Instead of both...I would suggest you consider the Old English II...on the U last...but add a medallion. You can also remove the V tip apron design

Between these two models which one would be the most versatile?Originally Posted by rsuhandy
Which ones would crease the lease? (I'm assuming the captoes but I'd like to hear from
people with experience with the budapests)
Which color to get them in? (I'm trying to get them in as similar a shade as the westons that are in my avatar)
I like the look of the budapest oxfords better but only by a little bit.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
OP to my eye 6125 dark cognac with Italian polish or their burgundy cordo is closest to the Westons.
6125 is the most verstile Vass colour IMO. It's a dark dark red, just the right colour balance so the shoes look great without stealing the show ..

Thanks for all your input guys.
I've decided on the stock Old English II on the U last in Oxblood.
Only modification is a stitched throat opening instead of that weird
piece of leather at the bottom of the eyelets on the stock Old English II
Any objections?
