Done!
I didn’t understand the part about internat and external eyelets, did you mean the metal reinforcement?

And about the brougeing. I think a wingtip wholexut is a bit of a contradiction because the wingtip renounces to the simplicity, but I like a lot the Tony of Fitzpatrick which only has the outline of the wingtip punctured in the cap. I find that it is a subtle offset of the plainess making it a bit less too formal giving it more versatility. That’s why I chose toe bougeing think it was the nearest option to the Tony

I believe what was meant by toe brougeing was precisely that, the punched holes.

Remember when we were selling hand-welted dress shoes but had no idea they were hand-welted and launched them as "Goodyear a mano" or hand-made goodyear shoes and then learned from the SF community that there was no such thing and the shoes we were offering were, in fact, hand-welted, this increasingly rare technique and were effectively under-selling the shoes we were offering?

That wasn't so long ago...

results thus far are overwhelmingly consistent. I guess not very surprised.

You could add some extra variants: perhaps for the type of stitching. Single, double or triple row. Invisible stitching, reverse stitching, etc. You could make the cap-toe at an angle ressembling a chevron, like Jan Kielman for instance:

You could color the underside of the outsole a certain color. Santoni does orange, Sutor Mantellassi light blue.

Maybe you could do green, like the color of your shoe box?

I don't recall the number of eyelets being in the survey, but I filled it out quickly.
Stormwelt could be another variant that I don't believe adds much work to the process. Also, half-length or full-length sockliner.
Brass nails, if any on the outsole and/or heel?

We're working on a green sole with our craftsman! Will send pictures once it's ready. Personally love the cap-toe you posted

Number of eyelets was not for the wholecut oxford.

That's great pointers particularly for a hand-welted cap-toe oxford.I think we can get that going pretty easily as well.
