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

I was under the impression the texture of London grain was the natural outcome of the tanning process and dry tumbling, not embossing. Nevertheless I like the versatility that leather offers.

According to the EG site, London Grain is milled. Utah and Country Calf are embossed.

Thanks to the wonderful advice of @mxgreen, these gorgeous NIB Edward Green for RLPL Barksdales are on their way to me:

At an absolute steal and with a full 30 day return policy.

I have the RLPL Barksdale in black, dark oak and burnt pine. Love this style of loafers.

Very interesting, thanks a lot! However, from my google research this morning it seems that the Montpellier and the Barksdale are still the only full strap loafers? It's the full strap design I'm after, but a (full) split toe would be icing on the cake.

Interesting info on the snugness of 100 and 101. I recently read that they would be much more accommodating do wide feet with high instep than the 184 - but maybe that's not the case? I don't own any EG loafers yet, so I'm quite keen on getting the fit right, especially when going MTO and in crup.

Thanks a lot!

My experience with RLPL Barksdale is that 100/101 last is narrower and has a lower instep than 184 on which have a couple of other RLPL loafers.

Very jealous! How recently were they available? Any chance I might still be able to find a dark oak pair somewhere?

 

[DorianGreen]

And pro tip: They frequently end up at outlets for a fraction of the price. I picked up the above double monks from the RL outlet for ~$500.

I love them, a unique design.

I'm investigating weather I can do a GMTO in dark brown cordovan (cognac crup), possibly on the 184. Interested?

Reach out to Meet the Hand or Stefan Shoes. They should be able to take care of that for you

Posted up a pair on the B&S page, anyone looking for some unlined Snuff Dovers on the 606 in a 9.5/10 are up for grabs.

If I was at a different stage in my shoe journey, I'd be all over these

Skin stitch was not available in cordovan (crup) in the past.

What you are essentially ordering as a MTO is a Montpellier in crup. Drake’s has stocked this model recently, as have EG. No need for a MTO.

Interesting info on the reluctance to do skin stitch in cordovan. However, apart from the skin stitch the Barksdale seems to have a fuller strap than the Montpellier so not completely similar, and the Barksdale also has a heel stitch. Would have loved to get the version from Drake's though, but alas I need F width.
