Yes, it's a very nice mid brown. Much less red compared to hmlarssons pictures. I'd call it very similar in color to Mahogany Cordovan.
And quite a bit darker too...I guess my Hatch Grain Cordovan is labeled "tan" or similary.

For the trunk show tomorrow. Will there be anything available out in the store outside the normal stuff? I don't wanna walk by and just bother you guys like I always do. Luckily it's going to be 23C last time I checked!

I got an appointment for the trunk show, but I get off work earlier than that and was thinking of maybe looking around. I'm mainly debating about lasts and leather choices right now, and maybe some other models than the one I'm going to pick.

@Leaves

Any chance you have a photo of the guimaraes patina CS Adelaides "in the wild"?

I'd like to see what the shoes look like without studio lightning. No worries if not!

Email us, we may have some open slots during the afternoon (as we are doing a three day Trunk Show it's less hectic). We have a large number of samples in store, and loads of extra swatches.

There is a picture in the wild, the first product picture is always an outdoor picture in natural lightning.

  • Albanel Chelsea Boot
  • H last (E-width, standard)
  • Half Rubber sole
  • Tobacco Suede
  • Antique sole edge (light brown)
  • Full price is 3040 SEK ex VAT for non-EU clients (about $360 US)

@Leaves curious why you didn’t go for polo suede instead.

Is tobacco suede also from Charles F Stead?

Sorry, was this what we discussed? Do people prefer this? I only had a couple of orders (need to confirm if they are willing to change) so far for this make up, I’m sure we can switch it if this is what people want. The Tobacco is from Zonta tannery which is one of the leading Italian tanneries. Very nice!

could you kindly share what size did you get and how's the fit compared to other loafers? what size do you take in other brands? the T-last looks great!

Sorry, but these are my first pair of “proper” loafers, as I always had a hard time finding something that fits me well.
Nevertheless, Here are my experiences though, hope that helps:

Loafers that I tried that didn’t fit:
- Enzo Bonafe, UK 9, 062 Last: A tad too slim around the ball joint, a tad to wide around the heel, which caused slight heel slip. Instep good right out of the box
- Carmina, UK 9F, Uetam Last: Snug but good around the heel and instep, but waay to tight around the ball joint
- Carmina, UK 9.5F, Uetam Last: Good around the ball joint, but too big overall

What I wear in Löf & Tung:
- Loafer, T Last, UK 9: Snug but spot on around the heel. The were a tad tight around the instep and front joint at first, but now after 2 wearings the are spont on! Great fit overall, with the potential to fit like a glove when they are properly broken in!

What I normally wear:
- Saint Crispins Classic Last, UK 9F: had to widen them around the ballpoint, but now they offer a superb fit with good heel support
- Carmina Rain Last, UK 9.5F: Good around the Instep and Heel, a tad roomy around the ball joint
- Carmina Forest Last, UK 9.5: Good fit right out of the box
- Carmina XIM, UK 9: Good fit right out of the box leaning towards the looser side, but maybe that’s just because i have an unlined suede loafer

I would like to say that these are just my personal experiences. When in doubt, do not hesitate to contact @Skoaktiebolaget for sizing advice, they definitely know their stuff!

@Cuebert thats some excellent feedback on sizing. Thank you. It’s particularly on point because I think we wear the same size.
