Crockett & Jones MTO Central

[orionz06]

it is pity we didn’t get any Conistons going lately. Is there still no taste for any? Lately it is all about Brogues.
I would be down also for some kind of 5 eyelet derbies or…
Did C&J ever offer “shoe” version of their Galway boots? Would be down for that with 5 eyelets…

I want a natural CXL cap toe Coniston with speed hooks.

I for unknown reasons decided I needed to stop buying boots, because I had more than enough, and pulled out of the GMTO. A thought I later had to admit was folly.

The olive pebble grain no longer stocked by C&J.
But dark brown pebble grain or tan scotch grain or natural hurricane hide are all available options. This GMTO idea for a Peebles didnt get any interest when i floated it few months ago. Hence why i didnt create a spreadsheet. Thats 2 people interested it seems. Anyone else? Proposal below:

I would be down for scotch grain leather for Peebles model. Probably leaning more to dark brown one.
Would it be possible to do Veldtschoen construction for this one instead of storm welt? I believe it would be closer to a roots of this shoe more. Also, how does 335 fit compared to 228 last? I have very narrow feet with fallen arches and low instep. I need to wear super thick socks and inserts to have 228 even remotely work. I would like to be able to wear derbies with thin socksin summer...

I have gotten the email from Alex - about the navy cordovan Coniston moving forward. I don’t think we have 6 people, but if you’re interested, it might be a good time to jump in.

Navy is not interesting color for me unfortunately. I am fairly conservative with color pallete in my wardrobe. But thank you for letting me know.

Not keen on veldtschoen for this potential GMTO. because it makes it too similar to a Cairngorm from cheaney which i have already (and which costs much less). I take the 335 in my regular size and dont find that it runs large in anyway or is any more spacious in the toe box than a 325. Cant compare it to 228 which ive never worn.

I’m trying to get as many pairs in this leather as I can, until my shoe room stinks from the smell of it.

They certainly are odoriferous.

Did you all get the payment link for the Islay Russian calf gmto? I’m still waiting for mine.

It's just one pair and they overpower all my other boots, i've been considering finding them a different place with more ventilation..

Didn’t know that make-up exist! What are you willing to change on that make-up?

I am ok with 'dark brown' pebble grain, 'natural' hurricane hide, or 'tan' scotch grain. Ridgeway is preffered or Dainite is ok too. Exposed eyelets and 335 are a must.

But hey, i haven't even created a proposal or GMTO sheet yet. Neither have i got any copyright on the concept. So feel free to take ownership of it and propose a different variant if you like.
