uhoh !

Highland Grain leather is easiest leather to polish. Looks amazing with minimal care.

Thanks for the Barney's PSA, picked up a pair as well.

wow! Cool Nick!

aaaand, highland grain just shot up to #1 on my want list for my next MTO.

   if Skoak follows through this week i'll post a dull ass black pair for contemplation just for grins

  SF may be down on black shoes but i'm betting they gonna shine like new pennies & have texture to boot

   . . . . pun intended

You'll love it. I have it in the Arran boots as well. I will post pictures later.

i quite like black shoes. i fing in many applications they are better than brown for certain fits. look forward to seeing your new shoes.

im sure i will. not sure when it will happen though. ill keep an eye out for your pics.

   after seeing the ones posted i wish i had sense enough to know the last differences when i ordered.  going to lurv them anyway on kn14

you will love them. no regrets. just an opportunity to buy more.

Very nice! I hope I can pay a visit next time I'm in the Midlands.

color seems to vary between the two pairs. mine is even lighter. think i prefer a darker brown on the westbury

i think ill be there end of April

On your Barney's order, what sizing did you trust.. I normally fit a 10.5 UK G&G and on my pair of Sinatra wholecuts its dropped down to 10 UK. Considering the Biarritz loafers and am concerned what size is actually accurate? I remember the debacle with sizing a couple of months ago and am a bit nervous.

Am thinking that I am typically a us 11 and that the drop down to G&G UK sizing should only be a 1/2 size down?

Any thoughts?

My experience with Barney's is that sizes listed on the site have been converted to the corresponding US shoe size and fortunately that was the case here. I'm a 10 so I ordered the 10 off the internet. The Barney's bar code stuck on the box has them listed as a 10 while the printing inside the shoe and on the G&G box mark them as a 9.5E. So, again, the 9.5 GG's are listed as 10 on the site.

 

As for different lasts requiring you to size up or down I have no clue as these are my first pair of G&G. My pair feel fairly true to size. They are a touch long but I'm really a small 10 and it's not an issue were I would consider sizing down. Hope that helps.
