Carrie, compared to Chromexcel FQHH as well as to Aero's new goat, how heavy and stiff is the Vicenza? Is it significantly lighter and more supple than the Chromexcel?
The new collar design is much better than the old shapeless collars. I would prefer a leather facing, though. IMO it would look better and eliminate the risk of rain being wicked inside.
The first pair belongs to hbk, the second one is mine. Unworn and custom made. Mine have a bevelled waist, yes. The instep part of the sole is wood pegged. They are size 11. Unfortunately they are so narrow that I can't even get my feet inside. Like a AAAAAAAAAAAAA width. Believe me, that was a...
