The pair from Yohei Fukuda are mine, and the Marquess pair belongs to Stefan Ravnanger who works at Skomaker Dagestad オスロにて。このようなクローズアップなどは新品の靴ではよく見かけますが、中古の靴ではあまり見かけないので、私としては余計に新鮮に感じます(何しろ靴は一度しか新調しないので、このように見えます)。洋平と庄司 二人ともイギリスで修行した経験があり、1900年代前半の英国製靴にこだわりを持っています。また、彼らは良き友人でもある。
Thank you for this wonderful post. As I am deciding which Japanese Bespoke maker to pursue, this information is extraordinarily valuable.
I must say that both have their strengths. I far prefer the last shape of YF from the top down view, but prefer the details of Marquess. And the latter is a shorter wait time from what I gather.
Would also love to see how Hiro Yanagimachi compares, which is far more accessible than these two masters in the US.
