He was emphasizing that it's a seamless derby (what would be the interesting point), no words about no closing seam!

No 'whole-cut' oxford is ever made from a single piece: there is always an additional tongue.
So, should Roy refrain from calling his stingray shoes 'whole-cut'?

Saint Crispins even call their 114 model 'seamless' when there is a clear seam visible. A truly seamless shoe probably won't be made because of the tongue. But in case of the stingray... Both we needed to cut up 'wholly'.

You are telling me no news here, but I think you dont get my point (or I didnt put clearly enough into words), I mean the seamless lacing on a wholecut derby (what would make that type of shoe really interesting).
I am not interested in discussing nomenclature issues!

There is a variation of the "˜whole-cut derby' without the laid-on facings.
This one has quite an extensive under-laid tongue. Nevertheless, not without a seam.

Thanks that is partly of what I have thought!
This one indeed has seams at the back...I thought of at maximum manipulation, tour de force wholcut derby thing I have only seen from Lattanzi in some varations, without closing seams and without laid on facings, there is also a photo somewhere on SF!
