Also part of the Vass charm, I have two pairs in antique cognac that are very different colourwise...Yeah those look straight up brown to me.
UNIFORM LA CHILLICOTHE WORK JACKET Drop, going on right now.
Uniform LA's Chillicothe Work Jacket is an elevated take on the classic Detroit Work Jacket. Made of ultra-premium 14-ounce Japanese canvas, it has been meticulously washed and hand distressed to replicate vintage workwear that’s been worn for years, and available in three colors.
This just dropped today. If you missed out on the preorder, there are some sizes left, but they won't be around for long. Check out the remaining stock here
Good luck!.

And looks great too. How do you find the fit of the FB last compared to F?Surprisingly handsome model in person. I don't know if it's the FB last or this particular pair, but it feels extra supportive. Even the waist was a bit curved (fiddleback) unlike the typical flat outsole

FB is supposed to be a bit wider but I can't say I've noticed much of a difference. It pretty feels like an F last. When I wear them in some more, I'll come back with more feedbackAnd looks great too. How do you find the fit of the FB last compared to F?
I found the F last to be pretty generous in thr Ball of thr foot. Whereas the U last was very snug there
Actually, Vass F Last is true to size.... almost. I am UK 9.5 and on Vass F last 43.5 loafers, it is a very snug fit. Don't think you can size down.
Every other one, really. Too many to remember but off the top of my head:
Meermin’s Ben and Elton.
Carmina’s Rain and Forest.
Enzo Bonafè’s 946.
Joe Works’s 0 last.
Cobbler Union’s City last.
Löf & Tung’s S last.
If Carmina Rain is almost too tight in 9UK, I wouldn't go 43EU in Vass F and definitely not in Vass U since both fit tighter than Carmina Rain. I would recommend 43.5EU.I was taking a look at Vass site and $400 euros for handwelted shoes is really good. So I'm tempted haha. But now, size.
From the site, I guess a 43 EU (9 UK) should fit but I'm hesitant.
For reference, I'm a 10.5 US - 9.5 UK:
Carmina Rain: 9.5UK
Carmina Inca: 9.5UK (best fitting Carmina last for me due to the low instep)
Carmina Uetam: 9.5UK (fits very nice due to the low instep)
Loake Capital: 9.5UK
Meermin Hiro: 9.5UK (I have the chukkas in 10UK, they are very very big for me)
John Lobb 9795 (Willima II): 9UK (I tried the 9.5UK and it was quite long and with too much volume, couldn't tried the 9UK wasn't available but the 8.5UK was very tight).
I do have the length (277 and 278 mm) and width (101 and 100 mm) of the 9.5UK in most brands but I have a very low foot volume (245mm girth). For example in Carmina Rain, going 9UK is extremely tight against my pinky toe but I get less volume but it's not a comfortable fit.
So, for the F last, which size should I go? And for the U last?
Vass sizing is so tough to figure out without trying them on. I guess I’m the wrong person to ask since Vass (F last) is not an ideal fit for me regardless of size. I’m a true 7 UK in all my shoes including Carmina Rain. I first tried a 41 and it was too big then I tried 40.5, it’s much better but still doesn’t really work.I was taking a look at Vass site and $400 euros for handwelted shoes is really good.

Thanks guys! I think 43.5 would be a better fit. And I think in both lasts F and U due to my low instep. Now I just have to figure out customs stuff and that to get them hehe.@Betelgeuse I'd say 43.5 for you for both. I'm a comfortable 9.5UK in Rain and for me U is tolerable though very snug in 43.5 and F is a little more room but not much. Sounds like I have a higher instep and slightly wider forefoot than you but I'd be hesitant to size down to 43.
Nice! Gracias señor Six!43.5 is probably the right size, but as noted, it's difficult to know with F and U without trying them on. I take 9.5 in Rain and 43.5 in F and U. (More precisely, I take 43 for my left foot and 43.5 for my right and sometimes still need a tongue pad in the left shoe.)
