Alfred Sargent Handgrade - Pictures

[kev777]

AS MTO Handgrade Hunt in Chestnut Antique on the 48 Last Via ShoeHealer Personally final finished by Chay Cooper of Alfred Sargent Thanks Guys

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

As fine as RTW English Handgrades get. And beautifully finished!

Chay finished these personally himself over Xmas for me and delivered them too !!! A real gent and he did a great job i think. I placed another order for a make up of Dark Brown Calf and Pin Grain Dark Brown spectator (ish) !! Pics to follow..................

Just an update pics wont follow as I was sadly informed my Handgrade make up wont be forthcoming seems like AS were too busy doing other things and forgot/mislaid/couldn't be bothered blah blah blah !! Looks like my pennies will be spent elsewhere !!! Such a shame as my other Handgrades were top notch !! Looks like Chay leaving didn't do me any favours !! I would be interested to learn if anyone has received Handgrade MTO's recently (not group exclusive to handgrade last orders) ???

Those will be well worth the wait. Trust.

Have you seen this pair of shoes, made for AS for Herring Shoes?

They might not be in quite the same colour scheme as the one that you wanted, but in terms of the design it certainly seems to fit the bill, and they do look lovely.

They were part of the reasoning behind my MTO make up as Chay had advised me they were bringing in some "lovely pin grain" and we discussed a semi brogue Dark Oak Calf & Pin Grain make up and I subsequently placed the order. I'll eventually get them just wont have the AS name on it.

I love the fact that Chay sends me advance pictures of the shoes as they are being made, but the wait really is getting to be too much to bear. Another pair just finishied - shp them Chay!! They are beautiful. Back to the boar's head medallion.



More pics when they arrive.

Some more pictures.

Beautifull boots

Thanks guys. Both pairs have worn well. I should take pics.

R, the top is an eyelet so that if it's laced up to the top, there's a lower chance of the lace being knocked off the hook. I think it was fairly common.
