How about let's vote:-

blue calf:
Blue museum calf: frighter3
I'd request to see swatches prior to ordering if we opt for either the Vitello Bleu or the navy box calf SG mentioned above. Black is still the preference, but those are compelling.

Hard no to the museum calf from me.

Interested in a navy box calf as well. Would probably prefer it if it is a darker blue in general.

I'm interested in either navy/grey/black, whether musuem or not. But would only do the GMTO with the norvegese stitching

You might be best served trying to drum up interest at the thread below as well. This one seems destined for failure as it currently stands.

I think we are at about 3/4 for non norvegese if the navy calf is a go and 2/4 for norvegese with quite a few option for leather.
I think we are close to finalizing the non norvegese make up and could try our luck with getting one more in the other thread or other places.

As an FYI to those considering blue for the GMTO, I was part of a GMTO through Solegarb for the Balway boot with Vitello Blue Upper/Navy Hatch Grain Shaft. I can say that that Vitello Blue is quite dark even in natural light. In fact, it often looks black in certain lighting.

Here are a few photos. Note that most are with non-natural lighting.

I think @ThunderMarch has a pair of chukkas in Bettis blue that are quite stunning. They seem a lot more saturated in color than the very dark vitello calf.
