they have three or four if not more chiseled lasts, which are slightly different. that's what mr. car told us on monday in the new showroom. all off their 14 or 15 lasts were on display. from variations of classic, slightly squared to chiseled on a 30:30:30 ratio.

Congratulation on your first pair of Saint Crispins, some how I don't think they'll be your last pair.

This is exactly what I specified in my order.

Anyhow, I am extremely satisfied with how they came out.

I imagine that would need to be a MTO request from EG.

Or consider the C&J Drummond. I really like mine. I think the lines are a little sleeker than the EG.
