John Lobb or Edward Green?

[Texasmade]

FYI.

I saw the Lobb 2010 at a trunk show and supposedly it's going to be a double monk wholecut shaped similar to JL Jermyn II. Basically it's suppose to be a double monk wholecut not on the 8000 last. I didn't get a chance to see the shoe in person, only pictures so I can't say for sure what last it's coming on.

Oh dear, what happened to Yvonne O'Grady, the 'Royal Perforator' (at 2:02 minutes)?

Oh, that's it! I have been wondering about the perforation of the Claverton.

Basically, all broguing runs the same way: there is a large hole and there are two small holes sitting on top of each other, followed by a large hole etc.

The perforation bits have three holes (large and two small ones) and they rattle along in that "˜Royal Broguing Machine', which is basically a variation of a sewing machine.

The broguing of the Claverton is interesting: as usual, a large hole is followed by two small ones; but the small ones are not on top of each other by lay sideways next to each other.

I had thought, the brouing of the Claverton was done by hand, one punch at a time, as to get this atypical formation. (Hence the price premium.)

So, it's a laser! Now that explains it! And the premium!

Why, do you have to cover the cost of running the Large Hadron Collider or something?

Hey guys - bit of a newbie question, but whats the running UK price of Edward Greens RTW line? All i have pricewise- is the huge marked up North american stuff. If you phone EG directly, could you get them for a decent price (8-900?)? (Canadian dollar is extremely good against the pound)

 

[archetypal_yuppie]

Gotta say I'm a big fan of the laser method then - no offense to those in the manual hole-punching profession. The result is what matters, and it is good.

I assume this is the direction EG will be heading in the future.

It might be an interesting vintage model for once...

The Jermyn II is such an iconic shoe ...
