It was my MTO - it started out as a Cooper with modified Gable stitching

and there we have it. you did an absolutely fantastic job sir.
so much so I believed it was time to grab a pair.
i'm also using your idea as a foundation for a St. Crispin . . . . thank you

What I learned from your pic is that any pair of footwear can be turned into a masterpiece, if you insert GG trees...

The Deco last doesn't do it for me, so i can't take advantage of this, but maybe seeing more examples will change my mind.

Still planning to do my MTO before the end of the month, but I'll wait for the swatches to make my final decision on leather. I have also decided to make it a 3 eyelet instead of a 4, the mock-up looked good :nodding:
