Thanks to all,
What I'm looking for are non-gemmed, hand-made, classic shoes.
I was considering Vass because they are non-gemmed.
My concern about sourcing Vass through SF is the fit of the lasts. I'd rather go to the source and get fitted properly, or even go the MTO route than roll the dice.
I'm going to check out Mr Weiner's shop where Binge picked up his shoes. They look beautiful. Hopefully he has something in my size.
The style of shoe I'm loooking for is a business shoe. I know that Vienna and Budapest have a long history of making work shoes like the budapester, but I don't see myself getting much use out of a workhorse shoe. That was why I didn't consider Operation Paprika.
I will check out Marcel (Koronya). If I could build a collection of Koronya I'd be a happy man
Does anyone know if you can order shoes for delivery to North America from Koronya directly, or do you have to order them through his New York agent?
I believe that Vass does not ship RTW to North America, which is why future purchases from Vass (if I choose to use Vass) would be through SF.
I will definitely go to the Christmas markets.
