It is some sort of textured calf leather which looks really nice on that shoe style. I think Tony called the leather English grain or something like that. Apparently he made a pair for himself and it came out so well that he included the shoe style in his samples. I don't remember if it was MTO or bespoke but I'm inclined to think that it was a MTO sample.

Potential New models: St. Thomas: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Wbd-uMYmb_...own+slipon.JPG Regency: http://blog.leffot.com/wp-content/up.../dsc_00044.jpg The high cut black monk strap all the way to the left. It was previously a bespoke sample, and was made in a brown suede version for Ralph Lauren (RL used a different name). Am unsure when it will be available through their MTO program...just depends if individuals are interested I can only hope if they do more special patterns for private label work (such as was done for RL)...the non-exclusive patterns can trickle down to the unwashed masses
