Officer Low Quarters..

how long till we can get a pair of WWII Officer's Low Quarters from you?

Yep, I was just thinking the same thing. Here's a heads up Indy - There is room in the market for WWII Officer Low Quarter dress shoes in russet leather. The reproduction manufacturers keep saying that they're going to offer them but haven't yet.

Someone had approached me about doing the low quarters (but simplified to cut costs, namely standard soles and heels) but it fell through. I could do these out of "sienna brown" or "saddle brown" calf or brown lamb for $260 (shipped). If anyone is interested, drop me a line and we'll discuss the details.

Kind regards,
Indy

Indy I think your longer vamp version gives the shoe a better proportion than the mag template.

Thanks! A lot of our shoes can vary slightly from customer to customer as they are cut based on the shape of your feet. So whether you have a high or low instep, for example, may change the look of the shoe. It's all about what works best for each foot.

Kind regards,
Indy

Buzz Rickson Chukka

This is another Buzz Rickson shoe that is extremely cool, someone else posted the Chukka earlier but this one is a better color (IMHO) and the leather is especially nice too.

Those look easy enough to do. Likewise, we could do these in a sienna calfskin.

Here are a couple of Spectators we just finished for a couple of Loungers:

This is as good a time as any to chime in.
My wife bought me a pair of the brown and cream Spectators for Christmas.
The shoes are a comfortable fit right out of the box. I am very happy with the shoes!
Nice job Indy.

Nice to see 'em in the flesh rather than on the sepia coloured web site IMHO.

Re those Buzz Rickson chukkas - man they are hot!
