My new bespoke suede monks.

[macaroni]

I've just picked my second pair form mr Jan Wilądek, a cordwainer in Warsaw, Poland. He is not as famous as Kielman or Januszkiewicz, but I think he is doing an equally good job.

The shoes are goodyear welted, but a local custom is to reinforce the waist with a row of pegs.
What do you think?

Wonderful colour!

 

[fritzl]

are you sure about gyw?

iirc, from another report, Mr. Wladek handwelts the shoes.

looking good.

Lovely monks. I do enjoy the look of them.

Well done.

didnt you get monks made up from there last time?

 

[Henry Carter]

Agreed, very nice. I just had to send back a pair of Grenson Rose monks very similar because they didn't fit. Now I wish they did.

Damage means $$$, but you might not want to share, which is understandable.

Lovely pair of monks! Fantastic color and great balance. I like how the heel is angled slightly inward. A nice twist. Wear them well!
