Gentlemen,
During the last couple of months the idea of the ultimate hardwearing boot in zug grain has been debated intensively, but it has been put to sleep a number of times due to lacking supply of zug grain. However, yesterday I was informed that the good people at Skoaktiebolaget have managed to lay their hands on enough zug (or heather gorse, as Edward Green refer to it) to make 15 boots. Therefore, I'm putting together a GMTO of the beloved Galway model with the following specs:
- Shearling lining
- Veldtschoen construction (to make it water tight)
- Ridgeway soles
- Heather gorse/suede combo
For reference, the Galway would then look something like this:
though the colour of the zug/heather gorse will be more reddish, like this:
However, the suede combo could be negotiated, but at the moment we're at least three people who would prefer not to
The colour of the suede is still undecided, though. Both hawthorne and tobacco have been proposed, but I'm leaning towards mocha myself, which you can see next to the heather gorse below (from left to right: coffee, mocha and mink suede):
I expect the price to be around 8900 SEK, but please note that it hasn't been confirmed yet. What is confirmed, though, is that 25% VAT will be deducted if you're living outside the EU.
Put please share your thoughts about this make up, and don't hesitate to express your interest. After all, there's only zug enough for 15 bots, so I'm counting on placing the order as soon as we're six people.
Cheers,
SKM
