EG MTO Arrivals
We received some beautiful MTO’s from Edward Green yesterday. I am posting them today because I think it’s only fair the client has the first look (actually I have the first look but as your trusted adviser it’s a professional privilege). I’ve posted a few Corthay MTO’s but I believe these are the first Edward Green’s. So without further delay…….
Mr. R has created a unique version of the Newbury. To this whole cut oxford he added the winged toecap of the Southwold. This pair is in Acorn Antique with heavy burnishing, on the 888 last. Mr. R also likes his belts to match so we had one made for him as well.
Mr. C is a true shoe maven not only does he know shoes inside and out he has the vision to see how they’ll look. Take for instance this pair of Dover’s in Maple Antique on the 606 last with double leather soles. It took vision to see it in this color. It is the most beautiful Dover I’ve seen.
Mr. C also loves his monk straps as well as his stitched aprons. These Ashby’s in Burgundy Antique are also on the 606 last and very handsome. This color is perfectly suited to the shoe. I particularly like the heavy burnishing on this pair.
Edward Green MTO’s generally take 14 weeks according to the company. These pairs were ordered during the summer, which means they took longer since the factory is closed most of August. Nonetheless they are always worth the wait.

Those Newbury/Southwolds are inspired. Great job.
I especially like the look of the Acorn Antique. Sometimes the “chestnut” looks a bit too orange. These are perfect.

I imagine that those Dover’s will be exponentially more beautiful over time as the Maple Antique appears to have ample potential for developed patina.

I really like to the belt to match on the Newbury’s. Is the belt Edward Green? If yes, what is the rough cost? If not, who makes this and cost? The Acorn Antique color and Southwold wingtoe cap is very appealing indeed! Just curious what would you wear this?

The belt is by Edward Green the retail price is $170. I think this client plans to wear these with jeans mostly.
