Thank you justin.

Yes your opinion is more safety but I want to have a more playful one at this moment, I have got a lot of relatively safe shoe in dark colour. However, for those who want to have a versatile one should follow you.


If you really want something green or a specific mto and it doesn't get traction within a few days I'd probably just place a single mto, saves you the hassle of trying to find people and you get 100% what you want

Sorry all, I guess I was just out of it this morning (caffeine deficient) but the Carmina factory summer closure does not start until late July (to late August) Quick Update on our MTOs! # 1. Loden Suede Chukka (THREE EYELET) - just need one more and we are good to go! - Soller Last (just like the picture below) - 3 Eyelet (opposed to 2 eyelet picture below) - Tomir Sole (half rubber and half leather) # 2. Cognac Shell (Same as Alden Cigar Shell) PTB in Detroit Last - unconfirmed yet but possibly 4 interests :) - Detroit Last PTB (pictured below) - Sole: TBA # 3. Saddle Shell Frankenstitch Oscar Jumper boots - 3 confirmed interests # 4. Navy Shell Wholecut - 4 interests Cheers everyone & have yet another great week!
For the saddle shell boots, I saw that the sole is TBA; are the rest of the specs the same as Skoaktiebolaget's version. Don't want to derail things if it's already decided, but are the eyelets up for discussion?

I would prefer dainite sole and eyelets is up to majority rule. I hate eyelets all the way up and i hate speedhooks because they always rip laces. I will live with either or, probably prefer speedhooks for easy putting on in the morning.

The number of eyelets cannot be changed but if you are referring to whether they will feature speedhooks or not, we can certainly go with majority vote on this :)

1. Navy Shell Wholecut in Rain Last (extra wide, or narrow width option avail) - now we have 5 interested and just need one more!


2. saddle shell tanker boots (soller last) - we had quite a few inquiries for this shoes in the past, only 2 confirmed interest as of now. do let me know if you would like to join!



3. saddle shell frankenstitch boots (oscar last) - 3 interests

Now I've also heard of the shell shortage rumors floating around for sometime now,
I haven't received a definite word on the situation yet. I believe Carmina has some colors still in stock and some out.
I will update you gents more on that situation as soon as I hear back!

Steve,

Is the burgundy full brogue wingtip a new arrival or pre-order? And what's the cost on that one either way? Is the full size range available (as well as some pics???)

Thanks!

Steve,

Once again you and Carmina are trying to get between me and my wallet! Let me give it a think.

I would be up for that boot in navy shell. I like it in the brown suede with the contrasting stitching too.
