Nope, a reflection of glossy gleaming Horween shell.

So I don't go reposting the same shoes over and over again, I will hold back until my next Bespoke Pair are sent to me, hopefully within 12 weeks.

Plus post my soon to arrive MTO's

I'm currently testing with more exotic leathers.. should be getting in partial alligator G&G's later this week!

The Decos in stingray are about £300 more than regular Decos. Alligator Decos are about £2750 more than calf.

Exotics are a man's best friend:

Wait... so if I like a model that costs say $900, if I want them in stingray it would be $1200? Can anyone else confirm or deny?

Stingray Deco shoes cost just under £1,300.00 for non EU countries (+20% VAT for Europe)

It's worth noting that not all styles can be made from Stingtay because it's a dificult material to stitch and work with. The Cooper is the style G&G would reccommend or in their non Deco shoes the Sinatra. Both of which are wholecut's.

Alligator Deco shoes cost £3,333.00 for non EU countries (+20% VAT for Europe)

Wow, thats actually a lot less than I thought. Im assuming thats £1300 flat, not 20% off of that for shipping to USA?

Whats the model that Leaves posted a couple of replies up, the Sinatra?

Those are bespoke. But the stingray wholecut is similar to the Sinatra or Deco Cooper.

True--Decos are ~£1200 including VAT.
