Epaulet x Carmina MTO

[justinkapur]



According to justinkapur in the Carmina thread, Wilkes Bashford SF has a few Carmina models now.

This is accurate. They had 3 models today. An austerity wingtip in the rain last. A loafer in the Simpson or rain couldn't tell. And a captoe that I didn't get to see

Austerity wingtip you say? Color?

I think the closest you may get is Epaulets forthcoming Santa Monica location, anticipated to open by the end of the month. Check the main EP thread for details.

I take the same size in Rain and Robert, a half size smaller than Simpson.

I wonder if Alcudia would be a good last for the punched captoe adelaide. It would be like this Alcudia model but with a punched captoe.

Just trying to get some more traction on this - above pic, only changes would be adding a punched cap and making the shoe in cognac shell.

Wow what is that? It looks good, I'm surprised at how different they look from Epaulet's photos

Hi, gents. Please let me know if anyone can help with a sizing question.

Size 10 Forest last = Size ? Rain last

Most likely you will take the same size in both those lasts. For what it's worth, I'm a 9UK in both and both lasts fit my feet pretty similarly with the forest last giving me a little more room in the toe box.

Hey all -

With how wonderfully that Loden jumper came out, and all the talk of wanting to get in on a Navy shell version, I was wondering if anyone had aspirations for a Ruby Jumper? I was impressed with the Bal-boot makeup in ruby, but that high of a boot is really not my style.

I've been really wanting to find some true #4 color, but that seems out of the question, so no doubt Mike & Co. could produce a great alternative.

Anyways, just throwing out an interest-check.

Hey El':

I would be very interested. Don't have any Carminas yet but am waiting on the MTO Scotch Grain WWII boots on the Oscar last as my first. Before committing to a $1K investment, I'd want to see how the Oscar fits me and then get some input on how the Forest (if that's the last that's chosen) last compares to the Oscar.

My funds are also spoken for through almost the end of the year. Will be in London briefly next month and hope to pick up a couple pair of English boots on Jermyn St. So I'd need to wait till late this year or early next year. But yes, I would be interested.

I hope the navy jumper didn't have a fallout.

Hey guys!

Hope that all is well and that everyone's enjoying the last round of makeups! Carmina is on holiday for a bit longer, so this is a great time to get another batch going for the Fall. We'll get primo delivery for it.

First off, I built out the Navy Shell Jumper. Here's the link for that:

Navy Shell Cordovan Jumper Boot Special Order Deposit

The details are as follows:

Robert Last
Blind eyes with antique brass hooks
Flat Welt
York Sole

Next up, we've had a few other ideas floating around.

U-Cap
Anyone interested in doing this in either Cognac Shell or Burgundy Shell? We can price it out around $825.

More Loden Shell Cordovan
This color is seriously awesome, and the last delivery looked incredibly boss! How about doing a Loden Shell Alt Wien or Austerity brogue for the next round

Brown Lizard Double Monk
We've been kicking this one around for a bit. The pricing would fall a little below shell cordovan We can do gorgeous brass-tone hardware on it too.
