I was hesitant when the burgundy museum calf was almost black but with that new stock I think it's essential that we move forward with a GMTO of model 10080 using it. That shoe will be killer!
I would love this shoe in a dark grey calf. I believe unipair has something like it and it's amazing

Rain last, JR single leather or HAF sole

Or if your guys like museum calf, plum museum + black alligator strap or brown museum + brown alligator strap might be nice too.

Here is an inspiration by John Lobb



What's a HAF sole? Everything else sounds fantastic, including the other color combinations. I'm definitely interested.

I might be in for an alligator strapped jodhpur. Although, I'd like the strap to be in the same color as the uppers, like the JL's pictured above. I ain't really a big fan of contrasting details.

Hello Gents,

I know Rain last gets praised a lot but am I the only one who prefers Forest and Inca lasts?

Forest last is my favourite last and if we can do chocolate or dark brown Chelsea it would be great.

I had 2 pairs on Forest. My shell pair fit extremely tight and my blucher pair fit extremely loose. I cant seem to get it to fit me well and I think for a slightly rounded toe the Soller looks better

I have both forest shoes and balmorals and I think the forest last makes for a better boot style then shoe. Just my opinion of course.

I 100% agree with this. I have a pair of bal boots on the Forest which I love, but I don't like the asthetics on a dress shoe.

A chelsea on the forest sounds interesting, I'd love to see a picture of that if somebody has the model.

Another idea that I have is the following (same version as Epaulet made)

Oscar last, Natural Kudu antelope leather jumper boots with flat welt and combo of commando and leather sole

Interesting comments. I have a snuff suede semi brogue and a Loden suede PTB on the Forest last that I like quite a bit.

snuff suede semi brogues from Steve is one of the best I ever had. Extremely comfortable with some degree of sleekness. Forest last shape works amazing with pair of denim or trousers.


Now, let's get natural Kudu jumpers GMTO on the road! :nodding:
