That looks like the right one, although I've never seen it called tan before. I think that's a mistake, because tan usually refers to a much lighter colour. Usually it's called tobacco brown or havana brown.

Probably a translation error. If you switch to French on that website, the name of the colour is Havane, which is tobacco brown.

My favourite last belongs to a reject bespoke I picked up last year. The pronounced angulation and gentle chisel are very pleasing, and they fit almost perfectly. The trees are stamped with the bespeaker's name, which I won't divulge online. I've never had the chance to compliment him on the shape of his feet!

Hugo Boss?

Hello,

I am thinking of buying my first pair of GG, but I am not sure about the sizing,

I wear a 6 uk in 1966 last herring/AS,
and 6 uk in jfitzpatrick aka the shoe snob.

Should I go for 6 uk with GG ? I was thinking of getting a deco lasted gg shoe.

Thank you !!

I think it's fabulous that you've decided that G&G is the next shoemaker that you've decided to go with. It just doesn't get much better. However to go with probably their sleekest Last without any prior experience with G&G Lasts or the ability to try on their Deco Last in person is probably the riskiest decision you could make especially given how much these shoes cost. Good luck.

wow, such prompt and useful responses, thank you very much gentlemen.

Now it comes down to which one of these I will choose:

Mitchel in midnight blue calf - Deco Last
st james II cherry calf - TG73 Last
Wigmore boots in vintage rioja - TG73 Last

Can't make up my mind !

All excellent choices.
My first choice would be St James II in Cherry calf as it's a classic and most popular G&G shoe then Wigmore boots followed by Deco Mitchell.

New MTO G&G shoes are here. They have come out outstanding and it's hard for anyone to beat the quality/finish/design/sleekness of G&G shoes and not even St. Crispins.
I am sure lot of people would disagree with that and it's to each his own.
Below are the pics of the two recent MTO's plus the Patinaned Sinatra as well I manage to take few pics today.

G&G Gables in Dark blue patina and red lining (Square Decolast)

G&G Vintage Cedar and Mink Suede Oakham (Square Decolast)

G&G Sinatras in Coronation Red Patina (Deco last)

Love all three of those. The deco last is hard to beat imo
