It's called "Tobacco Chamois". They'd be great with tweed! Maybe even a whole donegal suit.

let's see how it turns out. the ritter sport analogy is not bad, btw.

after my chat with mr. petkov today, i'm not sure I want to talk about shoes anymore. if I understood him correctly. shomaking is a simple task, which requires a lot of skill. strange, but true. he's a protagonist of the "holzgenagelt" method and it makes a lot of sense.

you should try to see him in Vienna, but I'm afraid he is on holiday on your actual vistiting date.

Parker - good stuff there! What size/width/last did you get for the Dover? I'm always tempted by that shoe.

EG Dover and Alden Chukka


Lovely shoes Parker ... Love 'em both. I have the alden chukka in sand suede (with crepe soles). They get a lot of wear. I'll get the darker color this fall. Are your chukkas unlined with flex-welt sole?

Duly noted and the cabal thanks you for bringing this to your attention.

Parker, we hereby issue a cease-and-desist on the granny knot. You will be watched for future refractions.

C&J for RL - Marlow in dark brown cordovan

For me, it is the perfect shoe for 90% of all occasions.


Great photo and freaking awesome shoes. I recently got myself a pair and LOVE them.

Well, that's obvious by the big "˜42'.

The lasts started off as a commercial last in size 42 (8 ½ English).

It's fair to presume, the lasts have been altered to conform to the customer's measurements.
