For EG, it's Mercer (shoe form, which I have in navy suede) or an Olney (boot form, which I don't have, but would like). But you probably need to do an MTO, which skoak doesn't do for EG. I tried to find an EB version, but Skoak couldn't find a single monk with the same design. Not sure about the others, those makers weren't on my radar at the time.


Ill look up the Mercer. Thanks for the info!

Carmina makes a model with the straight buckle...not in the same elegant bespoke looking shape, but the same design.


Carmina doesnt work well with my foot so not looking at them, I do know that they have a single monk which looks decent.

This is the old version on the 804 last but it should give you a good idea. I think this EB model with hidden seams blows away the competition.
Thank you Sir! Those are magnificent. I am also looking to see if anybody has picture of 74945 last. It seems like it is a thicker toe box version of 804, which is a preferable shape for me

Probably a dumb question:
With the EB jodhpurs, can the strap be lowered so that it is visible like on the GG tavistock?

oh, yeah looks great. I just meant I thought someone around here purchased the black oxford on that last. I also think it's a great last, I got in on the chukka mto on that last.
Those are mine. I thought I had an outdoor photo wearing, but here is an old indoor one. Harsh lighting adding to the shine. Maybe I'll wear tomorrow for an updated shot. They really don't show much creasing.

How does the quality leather (sans museum) used in EB compare with Carmina or is that too general of a question? Thanks
