Edward Green Appreciation: Pictures, Info, and Where to Buy

[tuna roll]

I took the train up a few months ago when visiting from Australia. In the most common sizes there was mainly black oxfords and what most would perceive to be less desirable makeups (brighter green/yellow/orange suedes etc). I probably wouldn't go again.

Anything interesting to do around the area? Is the train ride itself pleasant?

Thinking about doing the same next time I'm in London and making a daytrip out of it.

As a tourist traveling from London, is it worth the train ride to Northampton to go to the factory shop during days when there are no extra promotions? Looking for size 6.5 wide shoes and country boots.

You'll never know unless you go. I went in March and lucked out on Shetlands and Banburys. But of course YMMV.

The ultimate loafer?

For quite a while I've been considering which loafer would be the most versatile, stylish, and comfortable. After some (okay, admitted, a lot of) research I've settled on the Barksdale, an old model made for RLPL. It features a very nice full strap (more masculine than the Montpellier), an heel seam, and a quite unique semi-split toe.

However, I think it would look better on the 184 with a rounded seem, and EG has confirmed they can do it, as well as making it unlined. The leather would be dark brown cordovan (Cognac Crup).

The price quote from EG nearly made me faint, though. So my questions are two: would anyone be interested in joining this make up as a GMTO through The Hand? And your thought on the make up, worth the money?

Cheers,
SKM

why unlined? It is a trend I don't get.

For comfort in the heat...

For comfort in the heat...

While I think benefits of unlined have become overblown lately, I do still have a slight preference for them, especially in a casual loafer. I could have missed it but I don’t see a price reference (other than you indicating that it’s pretty high). Obviously for me price is a factor but not likely the main one. I would absolutely be interested in a rounder toe. The squared model displayed would not interest me.
