I would be quite interested in the Calway in that leather.

Does anyone remember how far back the Calway prototype was posted?

I am definitely interested in using the mock Russian calf on the new Calway boot. That would be fantastic if you can have that available.

As far as QC goes, I think everyone understands that mistakes happen. Your willingness to resolve the issues are appreciated by most, if not all. Also, your interaction with this group is incredible. We are definitely spoiled!

I would definitely be interested in the Calway with this leather.

 

[jischwar]

I would be as well.

Good afternoon,

Firstly, thank you for your patience. Our team is now up and running after the website's launch. We hope you enjoy the new content and feel as excited as we do with the new sections.

As you know, we always strive to improve both in quality and service. We are very sorry for any orders you might have received with faults. Our customer service team will do their best to help and offer solutions.

If anyone is interested, we can follow up on private GMTO, new models, special leathers... We have received many requests for our mock Russian calf. This leather is temporarily exclusive for Kirby's chukka boots. However, once this group closes if there is interest we might stock up on this leather. By the way, it is not from Horween but rather J FJ Baker in England.

You might also be curious about the new boot model members votes for. Our artisans are currently grading sizes and the model should be ready soon. We will continue to update you with more details too.



Green Horween shell looks great, the depth of colour is fantastic. What are the general thoughts on green shell?

That’s awesome, I would love to do a short jumper boot in the Baker Russian calf if you eventually stock up. Glad to have you back, love the new site. I know how much goes into a site launch so I’m sure you’re all relieved to have it live.

I am definitely looking forward for the Calway, I am assuming it will be released as a customizable MTO for its first run. How are you guys going to spec yours? I am thinking Navy Suede Shaft + Navy Museum on Oscar + JR soles.

 

[bamgrinus]

Does Carmina have a light colored museum? Something like darker Russian calf over gold museum on Forest would look pretty nice.

Is anyone here participating in the Hanger Project Chukka GMTO and know when it closes?

 

[weriker]

I‘m actually interested in a boot in the ‚Calway‘ style and that leather too.

Sara, you all are worth the wait.

....as for the query regarding green shell; I love my Carmina green shell brogue boots. Also, had I not indulged in an obscene amount of shoes the last 18 months, (and trust me it was truly obscene), I would have already ordered the boots we talked about in the hand painted green. This hand painted green boot is now placed in the special place I reserve what are for me personally, truly heart stopping boots. It’s on my list of must haves!

I ordered it, and got an e-mail from HP saying it closes Saturday the 29th of February.

I love green shell (and other leathers and fabrics) as well, but I prefer the olive color Carmina hand paints over Horween's "botttle" blue-green.

So I have a few more days to decide if I want the Chukka or hold off for a potential Calway...

Yeah, I really did not want to purchase any more shoes this year. But, this leather is just amazing. I have the C&J Radnor, which utilizes the leather. When l got the Radnor back in 2017, I knew if it was ever available on any other boot, I’d be in. Because of the material it was just something I couldn’t pass on.
