Does cordovan really wear warmer than calf?

Sent from the exploded Death Star using GAGT

I don't feel the difference when wearing cordovan as compared to calf. Cordovan leather isn't much thicker than calf so I don't see why it will be warmer

 

[josephkjc]

Thanks! Seems like they are only avail in Inca last. I am leaning towards calf as the price is significantly lower, and it seems like cordovan is too warm for warm climate like singapore. anyone has experience with cordovan shoes?

carmina seems a lot sleeker than vass. not sure if it makes sense to go for vass than carmina

Let me tempt you... Vass blue museum calf in U last
There are other sleeker lasts for Vass but you gotto try and see whether your feet is suitable?

Very minimal and pretty much negligible imho.

The socks one wears probably will affect more

Pores are denser.

Who told you this?

What a load of bollocks! I wear Cordovan boots here all the time

But then again I also wear 22oz denim in our local weather, so YMMV.

Wah 22 Oz raw jeans! I think my thickest only 15-16 Oz, how much difference in real sg weather does it feel ah? Haha!

Like Armour

Wears ok imo. Its really really comfy once broken in. Unless outdoors for a very long period in the blazing sun then not much of a difference. Not that I'll recommend it for hiking here though

But the feeling of heavyweight, quite hard to go back to normal denim afterwards. Feels like wearing tissue paper

 

[Beta_Tester]

18oz I already wanna cry. I was wearing the nudie 18oz one..in Europe for few.months OK..come back SG. I wanna cry.

I sure will be outdoor for long period if I'm doing photoshoots lol!
I remember the first few wears whenever I buy a new raw jeans, can't even squad properly to get angle shots.

But still 22oz seems very challenging, btw what brand and model is that jeans?

Which model is the 18oz one?

looks good. is this custom?




I am also looking at another brand - yanko. seems to have pretty good reviews on styleforum, and apparently "better" than meermins. Anyone tried them before?

 

[xtreamzz]

Heard of yanko. Apparently it's between meermin LM and carmina quality which is pretty sweet. Have not tried yet but I think you can get from skolyx or something

The other 2 places are patine.pl and shoeparadis. Been toying with the idea of getting a pair of burgundy dbl monks from them since feb. But this festive season is already burning a big hole in my pocket

 

[xtreamzz]

Just wack with year end bonus Haha. Actually their pricing is not too bad I think slightly below 400 sgd (283 usd after shipping to sg) after the removal of vat. But the thing is even on sf the yanko thread isn't really moving so getting the correct size will involve alot of guesswork and luck

N&F elephant 4. Overdyed indigo + black weft makes them super versatile even for business casual, since you can cuff and not have the lighter underside of typical white wefts showing!

Got em cheaper at TDS then even what Blue Owl was selling cause Sinkie dont really wear overweight stuff then they cannot sell

Before that was in IH666

Ah Yanko, the grand-daddy of Carmina/Meermin before the family schism

But they seem more popular for their crust calf options for patina
