Yea I know. this is a great boot! I need a pair of jodhpurs eventually and probably can't think if a better one than EG unless anyone else can convince me otherwise.

This is the one I always refer to.

I didn't know you had a speed master too! You need to list a pic of the watches you have and to keep everyone else from booting you here too, you should post each watch with your favorite shoe/boot combination.

I did post them all once in the watch thread. I'm a pretty big SS watch freak.

I really want... but I'm exercising self control... the exchange rate is crazy though...


Is it even better than before? That makes me want to get more than just my bonafe boots. I want to yet I don't want to get another pair of EGs right now because of that great rate but I have another pair of shoes already in the way.

I would love to try a pair of GGs too just to be fair. You guys know what I mean. The problem is getting me a last to fit. They want me to just have a last made but I need to see them in person to have that done. I think they come to NYC in March or April but I don't know if I will have time to get up there unless it is on a weekend.

Agreed. That is my favorite if all time. I remember you showing me that ins a while back. jL? If so then it is a no go because they said I would only be bespoke with them. Maybe i could get EG to do one like that for me.

Then maybe you can just PM me with the pics to not drive everyone here crazy. Or just do it with the shoes/boots

EG, G&G and Bonafé can all do that, easy peasy.

I believe it is JL for LS.


Yea I knew for LeatherSoul by the background but it just looked more John Lobb in style. Maybe EG could do one though. I love the gator for the strap.

Yes. EG and Gg are at the lowest prices they've ever been in the past year. Even lower than they were before the price increases.

Great than I probably will do that after my EB chukka order that I am working on with Gabriel now. He is checking in the last situation for me from bonafe and then I'm ready to order it.

I have that plus another shoe from another maker in the works so I am waiting for those to be paid for before my Jodhpurs. At least I will have time to work in the Bonafe for size first to decide in which brand for the Jodhpurs.

That pair on the way is unfortunately much more than any of my other pairs so that one really has me taking a hit.

I can't do a GMTO with my size and narrow width for GG,EG or EB anyway. :violin:

This one which you've seen before.




Not sure if you've seen this or not.




White Dials I think are bit harder to match. But this is how I decided to go with this one.



Then I chose this route for this one.




This one is an old one but a favorite of mine. I think the little bit of Red in this dial goes real well with Zug.




Green was way to easy for me, although when my latest pair of Green Malverns come out I may have to rematch the watch with the EGs instead.




I think this one goes with red best, and I tend to wear it with boots more often, But for now.




Black on Black typically and generally with boots. However I'm having difficulty finding the pairing. But this is one of my favorite pictures, so screw it.
