Would anyone be down for a light grey suede penny loafer/ full strap?

These great looking! I love the contrast of darker suede abd welt with light sole I have a pair in similar fashion, but different

What last? And who was the GMTO through?

Really stunning.

Detroit last. Ordered through Steve of Gentlemen's Footwear. They really are an amazing pair - really glad with how they turned out!

It's worth noting that Skoaktiebolaget, another Carmina stockist, has some cognac shell PTBs on the Detroit last in stock at present:

This is supposed to be the same shade as the PTBs posted, correct? They look great. Thanks for the heads up.

excuse the possible redundancy in this question, as I'm new to this thread lol

Does Carmina offer a brown shell SW boot? Normally an Alden guy, but looking to stretch out a bit where needed.

thanks in advance!

In the past, Carmina have offered quite a few different boots, including some shortwing boots, as "group made to order" (GMTO) shoes through various vendors including Gentlemen's Footwear, Skoaktiebolaget and Epaulet NY and probably others. I'm not sure if any such GMTOs are in progress at present.

Carmina also has its own webstore where you can order shoes and there's one shortwing boot in the store at present:

It's from the Armoury website. They called it "brown calfskin" - perhaps it is the same. Would you mind PM'ing a pic of yours so I can see the color?

If it in reality is as dark as the Ellison, I might go with that bc I prefer that last as the toebox on the Rain is a bit wide for my liking.

I've tried both of them on recently and the Ellison is definitely darker. Here's a side by side comparison pic in similar lighting conditions.

I bought this pair of derby yesterday at a good sale price. My first pair of Carmina, Simpson last:
