Cravate apart from a tiny single line of stitching that brown single monk looks identical to the Vass I have in the same style. Cross-fertilization between Mannina and Ugolini (wo designed the Vass F) around the corner perhaps?

I have a few MTO experiments in the pipeline and these arrived last week:

The bright light makes the suede look a lot lighter than it actually is.

These shots were taken in a little more shade but still the suede appears lighter.

Wes - I wanted to experiment with a few different options. As it happens, another balmoral boot is in the works as well

To be perfectly honestly, I don't know (as I didn't purchase them from JL). However, based upon when I bought them (around 2 years ago), it would have been no more than 3 years ago. Cheers Clint
