Does this EG harrow has a web site? I can't find it.

More to chose from.

Btw. the deconstructed shoes are really Italian or I just made it up?

I changed the topic title. Are these deconstructed Italian loafers more comfortable for a walk? Example brands, models? I know they are not in season now in places like London but anyways.
This is my first posting and I would like to introduce myself. I am an almost retired senior civil servant old enough to have had his first bespoke suit at age 5 or 6...for want or RTW! RTW is relatively new to guys of my generation and in my days even shoes were bespoke. I concede shoes were somewhat special for bespoke usually began when you had stopped your growth. Sorry I cannot offer you now what I was planning to bring as an introductory gift in the form of a pic. My last moving makes it impossible. All around me is chaos. Anyway. After many years of bespoke I landed in EG and I never looked back. The models I wear are Picadilly and Belgravia with a bias on this last one. It is my understanding that the late King Edward wore them as slippers, something I perfectly understand. I used them as slippers too. And with biz attire, sport...I lost one pair in a fishing outing, just to give you an idea of the model´s versatility and awesome comfort. I enclose a link to a EG pictorial index with excellent alternatives ot the models mentioned though be warned the catalogue is far from complete.

Models-- and lasts, as well. Good to see that this is functioning again.

And greetings, castiglione.
