Gg06 is also one of my favorite & highly recommend it

My problem with the St. James is that I know I'll end up wanting it in like 4 colors so I haven't started that process yet. I did decide that the first I buy will be in vintage rioja. That's something I've wanted for a long, long time.

What last are yours on? TG73 is a bit severe to me so I was thinking MH71. I saw a picture of a St. James on the GG06 and it actually really, really good looking.

Both on the TG73. I never owned anything on the GG06 last. The only last I never tried as I always viewed it as too bulbous for my taste, much like the EG 202 last. But I may be wrong, as I actually never tried either. Also pics can be deceptive sometimes. You can make any last look very sleek by playing with the angle. I have seen pics where both the 202 and GG look elegant but I trust more the great majority of the pics that to me tell a different story.

I have 3 pairs on the GG06 and several on the 202 and the GG06 is not nearly as bulbous. It's probably between the 82 and the 202 in terms of shape. All in all, it's just a really nice round last and I'm a huge fan. If you ever decided to try it, I think you'd be pleased.

Here's a top down pic of my Cambridges in Vintage Oak. This is a perfect representation of the last:

I really should try it. I have the Cambridge too in black which I primarily wear with suits. I was debating which last to go with and the choice was between the GG06 and the MH71. I went with the MH71 and I am very happy. But I have to admit that there are occasions where a 'fuller' shoe is more appropriate and would look better with a specific outfit. I guess that's where the GG comes in.

I wear 6-6.5E (depending on shoe design) and I find the GG06 a little too rounded; the DG70 is my preference and I think works with shorter lasts. Personally I like more chiseled and TG73 and MH71 are my first choices.

I've been so good lately and haven't bought G&G in like a year or something...

Those are the Burlington in Vintage Cedar on the MH71.

Great looking shoes. Cedar is the most versatile of the tan shades IMO. I dropped my exact same spec pair off at the Factory last week for a re-craft.

here is another pic of the same shoe. Shown here is also the St James in pine which needs a little bit of cream enhance the burnish on the vamp.

I think the standard answer is about 4 months. That being said, I ordered these December 10 and they are arriving in my greedy hands today.

Congratz, they are gorgeous.

2 months including the christmas break is really awesome. I feel like 2 months should be the regular time to wait for MTO's, it would be perfect. 4 months seem a bit long for impatient people like me
