When it comes time for my EB jodh I'm thinking of that cleaner sole. I'm thinking of some sort of mid brown suede, 804 last, that sole, maybe a brown shell strap. Or a light- mid brown like the pair Skoak stocked recently.

Get a croc strap it looks great, ttown did it on his. Upcharge isn't a lot.
Hippo is also killer for a strap.

Yeah I would consider those straps as well. I've just yet to see anyone use shell on a strap and I'm also a big shell fan.


I think I've read an old thread somewhere on Sf of people complaining about the durability of a shell strap on a carmina jodhpur

How many of us are interested in the black calf chelsea on the 804 last, dainite sole? If there is enough interest shown here maybe Leaves will post a link on site?

I'm going for black, not really interested in a burgundy shoe at the moment.

Is the last fixed? I already have 3 pairs on 804. If it's a soft square last like 062 I'll be in.

And if bombe waist is possible can we do it? I think it is possible.

Any specific leather you are targeting? Got them in etrusco but since it's such a classic staple cap toe I could be in for either a really dark brown or something lighter

Vitello meleze, the same color shown in the picture.

Can anyone give a description of JL's Parisian brown
Suede? Is it close enough to polo or snuff that i can use either as a matching belt?

Also, has anyone tried shortening a Carlos Santos belt? Is the construction similar to Carmina?

I've never actually seen the 062. Any references?
