I hate how you tie those, sorry.

I doubt they will do multiple width without MTO. Given how quickly their stock goes out, I imagine they're very very very cautious with inventory, so hard to imagine they add inventories in width any time soon.

No need to apologize. I hate straight bar unless wearing with a tux.

New kid on the block - TLB Mallorca Charles adelaide oxfords. I see a considerable improvement compared to Yanko when it comes to the leatehr quality and craftmanship.

Alfred Sargent Armfield, my favorite black cap toe.

What a coincidence. I was bored yesterday and randomly entered this thread, immediately skipping to the (then) final page. While the page was loading and the images were still not ready, I was wondering whether this thread was to contain any pictures of the Alfred Sargent Armfield. Seconds later, the first thing I saw was this picture. It is stunningly beautiful.

You shouldn't be wearing a cap-toe with a tux....

I don't. But when I see someone else wearing them with a tux I appreciate the bar lacing. Otherwise I truly like cross lacing better. Call me strange

I’d double tap if possible.

Just in case my tux (dress suit) footwear options are called into question.

Does the consul come in different lasts?
Also it seems they are made in G width. If I understand correctly that translates to a wide. Is it possible to get it in E?

Not that I am aware of (responding to lasts). They come in an F, which is Church’s E.

Thanks. Didn't realize F is Church's E. Why would they do that?

Consul comes in 2 width, F is standard, G is wide.

There are more English shoe makers that use F to represent their standard width than E.
