I am probably one of the biggest EG supporters out there, with that said the Thorpe may be the superior of the Nevis.

Well, I'd have to wholeheartedly agree with that statement.

They've done hatch grain before though. Epaulet did a boot not too long ago:

I would be interested in another run of that boot in some hatch grain color.

Hey @Leaves can you update us, does Carmina dabble in hatch grain anymore?


Oh, I know they do, but I'm pretty sure that was for full store run, not just 6 orders. But if you can get them to do it, it would be great. Would love it to be an option on future GMTOs


Not to put words in Patrik's mouth but I know there were some concerns about the finish of the hatch grain and also Patrik I believe has said he wasn't too impressed himself with the hatch grain.

I ordered the Epualet pair in the instagram link and mistakenly received the pair below. I believe this burnished pair was part of a GMTO but for some reason went unclaimed.

Congrats, nice boots! especially like the purple lining.

Regarding the G&G and EG price increases, does the percentage increase apply to the MTO fee? Or just the shoe cost, itself?

Sorry if I missed this explanation.

I believe is all things will increase

There is currently an ongoing GMTO for a polo brown suede balmoral boot in Robert last but after seeing RogerP's dark brown suede balmoral boot in Robert last, I would like to ask if there would be enough interest to have a separate GMTO for this make up.

Specs
Balmoral boot in Robert last
Dark brown suede
Flat welt
Single Dainite or Tomir

It's this boot

We've had a huge amount of orders over the weekend and we're closed on Sunday's so we're a bit behind on shipping out but we're working as fast as we can with dispatching these.

I would be interested in repeat of these if Carmina is willing to work with hatch grain leather again. @Leaves or @GabrielOB can you check with Carmina on availability of hatch grain leather?

A recap on the GMTO proposal for a Carmina Split toe derby in model 80189 on Soller last or Rain (if Carmina is willing to do this)

Interested people are:

1- Me in either Brown or Burgundy plain calf or hatchgrain,
2- A friend of mine in either Brown or Burgundy plain calf or hatchgrain,
3- @Pbayvip in either Brown or Burgundy plain calf or hatchgrain,
4- @Fred G. Unn in either Brown or Burgundy plain calf or hatchgrain,
5- @cowsgomoomoo in either Brown or Burgundy plain calf or hatchgrain,
6- @bamgrinus in Burgundy
7- @urban in Brown
8- @IGotId in Brown
9- @New Shoes1 only if made on the Rain last in Burgundy

to be confirmed:

10- @Jazzmenco
11- @mcl911
12- @ErikW

Numbers seem good, I will contact @Leaves to see how to proceed in confirming with Carmina which options are available and then inform all the interested people.
Probably I will do this with private messages in order not to "pollute" this thread.
Gents, thanks to you all for your interest!
