1 inch: 2.54 cm. As you can see in the enclosed picture we sew 7 stitches per inch on the sole.
Here you can see model Martin / last 1000.

Much appreciated.
What is the difference between your 1000 and 2000 last?
Can your loafer be made on the 1000 last?

Yes, of course. It can be finished on the last 1000 as well.

The main difference between the last 1000 and last 2000 is the shape of the toe box.
The first has a round toe box, narrow waist, medium instep height, and medium width across the ball. Versus the last 2000. Which has a chiseled toe and a narrow waist, slightly higher instep and medium width across the ball.

Let me share a new picture of our Adelaide-Oxford model: Henry I. with you. A beautiful shoe all around finished on 1000 Last. A classic style with gorgeous handpainted soles. This Adelaide design was originally invented by legendary last maker Terry Moore from Fosters & Son in London ( as far as I know ). We like it very much...

Any plans to make matching belts for your shoes?

Good idea. We'll think about it!

After much anticipation our first loafer model, Anthony, finally arrived. Finished on our sleek and elegant last 2000. It is surely an eyecatcher. How do you like it?

I'm not just saying this, but this is the best looking last for a loafer I've seen. It's just so sleek without being too much.

Thank you, far too kind. We love this last as well. It took a long time till we decided, designed, and finished this model on 2000 last. We think it is a unique last and model!

I'm thinking a refined Paraboot Avignon. Very nice indeed!
The japanese should be all over this.

Agreed. Reminds me of almost a hybrid between JM Weston’s Demi Chasse and Chasse. Very nice!

That's kinda funny, I think the influence actually worked the other way round historically. Hungarian shoemaking is well known for its high toe boxes. While the long split is likely a Western European innovation, the practical and comfortable high toe box probably flowed over from Austro-Hungary to Weston (potentially via the Americans who had extensively borrowed from Austro-Hungarian bootmaking during the civil war) and finally to Paraboot.

Either way, I like this addition to the line up.

I know it is way too hot these days and we all wear loafers mainly. But a couple of days ago you requested more Adelaide’s, so here we are, Henry, on our 2000 last in navy box calf. A slightly unusual color for an oxford for sure, but still worked out quite well, right?

@rezso.kuti Can I ask what the payment scheme is like for MTO? All upfront or something like 50% upfront and rest when delivered?

Yes, we prefer full payment upfront.

how dark is the navy color? Bottom one seems a bit light while the top one and the photos at the site are quite dark navy
