Not to disrupt the MTO and I certainly won't rock the boat - BUT . . . for the next cordovan MTO boots, can we collectively consider the 379 last? It is C&J's absolute best last. The lines, proportions, and dimensions are absolute perfection.
Count me in!

Just sent him an email. Thanks again.
Anytime! I am glad we were able to close this GMTO within SF

Hey guys, I just wanted to follow up on the Galway specifications.

I just got off the phone with Basil from C&J at 69 Jermyn Street. The DB Cordovan Galway boots will have exposed/metal eyelets and speed hooks. Exactly how I have setup in the pictures.

Also, just want to clarify, in the spreadsheet I used sample pictures of the Gianni boots as an example (5 sets exposed/metal eyelets and 4 sets of speed hooks). The Galway boots have 4 exposed/metal eyelets and 4 sets of speed hooks. Exactly as pictured here (but with Dainite soles instead of leather):

Ok, I am very jealous haha. Your boots are gorgeous, sir! Can you please share any more pictures? This will help the people decide if they’re on the fence.

What a killer boot! ?
Thanks. Sorry man that’s the only pic I’ve got.

It is going to be a stunning make-up! Don't miss out!

If you're interested please give Basil (from C&J at 69 Jermyn Street) a call or email to see if there are any spots available, and if so you're welcome to join!!!

At this point, we will be treating it on a "first come first serve" basis. I say that because sometimes people get the "cold feet" and drop out, so I don't want to risk our GMTO getting held up because those particular individuals. I have seen it happen in other GMTOs and it's frustrating for everyone else that is serious about placing their order.

So by all means. If you decide to join, please contact Basil for availability. Store contact info:

Yah, I know the deal... I'll have to give it some thought. Few big shoe purchases in the last month and already trying to offload some pairs to free up space. This purchase would require more of the same. Appreciate your organizing this.

Anytime man!

I will definitely push for a Whisky Cordovan Galway GMTO in the future. I know there’s one there, but it looks dead with a bunch of empty spots ?

I need a blonde Galway to complement by brunette Galway girl (Ed Sheeran reference) ?

If only it wasn’t on Danite sole. I would be all in. I just cant get use to danite.
Yeah, I originally wanted leather as well, but the majority wanted Dainite. But that’s no big deal, when I refurbish them they’re definitely getting the leather sole treatment. No big deal ?

Confirmed and paid, baby. Can't wait!
Nice! Yeah Basil told me there was a big surge in demand. Up to 15 people (in total for this GMTO) have contacted the store showing interest in the DB Cordovan Galway. So whomever is interested, needs to make moves NOW or they will miss out.

For anyone waiting on Whiskey Galway II GMTO, I’m willing to part with mine at current cost. 6.5E which translates to 8 brannock for me but YMMV. Dainite sole. Feel free to delete if inappropriate.

OMG!!! They’re beautiful!!! Definitely the next GMTO ?

I would love to take them from your hands, but unfortunately, I am a UK8E for the 325 last ?
