Ordered the EB loafer. Great makeup.

Good to see some GMTOs going. How about a brown suede chukka?

@Leaves any EB chukkas in coming fall collection?

This one is making a come back as it sold out very quickly, probably because Simon Crompton posted his pair that he got from us on Instagram last fall.

@Leaves - is the Enzo Mahogany GMTO going to be a full size run or just those who sign up now? Also, curious as above if any Enzo Chukkas in Fall.

That EB Mahogany Shell Cordovan is actually a pre-order so it is already in production. I might be able to add a pair if you confirm to us ASAP.

Please forgive me basking, but is there a real benefit from handwelting ir is it only a point of pride and craftsmanship?

Go look up GYW gemming otherwise this is going to turn into 50 pages of debate

What's the last?

It was an honest question. I wasn’t looking to provoke

I have no interest in promoting a discussion on the matter but the argument is that handwelting is a superior construction method because it doesn’t require glued gemming that you have in the Goodyear welt process. Some say the gemming can fail over time. Others also say that a handwelted shoe is more comfortable over time.

Those are the main points I have seen.

It’s a fair question but one that has been discussed at length in many threads and has strangely provoked a lot of vitriol in the past.

I understand, but other than give you @reasonablebro answer, I can't give you an answer without this place derail for the next 50 pages, and I certainly prefer not to do it in a affiliated thread

I am in for EB Mahogany Shell Cordovan. Loafers are not for me, I do not have any in my collection.

@Leaves Can you disclose EB autumn stocking plans?

Seems like a good occasion to remedy that.
