thanks, that is great colour, very subtle

Yes, blue can be tricky to get right but TLB have got it perfect with this one.

I got them with a rubber sole (perfect for the English weather) and the toe is very stylish which makes them stand out. View attachment 1291984

Gorgeous boot. Unfortunately for me, TLB makes their Chukka too tall.

Has anyone gotten an H width? If so how was the fit?

...wait so you don't wanna pay for Karl's expensive lifestyle???

In all fairness I've ordered shoes directly from Vass, using a several makeups I've seen from Ascot as inspiration.

Ascot shoes charge a unreasonably high mark up ..

Does anyone have experience with the Howard Last? I would like to order a pair of customized Orson boots and i feel like Howard is the one i should go for. Any comparisons in sizing that you guys might share? I don't find any info about lasts and sizing on the website.

And I have it on good authority that they didn’t let afinepairofshoes carry TLB in England. They had a major problem with TLB when it was announced that afinepairofshoes will sell TLB .. Ascot forced TLB to drop afinepairofshoes as a reseller

I have a hard time believing Ascot shoes would have the power to tell TLB anything.

Why would TLB allow that to happen? Is Ascot really a huge middleman for TLB?


There was an Ascot trunk show in Singapore a few months ago and a pair of Vass MTO was 900 pounds. I couldn't believe it was so expensive because everyone were always talking about the value of Vass handwelted shoes being comparative to C&J and Carmina. I then visited the Vass website and found out that they offer RTW shoes for around 450 - 500 euros excl VAT. What a staggering price.

Same here, I think afpos is always a much bigger player.
