The EG Chelsea is a great option and John Lobb is considered one of the quintessential choices when it comes to this style. However I have seen some fairly decent choices from other shoemakers. There was one from Vass that looked pretty interesting that one person posted on a forum I frequent. St Crispins would be another shoemaker I would consider, and G&G does a pretty nice one as well. These are the ones that always come to my mind when I think of this particular shoe.

I look forward to seeing which choice you make.
