Hmmm, that blue Wedgwood with a tweed upper could be a nice StC stand-in....

Sweet baby J!
Is that green grain available for MTO? That blue calf is looking killer, as well.
If I wasn't earning in rand.......

yup, it is. I have enough to make about 3 more pairs

At some point, will you be offering last customization? I'm looking for a lower instep.

Sorry my friend but unfortunately not. That is too logistically complicated for me and the factory I use. I would have to travel there on a monthly (or more) basis to stay on top of things to do that.

My take on the Jodhpur Boot. Coming RTW this A/W, available for MTO now.

Whoa! Very Streetwear.. I like it, and it shows the range of your creativity!


May I suggest Black Scotch Grain?

 

[The Shoe Snob]

Thanks for the kind words.

Historically Black grain has not sold well for us so therefore I would not want to try it unfortunately. But MTO is always on the table.

For those of you who like beechwood shoe trees we just put ours on sale as we are flushing them out to make room for our new ones.

I can appreciate that. What leathers are you considering? Do you find the buckles causing a "catching" issue with narrow hem trousers?
And thank you for putting it on Dainite or similar, or at least I'm hoping.

to be honest, I have not truly thought about it. I might do burgundy as shown and maybe a dark brown. Black doesn't really sell well for me outside of my very very classic dress shoes. Every time i do something slightly different in black (weather it in calf/grain/suede) it doesn't perform as much as I had hoped for which has kind of left a bad taste in my mouth. I think people come to my brand for the different things and if they want black they buy some English brand or Carmina or something.

As per the buckles well I have yet to make myself a pair but I will do soon so can answer that better after I have worn them.

Some samples/models you may or may not have seen:

Some real winners there. The black bal boot and single monk, in particular.

Thanks Roger, I appreciate it!

The monks actually have two straps though
