Cup holders, now why didn't I think of that.

Now I have no worries when the wife sees my latest pair of boots. LOL

With those babies you won't even need a cup. Just drink it straight out of the boot like a real man.

New glasses, now my wife should really appreciate that.


She's been talking about getting new glasses. LOL

So unfortunately we had a couple folks drop out of the Burgundy Highland Grain GMTO that I am trying to organize through Skoak. We are back down to 3 people confirmed right now on the E width - any additional interest out there? Unfortunately I think the Arran Highland Grain might be siphoning our interest. But I am still holding out hope.

Just a reminder for the specs:

Burgundy Highland Grain
Exposed antiqued brass eyelets (all eyelets)
Double Dainite with storm welt
MH71

Members currently with confirmed interest in E width:
myself
@justinkapur
@heelguy

I have had inquiries from the following members who were doing their diligence - perhaps you are in now?
@domino123
@rydenfan
@KenRose
@gngrprince
@IGotId
@jkater1

We still do not have the elusive 5 of the same width orders to take it to the next step. Shoot me a PM if you are interested or if you have any questions.

Awesome mock up to give you a taste of what the finished boot will look like:

About to confirm my order for Rothschild in Vintage Chestnut on DG70. Do you guys think Vintage Chestnut would look better with natural edge trimming or the normal darker edge? Also, has anyone seen the new vintage chestnut in person? Is it more similar to the second photo or third?

Great choice.

I've been giving this one some serious thought myself lately.

There is a new Vintage Chestnut color. I have small swatch that I posted already. I would say that 2nd and 3rd photo are accurate.Keep in mind that one is taken under artificial and the other under natural light.

The new vintage chestnut is on the left side the swatch on the right side is Vintage Cedar.

given that the new chestnut is lighter (according to the previous poster), you'd probably be able to get away with natural. it already looks good on the old chestnut. [EDIT: right swatch is actually cedar, not old chestnut. my recommendation holds though]

+1 for the natural sole edge. To clarify, that pic from our shop is the "new" Chestnut.

I did not say that it's lighter. The swatch on the rights side is Vintage Cedar.
I do not have a old chestnut to compare to.

Should do it!

Thanks for the recommendations and swatches@Leaves @murakamiharuki @laufer. I think I'm going for the natural edge. Hope it turns out like the third pic. So vibrant.
