View attachment 1793591
Last Call!! It looks like we’ve reached the minimum participants necessary to proceed to production for the Green Waxed Roughout Suede Coniston GMTO, so providing a last-chance notice to join for anyone who was on the fence or hadn’t been following the developments - please make your interest known, or forever kick yourself at the start of boot season that you didn’t get in on this order (or just… run another GMTO, I guess); specs are below:

- Style: Coniston
- Last: 325
- Material: Waxed Roughout Suede (C.F. Stead)
- Colour: Green
- Welt: Dark Brown Leather Notched Stormwelt
- Sole Unit: Ridgeway
- Midsole: Dark Brown Leather
- Edge Colour: Dark Brown
- Eyelets/Speedhooks: 4 exposed eyes, 4 hooks, Antique Brass
- Width: E
- Pull Tab: No
- Price: 490 GBP (408.33 GBP ex-VAT)
Looks like we’re going to close out this GMTO after the weekend, so please sign up on the Google sheet and/or let me know if you’re interested by Sunday evening, as the participant list will be sent to C&J on Monday…

I’m glad we were able to let a few more people join in before this heads to production, but if you’re thinking about it, this is the last call - thanks!

Snagged that last spot! Tell Basil and the gang to start production.

Wow, if no one drops out, we closed out the GMTO with 12 participants relatively quickly.
For sure! Amazing the momentum we picked up at the end - can’t wait for these boots!!

Just a reminder for everyone to follow-up on the instructions sent via PM so we can get these in production (greenlit by Jonathan Jones himself!)…

I wish that was true! Needless to say, I am pretty stoked about this edition. Hope to bag a pair when they are released. Anyone know how sales of C&J limited editions work?

As for the proposal, I actually changed the spec in the Google docs from Dark Brown to Whisky in the hope it would attract more interest, but so far it hasn't.

Just heard from Lauren that she expects to receive the first pairs of the J&FJ Baker’s RC Islays by the end of the week.

After performing QC steps and packaging, she could begin shipping them as early as next week. 🥳 🎉 🍾

Cheers to all on board! I am not part of the GMTO, but it sounds like a fantastic makeup.

What is a double Ridgeway?
