Black Museum Seamless Whole cut
HAF sole on EG + Norwegian chain stitch

The price is 556euro ex vat (695euro with vat)

Confirmed? or would like to change other colour?

I'm good with black museum and would also be down for a reddish brown color.

1. Can we get an example of the museum? I've never seen it from EB.
2. Can you clarify what EG means?
3. I'm not interested in chain stitching, so I'm out if that's a part of the makeup.

I also wonder how black museum looks like. If it resolves to dark grey I am probably fine with it, hopefully not just appear straight black. Would actually prefer reddish brown as well, but like more red than brown so not sure if it is to everyone's taste.
Can't do Norwegian chain stitch however, so will have to drop out if that's final

Anyone got some pics of Hidro volpe and tobacco suede in the wild?

I refer to the John Lobb Black Museum Calf as reference as below:-

It seems like black with a little grey under the sun light.

HAF sole on EG means HAF sole of Edward Green ones.

We could without norwegian chain stitch, how about less vote:-

Black Museum calf: frighter3
Black Calf: frighter3
Brown Museum Calf: frighter3

Norwegian: frighter3
Withour Norwegain : frighter3

Really like that black museum. I'd like the chain stiching so if that's the final make up that I'll drop out

Have you confirmed EB can access that type of leather? As far as I’m aware, that type of black museum is not frequently provided, with JL being one of the few makers who does. I’ve not seen any vendor who provides EB list a black museum in their offerings.

If EB can source that leather, I’m fine with either black option. No interest in chain stitching.

I’d also propose using a “Cuban,” tapered heel, which I would consider a more elegant option.

I have done several mto's with EB and never heard of the possibility of black museum. There used to be radica deep blue but of course that isn't black. Also wondering about the HAF sole. Basically this is double leather tapering towards single leather at the waist. This is done by Vass and EG but never seen this with EB. EB has the Japanese waist but although it may look similar it is totally different. In this case the waist isn't Goodyear welted but Blake stitched.

Sounds about right regarding the leather. I do believe they'll do a fiddleback (do they call it a donkey, or am I losing my mind?), waist correct?

 

[rdsr]

The black museum looks good, if they can source it, so does their deep blue. I am fine with either. Although might prefer plain navy over museum when it comes to the blue.
I believe they do call their fiddleback a donkey back, and if I recall that is a sole option which is separate from the waist option. So I think you can request a fiddleback with a Japanese waist or a fiddleback with a "standard" waist or their other offerings. I am thinking steer away from the Japanese waist...
However I wonder if a double sole/HAF sole are available with fiddleback.

Also just wondering is this GMTO being done through a retailer, if so which? or is this through EB directly?

This is how I understand it as well. Donkey is a kind of soft, rounded fiddleback. The waist options include a standard waist, a bombe waist (rounded edge) or Japanese waist (Blake stitched).

Well, here's hoping we hear back in the affirmative regarding black museum. That would be an awesome surprise.

Hi all,

I am asking through Skoak, but currently until now they did not response me to response confirming if black museum calf could be contain.

But when i ask for the price quote, they did not mentioned that it can't be source.

So I believe, they might have their source way to obtain it.
