I'm not familiar with the E&G Gresham.


+1 on the jeans cuffs and the Wigmore (on my to do list). Here's my Greshams on the 888; yup, I know there's no love for black, but I have another pair inbound in burnt pine on the 89.

Nick from Bespoke England had sent me a pair of shoes in the Bordeaux calf to try for size. There was much less red in the color than I expected.

Thanks so much for your kindly suggestion.
I am a little confused about the color below.
Vintage Rioja, Bordeaux calf, Dark burgundy calf.
What's the difference between them?
I have asked Tony Gaziano, and he said that the Dark burgundy calf is the closest to purple.

Here's the vintage rioja, which depending on lighting shows up as dark reddish brown, burgundy, or with the burnishing around the toecap, aubergine. Note: Nick at Bespoke England mentioned that this batch came out darker than usual, so YMMV.

Dear medtech_expat,

Thanks for your sharing.
Do you mean that the Vintage Rioja calf, Bordeaux calf, Dark burgundy calf are all the same?
Since at the bespoke of England, I can see Vintage Rioja calf and Bordeaux calf but no Dark burgundy calf?

And I would like to ask for some suggestions.
I already have JLP woodcote in deep blue, Berluti Fil dAriane Evade Oxford in blue gredients.
And I would like buy 2 G&G recently, one is G&G Hove DG70 in vintage oak.
But I cannot make the decision in G&G Carlyle or Grant, both are DG70?
Any suggestion between them?
I would like to buy a black one, or any suggest deep color, racing green?


photos pls
