YEOSSAL - OFFICIAL AFFILIATE THREAD

Sounds good, and sounds like we have a similar daily wardrobe. You might want to ask them about how warm it will wear if you are looking particularly for warmth (I don't know what a Canadian winter is like, being in Australia!). Keep in mind that the safaris are very much unstructured, so I wouldn't expect it to act like a heavy winter overcoat by any means (I can see straight through my linen ones against average light).

If you go ahead keep us updated though - I'd love to know more about how the wool wears; questions about its weight were a decent part of what was making me second guess whether it would play the role I wanted it to in my wardrobe.

Received my Minden loafers yesterday and am absolutely thrilled how the custom patina came out. Here are some unboxing photos.

Where I live in Canada, it is mild-cold most days, and the odd day is extremely cold (mild is probably -15C to 0C). I have a S&M Parka and Peacoat for those cold days where it gets below that, but with this being in wool and being layered, I can't see it as being too cold to wear here for the most part, not like I am going hunting with it for days on end lol.

 

[Evacipator]

Ha, that's all fair enough, but it goes to show how acclimation affects things. I consider myself much more amenable to cold than most people I know (mostly because I like to layer), but here if it gets down to 10C it's "freezing" and heavy overcoats are being brought out. If it's 17C then it will be described as 'cool' and knitwear and/or moderate jackets are standard. So it sounds as though it's likely a good weight for your needs, if not a good weight for me to take to Canada!

Does anybody have a Classic Safari Jacket? Tempted to try out the Abraham Moon Green Herringbone for this FW

Mine arrives on the 30th. It was made to order. Sand beige lambswool

 

[DFWWingnut]

I ordered the brown herringbone. Will post some pics when it gets here.

 

[saurabh]

My Yeossal shoes just got delivered pictures soon and so excited!!

 

[theh00d]

I kind of want a jacket in the Abraham wool as well.
Hmmm Chestnut or Military Green Herringbone?
Not sure if I should go with urban safari or jungle jacket.

Wanted a mottled olive jungle jacket but I already two linen safari jackets (natural and khaki green) from another brand, would that be over doing it? Lol

 

[bsarosi]

Anyone have loafers in YRB or DR70 lasts and can share photos? I'm considering a butterfly loafer and leaning towards one of those two lasts...curious if anyone has had a loafer made up in them.

Is this YC3 last?

 

[saurabh]

Just took delivery of the Yeossal - Thomson shoes (SpTD) and following are the specs:
Last: YC3 with 3 mm reduced instep.
Leather: Chestnut Utah (Hass Utah Grain Leather)
Size: 8UK/42
Sole: Leather (Black/Natural Color) + Metal Toe tips
Sole Shape: Spade
Heel: Tapered
Trees: Lasted shoes trees (Double Barrel Spring).
Extra: slight burnishing and shine on Toe/heel

Please Note pictures posted below are taken inside so they may look slightly darker than when taken outside.

My main concern was the fit and they fit perfect.
Good enough room in toe area and very good fit in length/heel/instep areas.

I am glad i didn't order the SG65 last as that would have been tight for the toes for sure as i feel the toe area is very tapered on that last and i think YC3 last is better suited for SpTD.
The only negative thing i can say for this order is the burnishing was done darker than what i had asked for.
After wearing for few minutes i feel i am fine with that burnishing and can use some Saphir Reno. conditioner to lighten a bit in future. Overall i am very happy with the shoes and i highly recommend Yeossal Team and Jackson.
These Guys are fantastic !!
I will post more comparison pictures with EG SpTD and G&G SpTD as well sometime soon

 

[JohnMRobie]

Those look great @saurabh! All these updates have me anxiously waiting to find out when mine from the CGMTO will be ready - Not that I have anywhere to wear them at the moment.

While I agree the burnishing is a bit dark in contrast with the leather, the overall aesthetic with the last shape is fantastic and I'm now even more excited to receive my Thomson on the same last. And I'm also glad to hear the 3mm reduction in instep worked as I had to do the same. And it's interesting you went with the spade sole but it doesn't protrude as much as I would have expected - very clean.

Thank you and I also have the CGMTO in Saddle brown Hatch grain but I halted the production on those until the Chestnut Utah ones were ready
