Guys, I'm going to put up two Meermin loafers for sale, thought I'd check if there's any interest here first.

Snuff Suede String Loafers(UK6)

Dark Brown Calf(UK6.5)
https://meermin.es/articulo.php?idArt=4390

I thought the Ron last would be safer for me as opposed to Carmina's Uetam, and I was dead wrong. Turns out I have to size down by a good one size at least to prevent heel slip. I'll let them go for $180 each, or 300 for both.

Is a shame. They're pretty nice shoes. We have very different foot size though

I feel you pal. Your brown suede is string or tassel loafers?

Custom Made Shoes

Greetings from The Modern Gentleman,

My humble and deepest apologies to my fellow modern gentlemen.

It seems that i have made an honest mistake about goodyear welting. My custom made shoes are not goodyear welted, but rather they are welted using a different technique from goodyear welting.

I do not want to bore you with the finer details but think of the construction as an "in between" of blake and goodyear welting.

For those who are interested in the finer details or any other questions, please feel free to PM me. I'll be more than happy to answer your questions to the best of my ability.

Once again, my apologies for my mistake.

Sincerely,
The Modern Gentleman.

Bore us. I would like to learn what is in between blake and goodyear welting because the research and information on this lost art is hardly available on the internet.

I'm sure most of us here would like to be "bored" with the finer details :)

Snuff suede string loafers, and dark brown calf tassel(I typed "cassel", haha) loafers.

If you're a UK7 I think the dark brown calf might fit you; it's a UK6.5 but generally you need to size down for loafers. Anyway, if any of the shoe thread regulars want the shoes I'll knock the price down even more. ;)

They've both been worn exactly twice. I'll take pics later but I can't return them because there's already signs of use on the soles.

I am keen in the suede tassels. Ballgag, what's your edetal size again? I am worried it might run a little too small for me. I am a size 40✌️

39, but the Meermins are too big for me so there's a chance for you. They are not tassels though, string loafers mate. I try to take a pic when I'm back.

If you think these details are boring, why are you even in this business? No passion for your products is tantamount to lousy products.

You are right about one thing though - your posts are boring. K thx bye.
