Ascot posted another pair in Horween hatchgrain on their IG two days ago. They source the leather from AA Crack.Did Vas’s have the hatch, or did Ascot make that possible?

There was a time when Vass stopped going direct unless you had been doing it with them before that date. It may be that they don't have so many retailers to support in that way any more.@aj2603 Ascot is a retailer, not direct as purchasing straight from Vass would be. Everyone in the chain has to get their cut, and he has to make a profit, so I'm sure the prices reflect that. How much of a profit I don't know. Is there a reason you're looking to go with him versus going direct?

^^ This. People shopping on Savile Row cant be bothered with mailing to Hungary and patiently waiting for an answer. I agree Ascots service isnt always the best but one must admit they offer something unique. Whether youre prepared to pay premium prices for that is up to you. Im not but then again I dont mind investing some time in buying shoes, on the contraryI don’t think ascot’s clientele really care about the price/the convenience is worth the extra amount.

I wanted to ask a quick question. Has anyone else noticed that the prices on ascot shoes website are generally more than other site. For example they r more than the prices on Vass’s own website and even shop Mehra. Is it me or has anyone else noticed this ? Does anyone know y this is ?
i had sent them an email regarding sizing more than 2 weeks back. still no reply
But if they ignore people who are interested in their shoes, charge more than other retailers and do not provide a customer service and any after sale support . These are basics that you have to take care of when running a business.
