To be frank, I am still awaiting another pair of boots from Vass.

New vass. Plum museum austerity on u last. Lovely looking shoes.

 

[RogerP]

^^^ Sweet. Love the Vass austerity brogues.

those came out great, the calf looks fantastic as well. is the blemish you mentioned earlier on the right toe vamp below the punch cap? any plans to fill it in? and how so?

Yeah, not sure if that was how leather was but not really any light spots elsewhere on shoe. Black polish / wax should fill it in over time

@Zapasman
 - holy crap, what a haul!

@stevent
 - the green looks even better to me now - congrats again.

Thanks, shade is really nice

Came today. Vass's shipping is lightning fast - they fit perfectly! Only thing is that the balmoral vamp doesn't cinch totally shut. I like the F-last though, will probably get a derby/blucher boot on it in the future.







One can never have too much shell cordovan

Damn that's awesome! I love that the toes are lighter!

@RogerP I have still in mind a copy of your double monks in Oxblood. Maybe in 2016, LOL!!

@Exdeath. +1 , even for some of my shoes. Nice boot collection, specially your last purchase.

Some in the wild Vass photos. I really want to get a Vass shell U-wing now...

You mean like these? I might debut them this week if it ever stops raining. Not complaining, I live in California and we certainly need it.
Love your tweed(?) pants. How wide are your cuffs. I've been getting 1.75" but still doesn't look wide enough.

@wklq76a

^ Why did you sell your nice boots to this dipshit? I hope you charged him a ridiculously stupid price matching his b&s listings

 

[Jazzmenco]

Hey Namor

you too

Thanks, they are epaulet latte donegal tweed. Highly recommend, easily my favorite.

Thanks, specs below:

Pic 1 - Whiskey Shell Wingtip Boot P2 Last Double Leather Sole
Pic 2 - Antique Cognac Shell Budapester F Last 360 Goyser Double Leather Sole
Pic 3 - Oxblood Shell Long Wingtip Blucher F Last 360 Goyser Double Leather Sole
Pic 4 - Gold Museum Calf Austerity Brogue U Last Single Leather Sole

I'm starting to think the conversion of

F Last = US Size + 33
U Last = US Size + 33
P2 Last = US Size + 33

is wrong. I've seen some posts where people are saying F Last should be US Size + 32.5 which I may have to try myself.
