   as an after thought, a little renovateur probably wouldn't hurt either. i know how you feel tho  i couldn't believe it when i opened
   the box & saw that.    they obviously hadn't even been tried on so it was kinda weird.

Yeah man. I know we're getting a discount but still a lot of money. Will try that once I figure out some options.

im sorry, can you repeat the question? i dont comprehend.

The model is different, albeit both wingtips. Looks good to me, get em both...

i meant, why would one not get 2 pairs of GGs if they are able to. it was the premise i could not comprehend, not the particular question.

I just realized this. Rothschild are MTO and on order.

exact same shoe, but let's say, different colors? maybe the St James, Westminster and Arran

along with the EG Chelsea and Oundle, and the JL Chapel

Do you mean St James, Westminster and Arran are some other options.

Would take the croc Deco Cooper in every color in the visible spectrum.

Hard to argue with that...

How about this:
Is there any pair of GGs that you would buy twice, in identical specs, at basically the same time?

Defo the St. James II, others as well. Would have to peruse the options.

I got in touch with NIck and am having the St James ordered in polo suede but I would take it in vintage cherry and or british racing green.

Also on another note does anyone know when Barneys will take another mark down on their GG's? I want to kop a pair but trying to hold out if I possibly can for a second mark if its gonna happen like last time

Last time the second mark down was within weeks iirc.
