Doesn't look like the normal midnight blue. But looks beautiful.

 

[TtownMD]

Yes sir I would agree with you on that one by the way did you pull the trigger on pearl grey? Or skipped it thinking they will have purple effect.

So here are my GMTO ideas.

GG Holkham in Mink suede with dark brown gator saddle:

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

GG Antibes in Polo suede with brown gator saddle:

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

GG Arran in Mink or Mole suede (GG06 last & wensum sole):

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

That's all i got, anyone interested?

 

[nickrut]

I'd probably participate in the antibes one. Still need to verify price as any gator has a pretty solid upcharge.

 

[justinkapur]

Probably game for the Antibes

 

[mcl911]

Antibes mountain ram / kudu would be nice

 

[Staffer18283]

Anyone game for a GMTO for gable in deco last in racing green or navy ? I am not fussed about pattern - would also be open to Hanly, Warwick or Connaught.

This modified gable below would be sweet.

I've narrowed minez down to GG St. Thomas, a modified standard by St C and one Bestetti has for the loafer
Eventually something is going to get done in pig

Ok, so it's the GG Antibes in Polo suede with brown gator saddle then:

@Leaves can we get a quote on this potential GMTO?


Interested so far:

@JubeiSpiegel (G width)
@justinkapur (E width?)
@nickrut (E width?)

Could be interested in the suede chukka

I have been trying to get that one going for months, i'm sure it's not going to happen. Not enough interest in a staple that most people probably already have from another maker (like C&J) i suspect...

What last does the GG loafer fit like? MH71? or the TG73?

I would guess MH71, but I don't have first hand experience to verify that. Maybe a GG loafer aficionado can help?

fairly similar to MH but nothing like the TG. KN has a somewhat more tapered toe box than MH
