Now that you mention it, I, in-turn, recall basing my modification on the bespoke shoe I saw. Glad to see you carrying these great shoes. Ha!

I asked Tony about the St James last spring when it was introduced and he told me that it was modeled after the Bespoke shoe you referred to. He said that he has gotten so many requests for it as an MTO that he created the St James to fill that void. Great comment, thanks, Steven Ted,

I can't recall if I have the broguing on the quarters.
