    I agree with everything you have said in those two posts, but l will not agree on the issue saying my Branchini is fake bentivegna. We will have to agree to disagree on that point. I also disagree on the below point and true my best to explain why. You say = "Norv NEVER has a strip of leather...

    Definitely doesn't have a welt, it has a rand (bonwelt), and that is why it is blake-rapid....the rand doesn't serve the same function with inseaming that the welt would serve. Completely different function here. Note:there is also no L welt/rand along the outside of the shoe, only a strip of...

    Yep, can be impossible to tell norvegese from fake norvegese from the outside of a shoe. Unfortunately norvegese was not available or else l would have bought them in a flash/. Anything norvegese gets my interest straight away!

    Stefano Branchini have a line of fake norvegese (this pair) and real norvegese. My pair in the picture were unfortunately fairstitch construction (blake-rapid) with norvegese like decorative stitching on the outside.

    Fantastic find Cookie. Yeah, with the declining aussie dollar the bespokes are now becoming very costly. Cleverley are now modernising and different fromtheir past because they are now using some antiqued leathers and do lots of different colour exotics. Wow, absolutely AMAZING. I have two...

    Teemu made the last, clicked the leather and cut the pattern. It shows how good he is...he is an artist. He laid out the scales top perfection!!! Morio did the fine needle work stitching of the soles and bevelled waist etc. Teemu and myself have an intricate meeting of the minds on the finest of...

    Got my new pair today after a 2 year wait. Didn't mind the wait because it was well worth it. The fit is superb and the shoes are perfect. The shoes are very very elegant and not a wide square toe like in the picture...it is a very elegant chisel that photographs can't do justice to. Various...

    I know, and you are a very VERY lucky man to own it. What's more is that the fit is wonderful. I LOVE Santoni norvegese and bentivegna. Yes, you will never find anyone more appreciative of good shoos than me. Hopefully one day Cleverley will name a shoo after me, that would be the utimate...
