Those are rare Barkers, curious as to where you got them. My understanding is that the "Arthur Barker" were made as a test run but never went into production. I have a pair, without any size or last or production number. They are made to approximately Edward Green standards. When I wrote to the Barker office they told me the above. Any further info appreciated.

Yep, that.

The hunting green suede longwings are a makeup I've only seen from them so far. Been tempted. @smfdoc have you found them to be versatile enough? Like do you feel you can wear them in the flannels to denim range or only on the casual side? I wonder if a darker welt stitch would help in making them cover a wider range.

I usually wear them with either blue/navy slacks, khaki or jeans. These are what I wear when going casual and they work well. I do not try to use them as "dress shoes" as I have many other options for that. I do not find the welt stitch color to be difficult to work with. They are just a great pair of shoes that I can wear to the office with slacks. They only thing they do not work with is a suit. I love them.

Also check out this post where a member is wearing them with much lighter slacks.

Hello, I was in Prauge and took these from from the Barker store, I was told they are special edition, there is size mentioned in them.
Also there is a Barker logo.
