Crockett & Jones MTO Central

Last would be a Cheviot makeup made on the 375 last. 375 is an update to the 325 with a better fit in the waist and heel. Frame Fukuoka is already doing Pembrokes with the 375.

C&J Gunboats!!!

I'm back and forth between Burnished Tan Calf and either Dark Brown or Tan Scotch Grain. With all 3 ideas I'm of course open to input from the group.

Nice proposal. I would sign up to this. For those (like me) who've never done a MTO or GMTO via this platform. Can you tell me how i would go about it? Thanks.

This would also be my first GMTO through here, so hopefully another member will chime in to correct me. But I believe if there is interest on the makeup it can be added to the official GMTO spreadsheet. From there interested parties can add their name to the list and a price and timeframe can be added once there is enough interest.

OK thanks. Will wait for more instructions and guidance on this as it develops.

Generally, someone takes the lead with the proposal, i.e. reaching out to C&J for pricing, confirmation that the makeup is doable, etc. At some point, a sheet will be created in the C&J GMTO Google sheets with the details and the option to signup (and this may even be done in advance of final confirmation from C&J). Just add your name and sizing, and ideally, drop a comment in this thread stating that you've signed up. When they come together quickly, the organizer is usually on top of the status and once it hits the required number, you'll provide your email address and C&J will contact you for payment. On the proposals that languish, who knows.

I hope it's not considered a bombardment of too many MTO ideas, but I threw a few separate options together with the intent to add whichever had actual interest to the official GMTO spreadsheet.

First is a Skye boot in Tan Scotch Grain. Skomakaren did this makeup some years ago and I love it. Burnished Tan would also look great. I've had a lot of regrets after letting my burnished chestnut Skyes go a few years ago. I think tan would be a more versatile color than the chestnut was and would get more wear.


I'm proposing the 378 last for the MTO. Its described as an update to the 335 with a sculpted heel cup.

Nice makeup, I'd be interested in this and maybe the Cheviot.

 

[theundeadkennedy]

Good deal! What specs would you like to see if the Cheviot gains more interest?

That is a very nice idea. I saw photos on the web of a tan scotch grain Skye and this make-up is fantastic! However, I hesitate as I already own the Skye in chestnut calf and the Lindrick in whiskey shell. But maybe I would join nevertheless.

@zippyh just posted his tan grain Lindricks. Almost the same boot as the Skye but with slightly different brogueing.

 

[theundeadkennedy]

They definitely look nice 👌🏻

That would definitely fall in the same color pallette as those, but could fill a more rugged overall role 🤔 I'd say they would be more low key as well than their brothers.

It would mostly depend upon the leather & color. I LOVE longwings, but I already have a tan pair, so I don't really see myself picking up a duplicate, but I'd have to think about it if it's scotch grain.

Well hopefully some other members are interested and we can see where things go 🤞🏻

Long time lurker, but I just signed up to add my name to the burgundy shell Harlech GMTO - really love CJ shell!

Arrived today! Connaught single special order in Earth green suede on dark brown city sole, last 236.
The shoes look a bit more greenish outdoors in real life than on the photos. Indoors, they look like dark grey. Exactly as I planned. Not everybody's cup of tea, but I find them awesome. I will post more photos when they get their first wear:
