Spoo, have you ever caused a riot before?

I need to tell everyone something which will probably bore everyone, but hey, it excites the crap out of me.

I have always been forced to buy G&G which are either too narrow or too long because nobody ever stocks shoes in a wide fitting these days.

Anyway, Nik came to my rescue and he might have a pair or two of exactly the G&G shoes I have been looking for from places like Leffot et al IN MY BIG FOOT SIZE!!

Now, if somebody could please describe to me how exciting that really is because I cannot find the words.

 

i believe what you are looking for is the following



and of course he did, nick is a magical creature.

To move back to the topic: I was told a couple of weeks back that the G&G staff is up to a full team now so lead times should improve. Might be old news for you guys... Also, new larger premises are being negotiated and also...a new factory, for a new product line. Don't know if that is official though so can't go into that further.

I just checked their website and they also have John Lobb. I always figured Barneys would be more fashion forward and wouldn't carry these brands.

John Lobb Paris is pretty fashion forward, IMO. Not as forward as the other French guys but its still more modern than EG and C&J

Hope it does not mean any operational change to their bespoke side of business...

I dont understand this question.

Don't worry Spoo, it seems the question was rhetorical anyway.

Is that the vintage pine or the vintage cedar? Looks suspiciously like the vintage cedar, although the camera lights it up enough to appear like the pine.

Nick said it was a bespoke colour but i think the closest is Vintage Pine
