You got yourself very nice pair. May I ask how long exactly it took?

Well it took Tony awhile to kill enough sharks to make it happen. About 8 months all-in-all I believe.

I got a bag from maker in Japan that took over 2 years so this is doable..

I love his expression in the picture: "See? I told you! Hes really buying it!"

An easy question to anybody: how is the fit and shape of the KN14-last?

 

[clee1982]

Compare to what? If MH71 works for you KN 14 would probably work too

 

[Abhishek Jha]

KN14 is quite true to size.
I have taken these shoes 2 months back and they are very comfortable, may be a challenge if you have a very wide foot.

If I'm not mistaken both g&g & eg for Ralph are made on the narrow version of the last.

Weekend here already. Trying some Hermes Red Saphir and Kiwi Military Tan at the toes on both my Isham and St James II. Have to say the Kudu Ishams stand as my all time favorite.

Look like hermis red works very well for rose wood kudu Isham !!

I was also under this impression, but My experience has been different, I have C&J Savile on 337 last and KN 14 last is more comfortable than 337.
Also as KN 14 is for Loafer, they tend to loose from toe area than Lace-ups

Does anybody have any experience with antique gray? I'm considering a Canterbury MTO. The images look good in studio lighting. How does it look in full sun?
