I just picked up the TLB Lancaster loafer from Yeossal and am pleasantly surprised by them.
Fantastic suede on par with just about any other brand or price point with an outstanding fit for me.

Hi, we are so glad you liked them and they fits you well. The suede are made of reverse calf and truly excellent value at their price point.

Thanks Jackson!

It is of great honor that I have the opportunity to join such a great family @yeossal. Both jackson and @PeeCeeBee and me share the same passion for menswear since the days we met and and finally we felt that it's time we bring some of our exciting products to the fellow enthusiast in styleforum. We have curated products throughout the globe and bring to our store varieties of products quality of the highest standard in our defintion without hefty price tag. Starting from TLB shoes from Mallorca, Spain to our own private label "Y by Yeossal" range of shoes and one piece collar polo shirt, we are slowly expanding more and more and more exciting product into our store. Coming soon in the pipeline includes Made to Measure shirts and suits. More detail to be announced soon... Stay tuned...

Also to note that there have been some confusion on the sizing for our "Y by Yeossal" shoes. I have listed out my various shoe size I have owned and worn as a reference for your comparison and selection...

Hey @techaview , thanks for the sizing info. It looks like you take the same size in the Loake Capital, Carmina Rain and YSQ. Would you mind briefly describing how the three differ in fit for you? I find the Capital fits a bit bigger all around than the Rain in the same size; wondering how the two compare to YSQ. Any help is appreciated!

In my case, Loake capital and rain last in both same size fit and feel similar to me in term of width and length. Perhaps it could be due to the narrowness of my feet. Capital last has a higher instep compared to rain last though. I can see the lacing gap close up more in capital over rain last.

YSQ’s is quite similar to capital in term of instep where the lacing gap close up more. Width is narrower than capital and rain, which fit better for me... this is based on my personal experience on wearing them. Hope this clarify :)

Why do you take a half size down from your rain size for the YC8? Can you describe the difference between the two lasts?

YC8 is elongated and wider at the toebox area, hence the sizing for me. The fit is quite similar to Enzo Bonafe 804 last if you have seen or wear it before.
As for the comparison with rain last, I will say the width is quite similar with YC8 with a slight narrower width than rain. This is through my own wearing experience though. I have not get down to measure the outsole width yet.

There is also a brief description between all our in house last on our IG post. Hope this clarify. Cheers

If this is the case, I've ordered the wrong size.

As have I. I wear UK 8 in EB 804 but ordered 43 (8.5) in YC8...

Guess I'll see how they fit but heads up now for those checking the thread that a pair of the Scotts in 43 may be for sale when the GMTO arrives.

Sizing is definitely why I was hesitant to jump on an MTO. Frankly, comparisons to Meccariello are not the most helpful considering sizing is tricky there as well.
