    Hi Mark, I often see you wear loafers in these videos, do you recommend any socks to wear with loafers, anything I've tried even mid to high end slips easily at the heel. And for the video, I love these vintage fabrics, really stands out compared to mostly monotone and generic patterns out today.

  • @cjarloz
    @cjarloz Před 3 dny

    Thank you!. The tonal looks and perhaps some very high contrast would be how I would use this as well. One of the few occasions where a dark solid shirt makes sense with no tie. With a toe it would need to really blend into the outfit to let the jacket shine imo. A perfect candidate for the model 13. One day I would like to have a patterned on a Florentine style jacket. Simply perfect.

    Well, I never knew Canons was the continuation, sort of, of F&Co. I've taken up bottoming as a hobby in my 50s.... I've done it so I can restore British made goodyear welted shoes that I couldn't justify the cost new, for my own use.(I only need an upper whose leather is still decent) And, I love doing it! I'm picking up tips and tricks from the Net and looking at the bottoming work done on bespoke/higher end shoes...guess how it's done, and apply it. Seeing that Simon learned the who (basics) craft in a few years with Terry from F&Co makes me wish I done similar. Maybe I could rent a tent in London and have a second, MUCH more satisfying career, I only want to 'make' , not buy the whole show. Well done Simon, hat tipped to you sir. Thank you for this wonderful video.

      They can. Carmina does it, but it's not easy as the scan of the foot still has to be converted into the last that takes the inside shape of the shoe. The last is not a replica of the foot, but an interpretation of the shape of the shoe.

      ​@@anonymousonlineuser6543that is too simple. You cannot take a copy of a foot and just cast that as a last. You have to know where to add space, remove space, have to know how the customer likes to have their shoes fit. And then translate that into the shape the customer wants. So it hast to be a complex programm that has to have a lot of information in last making from last makers. It has to be a good translation, it musst be able to adapt to custom requests, it has to have a lot of data points etc pp. Carmina does it but they are only trialing it. Shoegazing tried it and it seemed only as good as adjusted lasts, so adding on to existing lasts. And the pricing is very high for the last only, we will see If it sticks around. A lastmaker will also be able to adjust the custom Last after fittings. A machine won't. Or you need yet another custom machine/new last with new custom inputs. Or you know... a lastmaker in addition to your machine. Which would of course make no sense. Why not just have him make the last in the first place then?

You could have like 3 dimensions (lenght, width and instep height) like RTW shoes lasts used to be made a century ago but it wouldn't really require scanning, you would just need a fairly large last library. Which is also how the vast majority or cordwainer made shoes before RTW shoes existed. Making the last for the client has always been very niche.
