I've never seen this brand before. The description says they are Blake stitched. This would be my first pair of shoes outside AE.

+1I have bought from Herrings on several occasions throughout the years and I have never had a bad experience with them. In every case I found myself thrilled with the footwear they had sold to me.!
Stemar is Moreschi's top line. I do not own any, only usual Moreschi, but I have tried on quite a few, And I suppose all of their shoes are Blake construction apart from maybe a few Bologna (but I am not sure), and a few Norvegese boot models.
With regard to quality, I'm quite satisfied with mine, and I suppose Stemar uses more expensive hides and maybe a bit more attention is paid to details, compared to "mainline", so if you are OK with Blake instead of GY, the price through your link is essentially a bargain.
Also please note some inconsistency in sizing between different lasts for Moreschi. I fitted in from 7.5 EU to 9 EU (usually I have size 8), so it might be better to contact Herring about size choice.

Thanks mikel. Long before avatars were a thing and certainly before avatar builders were a thing I found this stock image which resembles me in many ways (although my beard is more of a brown).
