Hi gents
Looking for some assistance from the brains trust. I've been after a pair of the Harvard loafers for the longest time and I've finally decided to pull the trigger. I've decided to go for a burgundy cordovan pair, however these seem to be almost impossible to find. I've managed to locate two sites that have it, Ben Silver and Unipair (links below).
1. The colours look quite different despite being advertised as the same. The ones on the Unipair site look much darker and is what I would prefer, however Unipair does not have my size in stock. Does the C&J burgundy cordovan colour vary that much, or is it just the lighting in the photos? Do they appear brighter or darker in real life? I can't seem to find other photos of the burgundy cordovan online so if anyone could shed some light on this it would be much appreciated.
2. This will be my first foray into mid / higher end shoes (I currently own Meermin, Morjas and Alfred Sargent in UK 7 for all of them). Does the Harvard fit true to size?
Thanks in advance!
