Skoaktiebolaget – Enzo Bonafé, Saint Crispin’s, Löf & Tung

I ve tried septième largeur it is far below the standard of Skoaktiebolaget.
Even Carlos Santos is far better.

In what way are Carlos Santos shoes "far better"?

Even Carlos Santos is far better.

I also have both, and I'm not sure that's true.

Neither maker is particularly high quality, but they make good looking shoes.

I bought two pair and not happy with it. Quality is very low from my point of view.
I bought two pairs of Carlos Santos, after 10 wear with each time 6/7 km of walk always look almost new. Not the case with septième largeur, lot of crease.
On one pair of 7L boots I had to make a patina on it to have an acceptable look, too much discolouration.
Before

After

So I m not saying it s bad but at this level of price Carlos Santos is better from my point of view.
Carmina is also far above both brands.

This reminds me of something from J.Fitzpatrick which makes me think were going to see something Spanish or J.Fitz itelf. That being said, the fudging on that model in the picture is throwing me...

may be Vass, this brand is in line with Skoaktiebolaget standard and customer base.

Vass would be great. I'm curious how much are Vass' shoes if you buy it from their Budapest store?

 

[CLTesquire]

They have repeatedly said they’re not stocking Vass in the past.

Of all the shoes I’ve seen posted from mystery maker, none of them are Vass welts. Also, Vass does not have a list that looks like that derby above.

Also the Valway boot design is slightly different from the Galway copy on Skoak (or patrik’s) instagram.

So, not Vass.

Happy to share Vass Cipo store prices via pm to anyone interested. Don’t want to get too off topic here.

Come to think of it, looks a lot like Edward Green Elmsley as well...

When will the official announcement of the new brand be?

 

[ericgereghty]

Definitely hope it’s not Vass. Would much prefer a lesser known maker than one already well known and established.

 

[budapest12]

It is unquestionably not Vass as others have said that is just NO.

 

[deez shoes]

When will the official announcement of the new brand be?

Probably in two months... Yup, two more months of guesses

 

[ericgereghty]

I believe word was March, or somewhere thereabouts.

 

[CLTesquire]

I think it’s going to be a house brand. Next logical step for them in my opinion.
