The Ultimate Vass (Footwear) Thread (Pictures, reviews, sizing, etc...)

I got my new boots today, but the packaging seemed a bit strange. Upon opening the package I discovered that I got one box per boot.

For those interested, here's my collection of cordovan wingtip boots. From left to right:
Vass Austerity boot, saddle.
Vass Wingtip boot, bordeaux.
Crockett & Jones Skye 2, dark brown.

The new boots are outstanding and an excellent fit within the collection. Congrats!

Talking about boots, I just had time to upload a small amount of the pictures I took on my Vass visit, some museum calf leather, a special boot, some new models.. It's not that much but I'll upload some more soon!

I opened a new photo stream where I'll be putting all my Vass related pictures: https://www.flickr.com/photos/121622276@N08/

I dig the boots, but more importantly: what are those boot trees? Is it something Vass is cooking up, because if that's the case I've to send them a message to see if I can get a set or two.

I'm sure they would be able to help you with those trees, though I doubt it that they would have them in stock as standard trees. I think they mainly use them for display purposes.

Your boots look great!!

Is the old english plain in Plum Museum calf? It looks amazing...

Those chukkas are great, is that dark brown & medium brown suede? Chukka will be my next order from you Notch, once i see how my first pair fits me...

 

[Notch]

It is plum museum calf indeed, although my camera might have exagerated a bit with the contrast, the color is incredible!

The chukka boots are indeed medium and dark brown suede, they are pictures for a member who asked for comparison pics between the U and F last.

 

[JezeC]

Can somebody post dark brown and oxblood side by side for comparison?

I'm guessing both colors are formal enough?

Question for @Notch (or anyone else who has recently seen Vass' gold museum calf) -- there was some talk up-thread regarding Ilcea getting back in the game and I am familiar with their museum calf. I am considering ordering a pair of Vass gold museum calf double monks and I like the quite mottled museum calf that I have seen from John Lobb when they used Ilcea. Some of the recent pics of Vass museum calf seems more subdued and less mottled than I would like. I was wondering if that is a batch issue or Vass' preference or simply how the new supplier produces its museum calf. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
