We need pics of this, I've been thinking of doing something similar next MTO round but would like to see how they look first.
I'm sure he'll post them when they arrive. I don't remember what deliver time was quoted but I think it was end of summer.

Just picked these up in antelope suede. The only size available was size 11, which is 1 down from my Brannock size.

Not the best fit, at least 1/2 size too large. However, I really like them so I've ordered an insert and a heel pad to see if I can make them work.

The calf suede they use is full grain suede so I think technically it is a rough out. They mostly use CF stead, the bison suede is apparently the top of the line Cf stead suede according to them when I asked. It'll have a softer more luxurious feel. The Italian suedes are full grain also but I can't give you much info on the nap differences. In terms of durability as it's more or less rough out with a shorter nap it shouldn't be an issue.

Thanks, that’s helpful. Just picked up the bison suede slippers from The Great Divide. Was waiting for Viberg to offer another snuff suede slipper but not into the storm welt they used for the recent .com makeup.

I’d love these in a plain toe service boot.
