^ They're at least underrated in my closet as I only have 1 pair as of now. I plan on getting 1 or 2 from AS. This Autumn Brown seems like the perfect shade of not too dark and not too light. Great for most any type of wear from slacks to jeans.

I think those who got in on that offer got a great deal. Slewfoot, will you be getting lasted trees if that last works out for you?

^ I thought about lasted shoe trees, but I doubt I'll do it. At least not for now. First I'll see if a Woodlore model fits them well enough. I suspect something will. I'm not thinking extravagance with this last. It's more practicality and comfort with a sharp look.

Look forward to seeing the 1st pair you get made with that last.

Back to AS: Groover and Chay's pics are great, as is the AS blog, but when will we get to peep the complete new lineup and available options?

D-

I'm thinking the whole lasted shoe tree is a little overblown. That said, I have a pair of U last trees that get 24 hours in whatever shoe I take off in the evening - and they make every shoe look bettter.

^ Funny you say that as I use my U last trees to stretch and form some of my other shoes and it works like a charm.

Moral of the story is, the U last rocks.

Thanks Wes, we are trying to get the new site up within a couple of weeks with all the details of both new ranges, AS Handgrade and AS Exclusive. Along with new Premier and Country pictures a bit clearer than on the current site.

Best, Chay.

Any idea where I can see AS Handgrade in person in London?

The AS factory? You may want to send Chay Cooper a message. He's more than accommodating.
