Crockett & Jones MTO Central

[once a day]

Forgot to add point 1.5: Make sure the data in the spreadsheet is all filled out, there are several entries which don't have a size, the sheet should be completed and forwarded to Pernilla for reference (along with email addresses.)

I've been tracking the Galway II for some time. Is there anyone in favor of switching to either Dainite or Ridgeway sole? We're splitting or time between Hong Kong and Stockholm, so I need something that can width-stand the rain.

Hello everyone,
Pernilla just told me that the extra charge for a MTO for the Zug Snowdon with plain toe would be £250...
I am back on board, suddenly ;-)

 

[AdductorMagnus]

What, you don't have a moneytree in your backyard?

 

[Rodolphe]

A moneytree to pay the person not to sew !

Maybe ask Pernilla if they can just "forget" to stitch the faux toecap on your boots in the GMTO? I mean, it's less work, not more.

That's just what I told her, to take my pair and instead of sew the cap toe, just put it with the others which are already sewn. So that we do not add a manufacturing step but we just remove a simple one...
But it become automatically a MTO and the price rise up.

Galways yesterday. Lifted one pant leg scandalously high to shownoff this glorious boot.

I don’t see any benefits of you doing this unless it’s just your preference.

In fact, esthetically I prefer with faux cap toe but for better waterproofness it is better in plain toe. Because I want to use them in bad weather conditions, I find more logical a plain toe with zug leather and Veldtschoen construction.

Possibly but I have used these boots in all kind of crappy weather. Never had any problem what so ever. If you are getting rid of faux cap toe for 250 pounds extra. Just to make boot more water proof. It’s just plain throwing money away you will not see any difference. Just my two cent, you can do as you please. Own both type of styles & use it as bad weather **** kickers.

I am already back on board the GMTO ;-)
I don't want to spend 250£ for a seam less, for sure.

Cheaper option is to rub some leather salve like Otter Wax on the faux stitch- done. Waterproof and you can keep the sweet looking faux stitch

In all honesty you don’t need to do any thing accept wipe the mud & stain off with wet rag. Zugg is bulletproof leather my man.

Still looking for a final person to join the Dundee. Pernilla is already taking our info, so if you join, you won't have too wait. Here's a reminder of how awesome @mogili222 's boots look:

These Whiskey Harlechs are from previous GMTO, dainite soles, and C&J's version of antique edging.
