@NAMOR I think it's the best last I've seen from any maker. Sublime.

Speaking of MH71, I love it. I was concerned with the narrow talk, but the UK E is perfect (same as my EG sizing / up a half from Rain). Awesome leather quality.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

What color?

 

[NAMOR]

looks like vintage pine

@sacafotos, i agree!

I have a vpine and vchestnut and they are pretty close; the former just has a more mustard background... it's hard to keep the colors true so I go with a darker polish with the vchestnut.

The Mitchell is just about the best-looking wingtip design I've seen. Absolutely love it.

Aaah, looks like the vintage chestnut Mitchell from SkoAB. The first G&G I fell in love with unfortunately they never had them in my size.

Does G&G accept older G&G shoes for the patina service...or is it only on new shoes?

 

[bengal-stripe]

I believe so

But there might be limits what can be done with your existing shoes, depending on the leather used and it's colour.

Contact Thomas Brunswick at the G&G shop and discuss what he can (or cannot) do.

Anyone planning on seeing GG for their NY trunk show later this month? I don't think i'll be ordering anything, but i will be making a trip to thank Dean & GG for all of their efforts.

I know Skaoktiebolaget is having their GG thunk show tomorrow, so if anyone is going please post some pics...

I am actually thinking about it. I have a pair of Burnham in very light color and they may need refurbishing. If send them in for refurbishing I would be interested in patina service but it would be the best if Dean see these shoes and tell me if and what can be done.

I sent in my Fairbanks in deco maple calf for the patina service:

Tony said the palette was pretty unlimited for a colour that light - I chose a colour similar to the 4th from the left:

Can't wait to see how they turn out!
