Looks like a terrific outcome, and the turnaround time doesn't seem long at all.

They look like some Aubergine Arca's, by Pierre Corthay

Definitely up there as one of my "grail" shoes.

I think that Arca's may very well be some of the most gorgeous shoes I have ever seen. If only they were Goodyear welted

The 2 eyelet derbies look like the Lobb Luffield.

Also, I believe that Corthay are GY.

This is the nicest looking Alden PTB I've ever seen. The shoe looks terrific on the Plaza last.
