Are the recessed metal toe taps added by SKOAKTIEBOLAGET or Carmina?

I will be in if the Enzo Bonafe burgundy beauty is used on a St.James or St. James II style GMTO

Vintage Cherry? What I have some concern is that the use of crust leather & the unreasonable high price for benchgrade MTO, yea the leather quality is good but I think I would only consider Deco grade MTO after their recent price raise

You no like the crust?! The Deco MTO prices are even more expensive you know, and in any case, it's GMTO (sans MTO charge). If you can consider buying GG at RTW prices, then why not GMTO?

I know everyone loves their Enzo, Carmina, EG GMTOs, but how about some GG love over here? :satisfied:

As a caveat, i don't know if GG foregoes their "same width" rule once we go past a certain GMTO amount, just like EG does. Otherwise, damn... :embar:

No I like the leather G&G uses, I have an oxford in Deco Green calf but their are difficult to take care of (actually so all crust leather does), no renovateur no reno mat.

However let's see what will happen...if their agree to have Deco last (just the last not handgrade level) at general RTW price I may be tempted

Same as burgundy beauty minus all brogueing/perforations EXCEPT for a perforated captoe. Think GG Cambridge.
Think "burgundy business beauties".
