Yeah, burnt pine looks more milk chocolatey.

additionally she claims, that the gyw machine was not adjusted properly. which would produce a range of estimately twenty to twentyfive pairs in "low" quality.
I did a Google translation of that link and even though the translation was not perfect, I was amused (?) at the familiarity of the posts. Especially the one from (?) Hein observing that these shoes sell on the basis of their appearance and not on their intrinsic quality.

More likely chestnut or may be edwardian. Not burnt pine though.

I'm not a huge fan of AE but those Strands are nice.

I always wondered how a longwing derby would look without any brogueing on the topline, so kind regards to Angelicboris for posting it.

I would have liked this design had the brogueing been removed from the throat lacing and just kept to the brogueing along the longwing...but I will pass up on commissioning a special order on this design

Perhaps AngelicBoris can post on what inspired him to commission this design (unless its a standard AE design that I've just never seen before?)

There is only one true longwing design, and nobody has any business messing with it. Even Foo has repented for his sins.

I like those Strands, AB.

How did he mess it up?

Can you provide a link on where/when he repented?
