I have several pairs of both the Chapel and Vale. I was hoping I could get some input on which leathers to use for a special order for each (i.e. the Chapel and Vale). Right now, I have the Chapel in Black Museum and Dark Brown Museum, and the Vale in Black Museum, Dark Brown Museum, and Chestnut Museum.

Obviously, Black and Dark Brown are out. For the Chapel, I was thinking Chestnut or Plum Museum, and for the Vale, Parisian Brown or Deep Blue Museum.

Any thoughts?

Maybe it's time to move onto something else

The plum museum calf looked quite dark, which is why it looked more brown to me than "plum" or wine-colored. Unfortunately, I don't remember which model they had at Wilkes-Bashford (I was there quite close to closing time and hustled out).

Thanks, I was thinking the boot was Plum. Any idea on the third shoe? Chestnut? or Red Museum?
