Tony replied that patches are not an uncommon practice for older bespoke shoes. When the leather eventually rots and splits around the vamp it leaves a hole or tear. As Tony put it, "When the customer is so in love with the shoe that he does not want to throw it away, or even if he is try to save a few pounds by giving the shoe longer life, then we stitch a leather patch on the uppers, looking almost like a band aid/plaster. To be honest it looks better on black which is ok because most of the guys that would have this done come from an era where only black shoes were worn."
つぎはぎ修理は、古い注文靴では珍しいことじゃない。
