What is the feeling about the standard soft-sided Edward Green briefcases floating around? Does anyone have pictures of one that has actually been used? These have been made in what seems like fits and starts over the years. Perhaps they were mostly MTO for a time.

Reviews or additional info would be appreciated. Also, does EG make those polishing mits any longer?

I noticed EG has raised prices on their own web store, so these Galways at 995GBP are now 'cheap' too!

Need some sizing advice:

Seems most are in agreement that one should take the same size in EG for all lasts, but wondering if anyone can provide a comparison of the 888 and 82/915 lasts (almond toe shaped) as it pertains to fit?

I wear a 9E in the 888, though the fit is on the slightly looser side (which I prefer). How does the almond toe 82 and 915 lasts compare? The reason I ask is that I size down a half size from Enzo Bonafe's chisel toe 946 last to its almond toe 804 last. Wondering if I need to do the same for EG.

For comparison, I wear a 9E in GG06 last and it fits a little snugger than the 888 in same size, yet not too snug for my liking. In fact, I would say the fit is perfect whereas the 888 is just slightly looser.

Additionally, would 8.5 in 202/64/72 be ideal for me knowing that those lasts are rounder and slightly wider in fit? Or do folks stick with the same sizing as 888/890 for those lasts?

First wearing of my burnt pine captoe derbies. Managed to snick the toe on concrete stairs at my daughter's school 15 minutes after putting them on but hey, that's patina.
