This latest order the paperwork was fillled out by a different person who managed to spell my name correctly.

Grey Assams and oxblood Bihars.
I'm happy to report that the grey Assam actually is grey although in lower light they may appear brownish.

Assams are very similar to the Miller. The medallion is slightly different. They fit pretty much the same. That's a UK10 in both.

Bihar sole.

Bihar versus Ricard. That's a UK10 Ricard and UK9 Bihar.

Ummm...what?

hey guys,

did the ricards ever come in a dark brown suede? The ones at the Gravity Pope are nice but the color is a little lighter than what I was looking for. I'm wondering if the color in the picture is just off?

http://www.paulsmith.co.uk/paul-smit...roductId=17342
And
this brown starrs http://www.paulsmith.co.uk/paul-smit...productId=8255 also the same color as yours?

seems your pic look darker than those in www.paulsmith.co.uk. I am going to order http://www.paulsmith.co.uk/paul-smit...roductId=17342. So I want to know what the exact color is. Thanks

The PS site's pictures are off, there is only one grey for the Assam and one sigaro for the Starrs. Zippy's pictures are much more reliable than PS's

grover627 · Oct 3, 2009

Thanks. But I really love the color of gery Assams show in his web which is more dye and pale. showing more contrast of the shoes.

The grey Assams are actually grey and are not the color they appear to be on the PS site.
I think the colors in my pics are reasonably accurate.

The brown (sigaro) Starr pics on the PS site are fairly accurate too.

Also, the finish on the Assams is different. They're "bleached" versus "dip dye". The bleaching results in a more polished finish versus the semi-matte finish of the dip dye. I think a bleached sigaro finish would look pretty good but the grey Assams are definitely grey and not brown.

I got the Ox blood Bihars, after seeing the pics up there i'm going to order the browns as well... I actually like them more than the Ricards.

Razele · Oct 4, 2009

Hey guys, Has anyone seen the Pinkerton oakwood suede in real life? What's the distressing like? Great colour of suede and style but I'm unsure about the distressing.

They look pretty much the same as the Yorks I posted pictures of a few days ago only with the buckle. I think I actually prefer the look of the Pinkertons though you do lose the red elastic of the Yorks.

Zippy, since your didn't get held at customs, do you think you'll get hit with the customs charge? Mine was held but only for a day because I called right away and didn't need any paperworks signed to get cleared.

Got the dreaded bill from fedex today.
$88.65 total for the Bihars and Assams.
Shoes were assessed at 8.5% or $58.65.
The rest is a bunch of random fees.

KitAkira · Oct 5, 2009

Wow, that is harsh!

Hobbs · Oct 6, 2009

Still unsure about what size to go for in the Bihars. I take a UK8 in Starrs - should I drop down a full size in the Bihars?
