I am interested. How many people do you have right now ? Any possibility of doing a 360 welt ?

Love everything else about this make up.

How do you feel about the following variation? Assuming we can come to some agreement on the details, that makes three of us.

I've been thinking of a burgundy/plum museum balmoral boot through either EB or Carmina.

1.) Semi-Brogue or Quarter Brogue Balmoral Boot
2.) Claret Museum or Plum Museum Calf
3.) 804 Last
4.) Flat wheeled 270 hand welt (Bombe waist). Black edge.
5.) Single Leather JR Sole
6.) Blind Eyelets

Might be open to switching to an austerity pattern

What other balmoral patterns can EB do? Is a perf cap without the lateral balmoral seam possible? I would be down for any other seam pattern (I'm sure they could do a moustache with a perf cap toe).

Is anyone interested in the following:

1) austerity balmoral boot
2) Aubergine calf / plum museum or Vitello meleze or Vitello Nero
3) 804 last or 100556
4) flat 270 handwelt (maybe rounded waist)
5) any sole
6) blind eyelets.

Through Solegarb. If we can line it up quick, we can get 10% off...

Here's the model I'm thinking of. Also open to makeup suggestions.

I actually quite like the boot that is pictured. Vitello Meleze would work but I would love etruscho/bolet/bergeronette more.
I do love the idea of a 360 degree welt though.

Austerity / Quarter brogue with medallion toe would be neat.

Gents, sorry I've ducked out if this conversation. I'll make a proper post with options and images tomorrow. It sounds like we have enough interest to get something made.

Bonafe Balmoral (Oxford) Boot GMTO

OK gents, here's the oxford boot GMTO dealy thing. If you're interested, please specify:

1) Model: Austerity balmoral boot or punch cap balmoral boot or either
2) Color: burgundy (aubergine or plum museum), dark brown (meleze or museum), or black
3) Welt/sole: 360 degree flat w/double sole or 270 flat with rounded waist, donkey back with single sole

Fixed details:

1) 804 last (available in wide)
2) matching sole edge color
3) Price will be $625 - 10% = $562.50
4) Vibram topy is $20 extra if wanted

Do folks want SHELL CORDOVAN instead? That would bring the price up to $990 (after discount).

What say you?

2) Burnished Meleze calf
3) 270 welt single sole with rounded waist

Guys, for some reason those extra two derby images keep popping up no matter how many times I try to edit them. Is this some sort of bug? @LAGuy

Preferences:

1.) Punch cap pattern (If EB can do a cap toe pattern without the straight lateral seam that would be ideal)
2.) Plum museum
3.) 270 welt single sole with rounded waist (JR sole if possible)

I can do punch cap and even the 270 welt if everyone is on the same page but would like the leather to be in the medium brown shade.

We may have 4 for dark brown austerity already (including you). I'll follow up on Monday!

So gents we now have 3 for the following:

1) Austerity balmoral boot
2) Dark brown calf (burnished meleze or museum)
3) Blind Eyelets
4) Leather Sole (single with 270 welt and rounded waist or double with 360 flat welt)
5) 804 last (available in F or G width)
6) Price = $563

We need one more joiner, and then we can nail down the leather and welt/sole choice.

Boot model:

Color options (Vitello Meleze, and Dark Brown Museum):
