I love my Rosewood CC Dovers so recommend that choice. It’s a warm, inviting colour with a casual aesthetic.For your sixth pair of Dover, would you guys get Nightshade calf or Rosewood Antique Country calf? Both 606 last.

With this lineup, you likely already have full coverage across your wardrobe.Dark oak, brown London grain, black Utah, brown country calf, brick red suede (forgot the name? Clove?), brown mink suede.
I can't imagine a scenario where this would be appropriate.With this lineup, you likely already have full coverage across your wardrobe.
Perhaps the only gap I can think of is a pair of Dovers for your formal dinner apparel (e.g., black tie or tux). I think nightshade could potentially fill this gap.
Rosewood antique CC is very very nice - but I think your brown london and brown CC is providing huge coverage already. Rosewood does give you a little more pop in color than the browns you have, but your clove suede can serve that same purpose. Though, of course, if want that same pop for the fall and winter months, then Rosewood makes a lot of sense, as the clove suede (if unlined) would likely not pair as well with the heavier fabrics (e.g., tweeds).
@flylikeneagle didn't your Rosewood pair from the Hand as well? Wild to see the difference in burnishing. Although I don't recall how long ago you got yoursJust received my pair of Galway in rosewood CC on last 202 from the hand

Really love them.
Agreed. My pair is from 2021, Dennis may have changed specs. Even the Rosewood color looks different, but I suppose this could be due to lighting.@flylikeneagle didn't your Rosewood pair from the Hand as well? Wild to see the difference in burnishing.

Oh okay, so older. I think EG just has variation over the years. I see it in different years of their DOAK most consistentlyAgreed. My pair is from 2021, Dennis may have changed specs. Even the Rosewood color looks different, but I suppose this could be due to lighting.
You’ve made a great job of those.I finally had a pair of Falkirks made up and took delivery of them in December 2024. I went through The Hand (Dennis). I had to do some settling with regard to the colour as I initially wanted them in Burnt Pine and when that was off the table, as a second choice I selected Hazel, but that was later declined as that colour is also no longer offered by E.G. After much hesitation I settled for Edwardian Antique, but had in mind from the get go that I would darken them myself.
PS: In the pics below I have already darkened them significantly through the application of various shades of mid and dark brown shoe cremes. From the factory, Edward Antique is a very pale shade of brown.
An old post of mine, in which I expressed my desire to someday have a Falkirk made up in a mid brown tone: https://www.styleforum.net/threads/...d-where-to-buy.291745/page-2441#post-10383888

Thank you kindly!You’ve made a great job of those.
Nice looking shoes! Does anyone know what model this fancy punched wingtip loafer is? Or, which antique color? It's unfortunate that EG does not have a heritage page on thier site to show models offered over the years. Is anyone else noticing the rather thin current worldwide online inventory of EG boots and shoes?I finally had a pair of Falkirks made up and took delivery of them in December 2024.

This is true. Mine range from at oldest a kind of orangey brown through a ruddy brown to my newest ones being a lighter warm tan.Oh okay, so older. I think EG just has variation over the years. I see it in different years of their DOAK most consistently
