That boot is a new one from EG. I think it's an old archived model they've brought back. I'm having that done in Nightshade Calf (deep burgundy/purplish calf colour) at some point. Anyone else interested?


I'm thinking the Epsom in Nightshade Calf only, no need to mix mats, I think it will look pretty spectacular anyway. Either on the 82 F or possibly 202 E. Black double leather sole, sunken metal tips, black lining, no speed hooks, hidden eyelets. :slayer:
edit: corrcted mat to Nightshade


Sounds amazing. Another one I think would be really cool would be the same boot in black shell or black scotch grain

I'm in , but would need it to be on an 82 last for me. I'm a D width...would that be an issue?

I boot like that should be on last 82, i think 202 is to round. Guess that all shoes must be the same width?
Found some pics from Leffot of a monk on last 82 in nightshade calf

That would make a cool boot but the single color/texture is turning me off.

Noonan,

Nightshade is darker shade of burgundy if you have saphir burgundy polish it looks like that antique burgundy is lighter shade of burgundy.

That's sort of what I thought. Nightshade would be more like cordo #8. I am tempted to MTO those Epson's with a complementary suede in Antique Burgundy.

Leaves - if you've any ideas, shoot me a PM.

Why do you need a group order? Doesn't EG do single MTO? Will the group order waive the upcharge for MTO?

Short answer:

Yes.

Patek - Maybe we could get 6 for the Epson? Again, I think Antique Burgundy for the lower and maybe a mole suede (or something else complementary - but not over the top) for the upper. What are your thoughts? BTW - what's the price delta between MTO and group MTO?

Just wanted to let everyone know who expressed interest in the Galway MTO that, courtesy of Leaves, we now have 5 confirmed people for the boot. ONLY ONE MORE and we are ready to roll.

As a reminder, the specs are as follows:

Dark Oak Antique calf (lower)
Walnut country calf (upper)
Antiqued brass exposed eyelets with speedhooks
Fully lined shaft
Medium antique edgetrim
Brown Dainite Sole
Lining color?

Basically, the following boot:

700


The price would be 8700 SEK including VAT; for those of us in the United States, without VAT the price would be 6960 SEK, which is right around $1030, which is a pretty amazing price for these boots.

Please PM if you want to be the lucky sixth participant. We would all thank you.
