question - has anyone experienced any variation in GG sizing across the same last? i got a pair of TG73 and it seems to be a half size bigger than others i have tried on. i'm pretty sure i'm not confused on UK vs US sizing either

Nice shoes! How's the fit? Any close shots of the sole waist stitching?

No experience besides the toe box volume variations.

Edit...read your post wrong. No i have tried several models in the sam last and no variation.
Warning: wrong answear :D (Click to show)

Yes i have. I wear UK7.5 in GG06 and MH71 and UK8 in DG70 and TG73. I own shoes in DG70 and MH73 and have tried the other lasts including UK7.5 F in DG70. That didn´t work at all, my feet are E width.

congratulations. you've done an awesome job there. particularly like that you chose toeNAILS instead of taps.

one of the best looking pair ever especially having seen your progress pics
