thro i would save a little longer and get the deco - why settle for second best?


this is tempting, but i dont think it will happen right now. spoo wont let me ;)

if the choice was mine i prefer the westminsters over the Up

Stitchy, Westminster all the way.


between you guys, and a pm from rss, and a lot of ogling, it looks like im leaning toward the westminster. (but i really like the uppingham, too bad i cant have both :( )

now i have to actually see if i can pull ze trigger, tis a lot of scrach fo teh stitcheroo, and make sure my wife never discovers what i paid for them.

ill update ya'll great helpers if i get a pair :)

thanks again!

Of the two I think the Westminster would be my preference as well. I like the whole long wing oxford sort of feel of it.

Come on luk - don't be second besting any other GGs after the deco line, you know they are not second best, just different....

i am not second besting anything - otherwise i'd have said get bespokes hahaha

i was just getting the impression that stitchy was keen on some 2 eyelets, i hate the uppingham design but from G&G that piggy deco is sweet, and just a nicer option, but if stitchy is only giving himself the choice of westie or ups then westie all the way

thro i would be tempted more by the deco than the other 2

fritzl, in those pictures my pair is brand new and has no need for shoe trees yet. I just left them out of the pictures, I do have them.


Chacun à son goût

If you already have Crispins and Vasses, you must give G&G a chance. The price range is very similar, lasts and designs are the biggest difference.


i don't have them. i just said, i feel this of them. i have something more individual, hence better for me.

i don't see g&g rtw for me. there's no model which cries at me.
