Thanks!Your montand in grain is my favorite and another target.So I guess english grain fits close to suede?I could chose the size in english grain as in suede.
This monaco fits great.But antibes in calf in same size is too tight.I don't konw if antibes in english grain will be ok.

I take 8uk for suede loafers but 8.5uk for every thing else. You should take your regular shoe size.

This is a G&G shoe. Never seen this sole before. It's a single leather sole. What is this about?

That is just natural leather. No burnished/painted.

Interesting. Never seen these before. Who sells them and are they cheaper?

I believe G&G sells them directly and yes, they are cheaper than the GYW G&G.

Thank you. I found this online and there is quite a bit of user discussion at the end of the article as well.

Nice. Something new that was not discussed over at the other link:

"The G&G Fresco range has a cemented construction, and uses a more flexible sole: chestnut rather than oak-bark tanned."

I love chestnuts.

I have a question.. How do we distinguish Deco line from regular line?

The toe shape. Deco has a pretty distinct toe.
