Nice pair of OE IIs! An oxblood pair is next on my list, I just can't decide between F and U.

What is the approximated turnaround time for mto?

The current price list can't be posted often enough so here it comes again.

I would use plum in any instance that burgundy is ideal as well.

@j ingevaldsson

Your plum has the regular VASS leather finish correct? I ask because I know Italian Polish is a finishing option, but don't know if it's of any benefit from just polishing the shoes yourself at home...

The single dainite sole is indeed great, such thinner compare to the dainite soles I have seen.

I think the well polished state of the shoes hide a bit of the mottleness.

that's nize

Those came out remarkably well, JI.

I think yours is a little less mottled than my pair. But I don't know what tannery my leather came from.

Thanks everyone!

Jubei: These are standard leather finish yes, I polished them myself. Don't think Italian polish go very well with their museum calf.

Wurger: I think single Dainite-soles are very underrated. I definitely prefer it in most cases, also for boots, since the shoe gets more elegant and more comfortable IMO, but still can be worn pretty much all winter here in the southern parts of Sweden.
I've polished them with neutral cream and polish, except on the toe cap where I also used some black, so haven't changed the color that much overall. But the glare might make it less prominent in some pics.

About five weeks by my recent experience - slightly quicker than ordering Meerming from stock!

Direct from VASS is evidently a bit quicker for MTO. So it makes sense that proxy will take a bit longer.

Man, i am so looking forward to my first pair. I have a feeling it will be a Pandora's box for me... :nodding:
