@Carmina, I am in for a pair of boots in amaretto shell cordovan.

Let’s get a list going.

Amaretto shell cordovan SF GMTO
1. @cc808314 - 1 x boots
2. @up1911fan -boots.

3. @flylikeneagle Amaretto boots

Prices for these style forum GMTO's would be the same as the pairs in our collection (ie. no custom fee), however we can only apply this to the members of the group if we are able to complete the group.

I would be interested in a plain toe blucher in black shell cordovan (like model 531) with Dainite sole, no storm welt. This would be a versatile and stylish shoe. Since I would be a new customer I do not know about size (I have 7 with British made shoes) and last (maybe Detroit).

Should be $950 for boots, $750 for shoes.

Thanks JS

Interested in a pair of double monks, how did you guys get your fit? Im interested in a simpson last. When trying on at the store, should the belt be buckled or not?

I nailed down my fit by owning a bunch of Carminas. I was fitted in a Carmina store once, but more about trial and error. If you have any Allen Edmonds shoes for comparison I can try to help.

Yes, when trying on the belt should be buckled. You probably want the first or second hole to feel good in the store - if the third one fits now it may be too loose after the footbed settles.

@Carmina If I understand you correctly, you’ll make me a Jodhpur in the Amaretto Shell so long as there are 12 of us ordering something. So, fellas I’m in whom ever is taking names. Please put me down for an Amaretto Shell Jodhpur. I would like it on the rain last, however I’ll need UK8.5 in whatever Carmina’s equivalent to a US E would be. I need it just a tad wider than the standard rain.

They don’t do shell jodhpurs or Chelsea’s anymore

I’m in for a longwing or maybe Wholecut oxford. Not sure which. In for something though

Not saying you’re wrong, but unless you are part of their team I’d love to hear that from @Carmina.

Gents,

I have gone ahead and created a basic spreadsheet to track the Amaretto requests. If you are interested in the other leftover leathers that @Carmina mentioned, please feel free to add a different tab.

Please add you name to the list if interested. If you want more than one pair, please add two rows.

Let me know if you have difficulty with updating the file.

I have added:
@cc808314
@up1911fan
@flylikeneagle
@p1yhRZks
