Those boots with be electrifying! They must be made on whiskey shell?

I asked for saddle shell, which is similar to whiskey - a bit less yellow and more orange. Cant wait!

+1. Curious as to how many of us here own the book.

How many have a book with an autograph of the author?:foo:/Bi-WInniNg, tiger-blood.

Anyone who owns a pair should get a copy.

Actually anyone who loves shoes should get it. A nice easy read..

That book combined with MarcelHun (sp?) youtube videos are perfect primers for seeding the desire to own hand welted shoes.

Sounds very dangerous for the wallet.

Unfortunately they didn't have what I wanted in stock.
I am still debating whether to special order or not.

At least you received a response

Indeed - but Vass shoes are not more expensive than many shoes of lesser construction quality.

I'll admit to being fascinated with minutia. I find myself picking this book up over and over again. I especially appreciate how thoroughly it covers all aspects of the process from leather production/tanning to finishing.

About the only thing not covered is what to feed the cows.

which pair? the wingtip you posted is incredible. its no surprise its a window display model. wow!

As I already have several pairs of gator/croc shoes (not Vass) I wanted the wingtip in burgundy shell or calf. But they had very few burgundy shoes in stock.

At least you received a response

Perhaps my experience is atypical, but prior to my trip, I emailed them and received prompt and friendly response.

Thank you, antique cognac is my favorite Vass color, I do own a pair of F derbies in oxblood and also like the color

That is not a style-forum approved shoe

Fritzl help me out here, but I think the general though is that all Vass shoes should have double sole, goyser stiching preferably in the off-yellow coloring. Also F U K lasts are not allowed on this site

What is happening?
