bsarosi submitted a new classified:

Gaziano & Girling Adelaide Oxford - Gable on TG73

For sale is a used pair of GG Gables. These are a size 9/9.5E on the TG73 last. As the photos show, they’ve been worn and show discoloration at the creasing and on the sides of the shoes. These would be a great custom dye/patina project. I’ve priced them low due to their condition but I’d say they still have lots of life left. Price includes CONUS shipping; PM for international shipping. Shoes come with dust bags but no original box.

I darkened them with was/polish but they creased and the original color showed through where the creasing occurred. And the sides are a result of knocking the shoes against my desk chair and additional creasing.

My recommendation would be to strip them down and re-dye/patina them. I’ve got too many pairs of shoes and moving so I decided to see if anyone wants to take on a little project.

Gotcha. I would gladly take them, since I think they are my size but sadly, don't have access to the dyes to grab this project. ?

Interestingly, I saw this posting as I was stripping and dyeing a pair of John Lobb's
(for the 1st time). Highly recommend it, wasn't hard and they came out really really well.
I went from blonde to dark brown.
