Voting for normal dark Brown!

 

[boringbear]

I’m glad to see this much interest in the fur lined version.

To answer BakedPotatoe's question: I'm 98% certain it's sheep lining but I have not received verification from Carmina yet. It's a natural fiber though, not synthetic.

And yes, the whole vamp and shaft is lined.

It seems like it will be a brown grain version we’re aiming for, the rest of the specs completely the same? Please e-mail [email protected] to put on the "interest list" for this model. No deposit invoices will go out until we have decided the shade of grain.

To summarize this new GMTO project:

• Carmina model 80179 Derby boot
• Color: brown grain (exact shade to be decided)
• Double Commando sole with storm welt
• Soller last
• Fur lined
• Visible eyelets and speed hooks
• Prize: 3040 SEK ex VAT (approx. $450) - 50% deposit required
• Shipping: 300 SEK worldwide (approx. $45)
• Delivery expected : mid-March

Types of grain

Either the lighter "Camel grain" finished to a darker hue, like our Grain Jumpers:


Or the "normal" dark brown grain:


There is also a rougher grain called "karrengrain" that is available in dark brown:


Voting for Camel grain.

 

[Baked Potato]

My vote will also go for the normal dark brown grain.

Mid-march is disgusting, 3 month? even bespoke from Maftei will be ready in 8 weeks.

Anyway, I'm in for the normal dark brown. Should I already send email or let's wait for the consensus?

Leaves said to send him an email indicating the interests so I guess I will do that. Judging from responses received so far we are going with normal dark brown.

Leaves,

Can you offer some sizing guidelines on Soller last?
Does Carmina have a full rubber commando sole or just that leather + rubber combination?

 

[sdolina]

Should we ask for our normal UK size or we should size up for the fur?

 

[GabrielOB]

Baked Potato,
Maybe Leaves or Gabriel can answer that question but I think the time frame is 12-16 weeks.

Yes, delivery time is about 12 weeks when the ordered is placed and sent to Carmina

 

[GabrielOB]

Leaves,

Soller is a wide fitting last with a rounded toe. It has a quite high instep and fits similar to Rain, which also is a wide fitting last from Carmina. I would go for the same size in Soller as in Rain.

 

[GabrielOB]

I would go for your normal size since Carmina compensate with the fur lining and the fit is similar to the size you normally wear.

Soller is a wide fitting last with a rounded toe. It has a quite high instep and fits similar to Rain, which also is a wide fitting last from Carmina. I would go for the same size in Soller as in Rain.

My understanding is that soller is wide-fitting, but rain is not wide-fitting. Rain is a medium-fitting last (akin to a "D" width in US sizing). That is why, it is my understanding, that Carmina offers a "wide" fitting in the rain last in addition to the usual, normal fitting of the rain last.

I mention this here because I am considering joining this MTO if it is in camel grain. But if I am wrong about soller being materially wider than the rain last and, in fact, the two lasts are similar widths, then I am out: in that case, soller will be too narrow for me.

 

[Shouldaville]

Just received mine...very nice. I can confirm my Rain size worked fine. Maybe a bit snug out of the box with a medium/thin sock, but will be perfect with a little wear.

Hi,
I tried the boot on in the store today. Also I can confirm that my normal Rain size fit me well in the boot.
A very nice boot, even though it is too light in color for my taste in a real winter boot.
I would have bought it if it were in a darker color, but I'll pass on the MTO due to delivery in March.
