That’s what it looks like YRB or the BN7.

So Jackson got back to me and, in his opinion, YRB is the closest to EG 82. So, I think I've finalized my Patterson: oxblood hatchgrain uppers, grey suede shafts, YRB last, dainite soles. Only consideration is whether to go with oxblood hatchgrain or wine patina (grain vs smooth) for the uppers but I'm leaning towards the oxblood hatchgrain.

The team finally sent me some photos of the real life suede swatches. But they did it through IG temporary photos so I had to screen shot them and honestly the lighting looks off. I’ve requested them to resend them to me because the brown kudu wasn’t included in the snaps.

But for now, here’s what I captured.

So they don't have a swatch available for brown kudu available on hand, but they are going to send me a photo soon.

I've also asked them to lay the grey kudu on top of a misty brown shoe so that I can get a better feel for the grey color. I've found photos on IG of the grey suede to be much lighter than the photos above like a medium grey rather than the darker shade.

Does anyone own the Vintage Selvedge Chambray shirt? Was just wondering how it would fare as a casual shirt as I have been wanting a nice chambray shirt for a while, but most OTR shirt's are kind of sucky for me besides S&M so far

Don't have the shirt, but sucky in what way? I'm personally a big fan of the Neapolitan stuff. I haven't seen any selvedge shirts on the street, so it'd be an interesting choice.

Just mainly boxy fit, especially in the waist and excess sleeve fabric. S&M has done pretty well for me, want to try their custom program, but they only have a Red Chambray right now and wanting an indigo and grey colour first lol

Ok so grey kudu is out of stock and it is not the same grey suede I saw in IG. The lighter grey suede is Bonaudo which is in stock.

And I got a photo of the brown kudu suede so that’s what I’ll go with for the shaft.

now they just need to fix the shipping cost.

Finally got my order in. Apparently they have now added a mixed leathers option in the menu so that you can choose the shaft leather and then the uppers.

Details of the order:

That’s nice . Apparently they need to correct the pricing as the shaft and upper pricing is calculating double if someone chooses Utah, Janus suede, museum calf as mixed leathers.

Thanks fellaz, looking at Pewter Gray upper and trying to decide shaft and last. For last, I am torn between DR70 and YRB. I have Galway on 82 already.
I feel like the YRB is closest to the 82.

I went with DR70 bc I want something sleeker and dressier.
