Good idea, but I have a brown balmoral already.
I am thinking to ask Cliff to make the new pair.

Very nice! Suede/calf combination is a great style. Who's making this pair?
Thank you. The Mystery shoemaker.

May be Hungary, I think.
But I just speak Chinese and English, so better to deal with a british company.
I also do it by digital file, so I don't know will other workshops can handle it.

Italy, Germany, Austria... all countries, who have a certain tradition in shoemaking.
