Why not get the black Sinatra and apply some navy polish for a little depth?

I'm still liking the MH71 for the Sinatra, but TG73 is growing on me.

Do you have an example of this?

This one is on GG's online shop, so you can order it from retailers as RTW price, but not all the retailers will do that, I asked Skoak, but I was told they are not allowed to pull stock inventory for the none Deco style on Deco last, then I asked another retailer in US, they can do that and the price is almost the same as Skoak's. Warwick is the only style on Deco last on GG's website now, hope could come more.

Um, we can do any stock pull from G&G, I have to speak to my team about that. Sorry you were misinformed.

Thanks AndrzejJopek, really appreciate your kind words. I think a pair of racing green will be great.

Interesting with the Navy on Black.
I got some C&J black Weymouth whole cuts i may just try that out on to give them a different look.
The problem i find with black shoes is that they all look the same and it takes something exceptional like the Sinatra or Deco range to make them stand out.

Navy polish on black is the most common one I've heard. Another that Steven Taffel of Leffot has suggested is Navy polish on burgundy.

Navy on burgundy gives the shoes some depth.

I heard of navy on burgundy and other colors and that makes sense because navy is darker so you can tell. But black is so dark it's hard to see it making as much of an impact.

Just looked it up in google:

The most striking difference to me is that one was shined and the other was not. I can't see it can you guys? I think the point was to get it to be darker than black rather than bluish. I guess I'll try it on mine next time just for kicks.

From that pic I would agree with you not much difference also ironist do you own jodhpur by G&G by any chance. Soak is getting them for fall looks very interesting.

Unfortunately no. I am in on the burnham though and by the look of my westminsters, it looks like deep cedar is a very rich and unique color. Should be great.

There is some nice depth to the shading!

It isn't something I do, but it's not the first I've heard of it either and to be fair this is only one pair of shoes and one picture. If I remember correctly it can add a bit of depth.

In widths too, or would that be MTO territory?

(I'm asking here instead of email in case anyone else would like to know.)

Stock pulls are only in the same widths listed (E Width). No F Width's that I know of. Sorry!
