Ah for the Decurion II from AM (as part of this particular GMTO).

I'm not sure on sizing as have never bought AM so fingers crossed these don't have to go straight for sale!

Ok just got my DHL notification as well, just got my lazyman from yeossal as well, almost feel like Christmas!

Hi @ericgereghty @AngelK @bsarosi @Chestercheng @NJE66

I decide to move the proposed Decanus 2 (a modified Decurion) GMTO to this thread.

Just a recap of the proposed specs:
Model - modified Decurion without captoe
Last - Chisel 2 (this is the most preferred)
Color - proposed colors are melograno, noce di benevento, ebony or antiqued chestnut
Construction - Argentum Welted. HW may be an option with an upcharge. I am checking with Antonio on this

With regards to the upcharge on the MTO, the price will be in around 565 euro (without VAT) and 690 euro (with VAT). This is because it is a balmoral so longer vamp. But the price is lower than the single MTO price quoted in his webshop.

The final makeup would look like this (courtesy of Yohei's IG)


Some pics of the proposed colors
1. Melograno


2. Noce Di Benevento


3. Ebony


4. Chestnut


I think Melograno or Noce would be great colors for this makeup.

Let me know if you are confirmed in and do spread the word!

@GYWFan hey man. Adding you to this so you can decide whether you wanna be part of this GMTO

 

[GYWFan]

Thanks - am interested. I'd be happy with either Melograno or Noce di Benevento, but leaning more towards the Melograno!

Dear All,

Any interest in a Tacticius GMTO?

I have never done this before but am happy to try.

I am thinking of;

• Hawksbill last (which seems to fit most folk well)
• handwelted or Argentum
• box calf in aglianico finish like the one below

All guidance would be most gratefully received

Regards

Isn’t this the principle model?

I’d be interested in the model shown in the photo, hawkbill last for me, I have a hawksbill last in progress with Antonio, I think I should be able to utilize it. Does anyone know?

 

[clee1982]

didn't know hawksbill is the most accomodating, I only have experience with Chisel 2 (take 9E) and softsquare (take 9F), think I can probably take 9E in the usual round last, thought I heard someone said hawksbill runs a bit tighter than the round last?

Hi @GYWFan @Chestercheng @ericgereghty @bsarosi @NJE66 @AngelK

Good day gents. I would like to move this GMTO forward.
As of now, @Chestercheng @GYWFan @bsarosi @AngelK and 2 others including myself are confirmed in. That makes 6.

@NJE66, @ericgereghty would you be keen to be involved?

Again, the specs for this make up are%
Model - Decanus 2 (a modified Decurion without captoe)
Last - Chisel 2
Construction - argentum welted. HW available at 150 euros upcharge

As for color, there are 3 persons voted for melograno. It is a beautiful brown. In the words of someone who have a pair in this color, it is one of the best brown ever.
Would you be agreeable for melograno? Or do any of you have other suggestions? We can do a vote.

Let me know if you have other queries. Looking at launching this by end Oct. This GMTO is going to happen fellas

 

[Complete Novice]

Thanks for your useful comments guys!

Apologies, I think my first suggestion was quite poorly worded, let me try again;

• if you want Principes Hawksbill, in aglianico oxyblood finish, they are available on sale in his webshop right now. Not in my size unfortunately .....
• Hawksbill last fits me better than other lasts but that may not be true for everyone

The model I am proposing to GMTO is this one, Tacticius wholecut spiral;

The finish I am proposing is this one, aglianico oxyblood;

which I think is the same or similar to what is now called Antiqued Burgundy in his leather choices;

Open to alternative suggestions, all guidance most gratefully received .....
