Hello Folks

Am pitching here a GMTO that revives what is the 'Peebles' model. This model was coincidentally spotted in a recent post and identified as being a discontinued model.

The GMTO would be for a 'Peebles' in natural/sand hurricane hide, with exposed eyelets and stormwelt, on ridgeway in Last 335. This make-up was done some 6 years ago for the Japanese market in pebble grain versions and in russian grain version. Please view these links to see how the make-up looks on ridgeway soles.

I wanted to go with the olive pebble grain leather as used in the Japan edition above, but this leather is not available anymore and cannot be furnished by C&J for a GMTO, as confirmed.

So am proposing hurricane hide which has newly featured in the C&J line-up. Its an amazing leather, will look fabulous and will age beautifully. The colourway being proposed for the hurricane hide is what Division Road call 'natural' in the pembroke model and what C&J call 'sand' in the coniston model.

The price for a GMTO has been confirmed at £580 with 6 participants OR £550 with 10 participants.

Your responses are invited to gauge if such a GMTO will have any traction.

Thanks all,

C&J offers whisky hatch grain only on their Cavindash loafer… hence why I had to go the MTO route. They unfortunately didn’t have enough for a GMTO otherwise I would have proposed it here. Yes these are on the 375 last. Fit very similar to 325.

Oh man this is tempting. Galway 2 could also be a good use of this leather.

It would be hard to say no to a Galway 2. Such a great boot.
