Hey Ilovelobbs. What type of leather and color are those Dovers? It looks suspiciously similar to willow calf that EG was unable to source for ages. My sources at EG said something similar would be available "soon" last year. Please share any details you have. Thanks.

It is indeed the Willow Calf in Dark Oak......I have my "EG" sources....These were made a few years back.

You are a lucky duck! I think Willow Calf is the best color for Dovers, combining the versatility and relative formality of dark brown with a sportiness of surface interest that is more subdued than a pebble grain!

I grew tired of waiting for Willow Calf to come back and ordered a new pair of Dovers in Bauxite Antique:

yours is just as nice....mine doesn't have the usual EG burnishing around the toe cap....like yours.


Once I put these babe on, I'll have no need to make love to the wife for months...
