Harlyn Dark Brown Suede MTO incoming from Skoak!

I've long been a fan of EG Dover's but previously bought the Harlyn from Skoak in Parisian Brown and I believe the Harlyn is the better shoe.

Why do you think Harlyn is a better shoe?

I really like the new website. One thing that I just noticed at least on the Google Chrome app for the iPhone is that it reverts back to SEK currency as soon as you click on a product.

@Leaves Will these cordovans that are pictured on the front of the website have a full run in the foreseeable future or are they MTO only? If you will run them at some point, what's the approximate price?

I find the leathers, atleast suedes, to be much more supple and comfortable.

The last looks better and is a balance between the 202 and 606. It’s not as bulbous and not as square as the 606. It looks great in casual and dressed up settings.

The double leathered soul isn’t as heavy as EGs and it is a much more tapered look.

I like the more pronounced EG apron.

Don’t get me wrong, I love both but I find I am going to the JLs more. I have an incoming pair in a misty leather and one in a grain leather and will Provide More feedback after getting those.

Yes but in Dark Cognac. Hopefully in June/July.

I’ll look into that!

Problems with the title of shoes on iPhone - the first few letters get truncated if the title is too long

MTO from spring trunk show
Boring but always in style, city captoe in dark oak calf.
On 8695 last (usually on 7000)

Looks great, I'd put flat laces in them, it'll take the look up just a notch.

@coldinboston those are some great looking shoes. I’ve not yet tried anything from Lobb. Do you have many pairs? How do you like them?

Speaking of Lobb, and this goes for anyone, what do you get when you bump up to a Prestige level shoe? Is it just a beveled waist and shoe trees? Anything else? Phillip II looks sweet but not sure...

Finally got an opportunity to take a couple glamor shots of my Enzo Gatoraides. What a phenomenal makeup. Can't wait to see how the Löf & Tung GMTO comes out as well!

Those soles..... And the 062 last with a Japanese waist is just heaven.

Really glad I decided to get in on that buy.

@Leaves Will the K last and Gumlite sole be available anytime soon? I'd love a pair in polo suede for the summer. Also, can shoes be ordered with a light coloured welt?

 

[dangerous]

Are there going to be any woven/braided leather derbies this summer? How are they actually braiding the leather?

Also, is the L&T launch end of monthly CS/EB/whatever GMTO:s on the website?
