@andrel42 did Vass do the burnishing themselves by the way? I must say that they've really done a good job on your boots. Any idea how they've done it? Is it just by use of regular cream and/or polish? Or is it done in a more "permanent" way?

Thanks @hoodog yep they are burnished at the workshop and looks permanent to me if you look closely.

Awesome. I don't think I even know more than 3 people personally who have heard of Vass.

Any up close looks at the SP last? I'm pretty curious about impressions.

Looks a like a Vass trunk in Finland.....

^Nice. If three of a kind happens in one of my meetings, it's usually Kenneth Cole.

That's bloody hilarious!!!

I've been in meetings where we had: G&G, JL, EG and Vass in the same room...couple of clients couldn't understand why I kept looking down on them

@bdavro23 @peppercorn78

The fit feedback I got was that yes, similar to U, but very comfortable. Still new shoe, first time out of the house today. Made to his own measurements so fit is as right as it gets.

Close up for the colour as the shoes artived to Finland. Very plummy :)
