in time. I ordered last Thursday for $927 after the 10% discount at Westley Richards. The next day they would have been $1050 with the discount. And with the price increases going on everywhere I have to imagine that they'll soon be even more than that once they replenish their stock. Whew.

BTW got them and they're real beauts. Though I'm gonna be an iconoclast and do a normal lacing instead of the usual bar lacing on them. #firstworldanarchists

I think normal lacing looks better. Bar lacing looks better on closed laced oxfords where you can't see the laces criss crossing underneath.

The hype in this instance is well deserved. When you handle the material it becomes clear that it is vast different than CC or any stamped grain leather

The thickness of the leather is much more robust.

Store them in the box, and take them out occasionally to polish and take pictures ?

This is one of the biggest mysteries to me to be honest. Lots of hype for this leather (i am joining the hype myself), and I have never seen anyone showing them after their delivery.

Prob except for one chap taking them out for gardening.

My best guess is, It seems something nice and rare to have but not practical to wear.

Your best guess could not be more wrong

@RogerP you have an amazing collection, but I don't recall you posting your Zug Galway. Do you not like wearing them?

Reminder that EGs are 30% off at Brooks Brothers today with corporate discount. Sale prices are reasonable given that the shoes come with EG trees.

Is there an online code for that?

what last is EG BB on?

BB has various EG models on various lasts. The EG for BB Dover is on the 888, which is fairly rare.

Love wearing them. But it hasn't been boot season for a while. They are absolutely my go-to boot for the sloppy stuff.

This is after several wearings - they only LOOK brand new. Zug is damned near indestructible.

Thanks all
I just want to see these beauties more often - that's all

Amazing boots

You can see in the description I think. There is more than one last.

In actually these are probably one of the most practical boots to wear given the thick waxy nature of this leather. Your best guess was wrong, but so was your approach in my opinion. Now had you said underutilized by some you might be right for I at least could be wearing them in much rougher circumstances. But neither do I tend to hike, nor do I tend to go wading in water,. I also don't go out and play in the snow in them. But see I no longer play in the snow, so I'm not changing my lifestyle just because these boots would be capable of taking that kind of punishment.

I haven't compared prices lately, but aren't prices with exceptions to sales pretty much the same everywhere now due to EGs new policies?

Some one posted about Brook Brother sale they had EG for 30% off I am not really familiar with there pricing that well. It seems all Shannon's are sold out on my size or pick up the galaway with shoe tree. So wondering if this is a good price. For some reason BB is priced higher than leffot.

Yeah but with the 30% they should be a good deal, especially since they come with shoe trees. You need to apply for the corporate discount to get this however. Check the Brooks Bros thread for how to.

I was looking at those Galways at BB. If you're able to get the 30% off, you would be getting a pretty good deal. Just about what I paid for mine from Skoak b4 the price increase (or rather price mandate for US customers).
