Hello,
I have been looking at the Loake Dorchester, where the facing is part of the vamp ( note how there is no stitching in front of the laces, it's one piece) http://www.loake.co.uk/loake-1880/oxford/dorchester.html this is as opposed to an Oxford that has the facing as a separate piece http://www.church-footwear.com/en/UK/new-flex-sole#!/en/UK/man/classic-collection/consul/calf-black (note how there is a line of stitching between the vamp and the facing, below the laces).
I have not seen any other shoe besides the Dorchester cut like this. I like the idea because it is reducing the number of pieces of leather, and streamlining the shoe, making it look slightly even more formal.
Has anyone seen this on other shoes, how would you describe it... and what are your thoughts on it?
Thank you!
