The OH brought home some offcuts of the leathers I've chosen for my next pair.
In a deck shoe. The main colour and laces will be "waxy ruby" and the cuff and insole will be "sky blue".
Having initially cut them out my OH made the executive decision that the sky blue was "too bold" and instead changed it for Royal blue....In a deck shoe. The main colour and laces will be "waxy ruby" and the cuff and insole will be "sky blue".
They are progressing well and will be ready for the weekend. Heres a shot of them with the upper stitched but no insole/sole on yet. At this stage it is yet to be lasted so only has rough shape.
The laces will be swapped out once lasted and completed.
Thanks!
The company she works for uses standard lasts (in all sizes and widths) although they modify them if required by adding material them if required for example if you have a bunion, odd shaped foot.
There are 3 of them in the workshop full time and they make between 40-50 pairs a week.

Not something I would wear, honestly. But a change from the endless stream of tan brogues.What I can't get over is the plethora of trainers, mass produced cheaply using cheap materials for a very cheap product . . . . . at a hideously expensive price!

At least the brogues are made of quality materials with real craftsman input for a very high quality product . . . . . . at an equally high price.

They look well-made and good quality; crafts are always impressive to me. Might want to get her to stop using the shoes I used to wear when I was 2 years old in the 70s as inspiration though!
Not tempted to re-live some of your youth then?! Everything is so damned serious nowadays. Sometimes I just think "fk it, fk it all!"
What's wrong with owning a silly pair of shoes, bright trousers and a silly car.
