Promised some pictures of my bespoke G&G's

At first fitting did they look like this:



Daniel went back and worked some more and sent me below picture last night.

They looked like this before final touch:




Received another picture today... After magic touch from Tony:




I think they look amazing... Shipped today.. Can't wait to try them on again.

If you guys want... I can post some more pictures showing the opening ceremony

I am located in california, so i guess NYC is no go. As far as the website you provided me, who is "Nich".

Thanks!

Question for folks. On the Barneys website, it lists G&G sizes as, for example, UK 7.5/US 8.5. Obviously that's not the case since it's in my experience UK 7.5/US 8.0 in reality. Do you know which size holds when you're ordering on the site? I ordered a pair that said US 9.5 and I'm hoping that the are in fact UK 9.0/US 9.5, but I'm not sure.

Finally, I have a pair of Savoys in Racing Green in UK 8.5/US 9.0. They don't quite fit me, if anyone is interested in them for $650 all in, let me know. They are BNIB with polishing cloth and shoe bags.

Just one question, what's the best way to polish a shoe with such a beautiful antique finish? just natural wax? I assume any coloured products would ruin/cover that amazing finish!

dont know if they changed it, there was a post about some kind of change, but my order, and a bunch of other, arrived half size smaller even though the website said full size. you should be fine.

Oh that is unknown to me. From what I understand though is it a polish done with enourmous speed (read machine) that actually burns the leather. I can be totally wrong here, but I can ask them
