So far, there are four people who have registered interest in forming a GMTO for this proposed make-up:

- @Coolhand0302
- @SteveL91
- @shoeinvestor
- @nareichert

If everyone stays on, that means only two more are needed to send this beautiful boot into production without MTO fees, which works out to a better price than a pair of stock shell Alden’s…

If anyone else is interested, please just let me know - thanks!
I am interested! Count me in.

@joman8390 @nycs10011 @clee1982 @c0ugrhuntr @YouyouFr + ANYONE ELSE INTERESTED.

I have updated information on the C&J brown shell cordovan PTB on 325 last (identical to RL Marlow).

1. We are entitled to the retail price for a GTMO of at least 6 participants.
2. The current retail price is £690 (or £575 ex VAT). (For perspective, the price of a single MTO is £975 (or £812.50 ex VAT).
3. The shoes will be delivered approximately 4 months after the complete order is placed.
4. Shipping to US is £20.

Other pertinent information:

- Six participants is a minimum but C&J is willing to accept any number of orders in excess of six.
- To commence the order, C&J needs the following information from all participants: (a) name and styleforum name, (b) UK shoe size (E fitting), (c) shipping and billing address, (d) telephone number, and (e) whether you want the shoes shipped to you or you will collect the shoes from the store
- For security reasons, C&J desires to take credit card details over the phone. The rest of the information will be delivered to C&J via e-mail. Payments will be processed immediately. If for any reason the GMTO does not go through C&J will refund all payments.
- IF a pair is damaged during production C&J will not remake the pair but will refund the money.

We currently have FIVE confirmed participants ready to provide payment information to C&J. We need just one more to place the order (but even after getting the sixth can include anyone else who desires to participate).

Lindrick* in Navy Shell Cordovan

View attachment 1836256
(*photo depicts a Navy Shell Islay, but you get the idea; it was the closest mockup I could find in a somewhat considered interweb search. Credit: DXBMark)

I was about to drop some cash on the AE Shell Trunk Show today, but all this discussion about a weak pound and completing C&J shell (and a very, very sweet Baker’s Russian Grain Islay) GMTOs has me thinking about what unique shell makeups could take advantage of both opportunities at once, and it came to me: a Lindrick boot in Navy Shell Cordovan.

To my knowledge, such a boot has never before been produced. But we’re all familiar with the sleek, fully-brogued wingtip boot that we’ve seen done in Dark Brown and Whiskey shell before - but this would be in Navy Cordovan.

However, I’m not sure if this shell makeup only appeals to my beautiful mind, so I thought I’d see if anyone else was interested in a group order before I go the single MTO route. Please let me know if you’re interested, and we’ll work something out with Jermyn Street…


GMTO Interest Check - Navy Cordovan Lindrick

- Style: Lindrick
- Last: 325
- Width: E
- Material: Shell Cordovan

Navy Shell Lindrick update

The following people have expressed interest in a Navy shell Cordovan Lindrick GMTO:

As we add to the group, some changes to the original spec sheet have been proposed for consideration... In the interest of consensus, and in just building the best overall makeup we can come up with, please consider if you have a preference for any of the following specifications:

Eyelets:
- 8 matching eyelets
- 4 speedhooks + 4 eyelets

Hardware (regardless of eye/hook combination):
- matching (navy painted)
- brass hardware (antique or bright)

Sole:
- Double Leather
- Dainite Ridgeway
- Dainite Studded

Just a reminder that the Northampton factory is closed until October 3 for their Autumn break. Upon their return, we will receive confirmation of leather availability and final pricing. I’d like to put the GMTO together without delay, so please consider your interest as a participant in this venture in the interim.

Once all committed participants are identified, I will notify Jermyn Street of our final list, and we will “close” the GMTO. I will provide contact details to the group, and each participant will need to arrange payment and shipping details directly with Crockett & Jones. If not enough participants pay as agreed or the GMTO falls apart for any other reason, C&J will refund payment. But if the GMTO proceeds as planned, then we can expect our boots approximately four months from when the order is sent to the factory (~Jan, 2023).

Please let me know any questions or suggestions either here or via pm - thanks!

Wow, that was a very fast one. I would not have counted on this.

I hereby confirm my interest and vote for:
4 speedhooks + 4 eyelets
matching hardware
Double Leather sole first and Dainite Ridgeway second preference

On the subject of Lindrick’s… the GMTO we closed out at the start of the summer looks like it is here. Just seen a DHL notification generated…

Maybe Monday?
I also received a DHL notification and Alex told me that they are expecting the boots soon after the factory reopens next week. So, it should take some days. Already excited to receive the dark brown ones to accompany the Whiskey ones! And perhaps, next year, navy shell will follow...
