One of the makeups I'm kicking around it is an Italian Oxford V cap in Navy museum. So good sir. Very nice heap of Vass you've purchased.
There is so many possibilities with this brand I need to take the leap

Thank you sir!
Indeed, their MTO program is so good that makes possibilities almost endless.

Gorgeous footwear and outstanding photos!

I would like to have a chukka boot made with a rubber sole but instead of a Dainite, with a thin, more dressy one like the EG "flexible rubber sole".
Does anyone know if Vass can source soles like that?

Any reason you wouldnt just topy for the best of both?

Yep. Although not sure why one would want a sole much thinner than single Dainite.

What do you mean with "the best of both" in regards of a topy on top a single leather sole?
As for the reason why I look for a thin rubber sole, I have a small frame and tiny UK6 feet, the pairs of boots on rubber soles with more than 5 mm thinkness, like in a single leather sole, that I own look very clunky on me.
I am looking for a sleek casual shoe though, that I can wear to most occasions and under most weather conditions.

I got a pair of double monk in Tomir sole from Carmina, same thickness to single leather sole & that would be suitable for you. Guess you could email Mr Kuti for a try?

Tomir is not same thickness as leather. At TheProperKit trunk show they told me leather was 2mm slimmer than the Tomir sole. Yes I'm splitting hairs

@jssdc - that is amazing makeup. Is that on double leather sole?

I have also just pulled my trigger on my 1st Vass.

 

[EUtroll]

@jssdc They're beautiful! Which last are they one?

 

[Diabolical]

I put an order in on April 6th, still waiting. Hopefully they'll be completed soon.

It's done! Brandy kangaroo ankle boots. Really looking forward to them.

Looks great! What are the defining characteristics of kangaroo leather? I know it's used on the pads of woodwind instruments.

High tensile strength leather, unique grain. Soft from what I hear. Upland hunting boots have been made out of this for a while.
