Trying to compare the dark brown museum calf to some of the other leathers. Would you say there is a difference in shade (darker or lighter) between the dark brown museum and the Ebano (dark brown) lama?


Thanks!

For our last round of Darth Vader MTO, is betis or vitello being used? I want a thicker & stronger calf.


Usually we use Vitello for all our shoes, Betis has to be specified be the client specifically.

We only have the Cola in the shop, so it's kind of hard to gauge. Cola would probably be closer though. Ebano is really dark.

Thanks Patrick, I'm actually thinking of doing a dual tone so darker (in my head) seems better

Skoak,

Is shell cordovan included in this new EB MTO program?

How much is the upcharge for that?

Thanks


Yes, it is. There is a price list published in this thread and includes the up charge to cordovan. As well as a post from Patrik about available colors. It should all be within the last 10 pages or so or findable via search

It must be a combination of my A.D.D. and general idiocy.......

Laufer,

You say the 74945 last gives you problems - I'm curious, what size do you take in Carmina Rain and Forest if you have shoes in either of those lasts?

Thanks!
Laufer, just bumping this one in case you missed it.

I took the same size in Rain, Forest and 74945
Rain is one of my best fitting lasts out there.
Forest did not work for me but the boots were made out of CXL leather which is very stretchy leather so think that might be a reason why. I have not tried Forest in any other leather.
74945 was just too tight in toes area for me so I am thinking about going a wide width on 74945 if available.

@stevent,

Indeed I wish there was a real life picture of green llama or at least a better picture of that swatch. What size did you take in those llama chukka?
I am awaiting a confirmation from Skoak as to availability of Bonafe lasts in wide width. I do have problems fitting in 946 and 74945 but I think I would benefit from a wider width instead of going up a half size. I am willing to take a chance at least.

I almost forgot about that green delapre makeup. I think that will be one of the winning combinations of all time.



I took 9, a bit narrow for me. 9.5 would work I think. Or maybe a 9 wide if they have it. 74945 looks a bit nicer though so if there is a wide width there might go for that instead

I handled both 74945 and 363, 74945 is definitely nicer last.

Hi all,

I'm looking to get my first pair of EGs, but need some help on getting the right fit. I'd like to get the Chelsea, in either the 202 or 82 last. How do the lasts compare?

I currently wear the following:

Carmina Forest - 10 UK
Carmina Rain - 10 UK
AE 65 last - 11 D US

Given my sizing, what size should I consider in the EG 82 and 202?

Thanks.
