I definitely remember the Nevis from last year
No you're right, I think Nevis has been offered on sale the last couple of years. They were discounted only 20-30% though. At ~50% off I would've grabbed a pair had my size been available.

ralph-lauren-purple-label-Pink-Rlx-Hadley-Twill-Suit-Jacket.jpeg


I picked up this suit to wear to some summer events, but I am struggling to find the right color of shoes. I have Oak Chelseas, mink suede luccombes and some darker brown pebbled longmoore wingtips, but all of them seem too dark, too much contrast since the suit is so light. Also considered some navy suede chelseas but it looked a little goofy, and again, too dark.

I'm colorblind, so it's a little hard for me to get the exact nuances of how the colors interact, so I am stuck between mushroom, mole, snuff and tobacco.

In the sale, they have a pair of chelseas and a pair of canterburys both in snuff, but the chelseas look much lighter. Which of the 2 is closer to the true color? Is it too yellowy to pair with the suit? (And by extension, tobacco would be even worse?)

Well, that was fortuitous.

The exact pair that I thought would be best (luccombes in mushroom in my size) was also on sale, but it didn't show up on the sale page. Might be worth checking out the main page to see if this has happened to other pairs

Viberg 2030 last and 1035 last both fit me pretty well in size 9.5. My right foot is right at 11D on brannock while my left is a bit smaller. Usually the main thing I have to watch out for is right forefoot tightness.

Do we think a 9.5/10E Galway on 82 Last will be the right fit?

No, i think it'll be too small. That's the size I wear and I'm a 9 on 2030/1035, but a 10D brannock. The 82 will be elongated a bit but is not particularly wide in the forefoot like 2030 and even more so 1035. You could maybe get away with 10/10.5 in F width, but I think I'd start 10.5/11E and see how that feels
