Amazing! Feeling pretty foolish for passing up on the Burnham GMTO... :fu:


I learned my lesson after passing on willow. Never pass up on a GMTO. You will always regret it after photos lol.

If I knew that I won't be hit with monster duties I would be in for Burnham on MH71 F width rerun.

Just unreal.

And I'm the fool number three... Rerun?


I would probably be more ready in about another month or two after receiving two other G&Gs I'm waiting on. I would rather wait to ensure better fit first.

Lesson learned when I passed up kudu st James 2 but not any more.


Glad I jumped on that one at least.

Anyway I think @Leaves mentioned he had someone at G&G looking at calf colors that would go with the next version of Kudu coming out for another Kudu calf St James.

I know G&G uses the description of vintage cherry, do they also have a color called red cognac box calf as well or is this from another shoemaker?

I think he means vass. G&G has a burgundy calf that nobody really orders that I think closer to vass's red cognac. Everyone just order vintage cherry.

So vass red cognac box calf is sa,e or very close to GG vi tag echerry then is that what you are telling me?


yep, if you ask G&G to lay off the burnish on vintage cherry, yes that's the closest to red cognac.

Looking at burgundy for G&G now, seems my mistake Much closer to vintage rioja.. I bet vintage rioja took away its popularity.

Scroo my life I guess I will be changing coor then to some thing else.


Hey you know what. Look up rosewood calf for G&G that's before they came out with all these vintage stuff. That's like dead on red cognac for vass.

Vint cherry is similar, but still different enough.
