Cleaned these up today after a lot of recent travel abuse.

Very nice Shouldaville. You rarely see brown nowadays. Just museum calf, shell, and antique cognac.

Anyone know when Vass factory will be open again?

Thanks Ironist. Not sure about actual production, but Rezso's email says he is back in tomorrow 8/11.

Has anyone ordered from Vads lately and is able to provide an updated price list of everything (MTO charge, museum vs ordinary etc)? Also if someone knows I'd appreciate if you could clarify what classifies as "MTO" (changing the V-cap to straight cap on some models and keeping everything else as is = MTO, changing color/last but keeping everything else constant = MTO?).

Also, what's up with the Vass overload going on atm at B&S?

everything is MTO except for the things they have actively "in stock" at the store.

this was not my experience. I was quoted RTW prices for changing colors/lasts and MTO price for modifying an existing model. if this has changed since March, then I stand corrected.

Everything is MTO in the sense that it's made to order (6-8 week wait) but I think you're right in saying that only design or last modifications attract an upcharge.

Do you order by simply contacting the info@vass email address on the website?  I need to get into the Vass game before they go all G&G and increase prices by staggering amounts a couple of years in a row...


yes contact them direct, reszo will look after you

Thanks for the clarifications, gentlemen. Any idea what the MTO upcharge is?

I don't know if the plan on doing this, but I need to fill some gaps in my shoe wardrobe. Planning on adding 1 Oxblood, 1 Bordeaux, 2 brown museum calf.

Thanks, Wurger!

My first order will be a straight-up OE in oxblood on the U last. My rotation currently suffers from a lack of plain captoes (plenty of semi-brogues and monks instead) and I recently filled the black captoe slot with a G&G order. Since Vass is one of the only makers out there that offers oxblood seems a logical choice.

Va fasen Don, läser du inte Shoegazing överhuvudtaget? Tycker ofta du ställer frågor, både här och på FB, där svaren finns på bloggen (ex nu i Vass-köpguiden). Skärpning! :D

Du vet väl iaf om att Vass mfl kommer till Stockholm 20 september?

Haha, när jag väl sitter på SF/KSoE sitter jag på jobbet. Din blogg går inte att besöka via jobbdatorn av någon anledning.

Skälet till min fråga är för att jag har tagit del av motsägelsefulla budskap. Vissa menar på att man får göra smärre förändringar utan prispåslag, medan andra påstår annat. När jag beställde mina första par Vasskor för flera år sedan kunde jag göra mindre förändringar utan påslag om jag minns rätt. Då beställde jag via någon på detta forum.

Är väl medveten om att Vass kommer till showen. Jag har redan den inplanerad och kommer närvara då. Vill reda ut så mycket som möjligt innan dess så att jag eventuellt kan lägga en beställning på plats nämligen.

PS: ska bli bättre på att läsa din blogg :D
DS.
