I fell in love with these on the Carmina site but they were a little too rich for my blood. About a year later they popped up on eBay for less than half the original price. Perfect condition. Guess it was meant to be.

I think we can all agree the new MTO looks incredible. Was a little surprised to see that the sample in the pic seems to be in amaretto cordovan, yet this isn’t an option for the MTO. Looks a little too light for it to be a lighter shade of Armagnac. Thoughts?

Well, my amaretto and Russian hatchgrain Calway MTO has arrived! Please ignore the super messy table.

Happy to hear! I’ve got a custom pair on the way. Hoping for the same results. Got any pics of yours to share?

Those look like bourbon to me (or even natural). For sure not armagnac and they are much more of a muted and less orangey tone than amaretto. By the way, that makeup appears to be identical to my color 4 makeup from a while ago right down to the last and 270 degree welt.

Thank you! I will try to get some up after work. Good luck with your order!

DHL came today, awesome execution from @Carmina on these. 531 PTB in vison repello on Oscar with double JR soles.

I had a DHL arrival today as well, but that will have to wait.
Until then, I wore these yesterday (pictures in the failing light):

It's always great when you find a pair you've been eyeing appear in the second-hand market. Are your trousers bedcord?

Wow, those boots are really nice, along with the color combo. What's the suede and leather combination?

Thanks! Russian reindeer calf and polo suede.

Why thank you! In fairness, this was a half-batch ago, but I agree Carmina has done well recently.
