I think this one has been discontinued (in this box-calf color, at least) but the medallion is available on two or three other derby/oxford models.

We are getting that model in suede for Spring. I've always liked that design, wingtip derbys are difficult to execute well but that one has a nice dandy feel to it.

Yes, glad to hear you're out in Hong Kong again. Stop by and we'll go get a drink afterwards, the guys wanted to catch up. O, and try the chelsea boots. I would say they are life-changing but I'm slightly biased.

One more photo of Carmina's shoes.
Single monk with a split toe in cordovan (it is reddish, #4 color?). How can I know what last they are on?
