My favorite boots, along with my rosewood Galway on 202. Not a fan of the blind eyelets though.

Agreed. I really wish they had speedhooks. There are mornings when I don’t want to deal with lacing them. I am thinking about the Rosewood Galways from GF.

I had eyelets added to a pair of my Thorpe's. Easy change and you'll love em even more

My Thorpe MTO via The Hand. Loving these. Rustic Arran Highland grain with a darker/chestnut finish.

Where’d you get eyelets installed?

I think that’s the best make up of Thorpe I’ve ever seen! Outstanding

Thank you! My MTO was inspired by a make up Skoak carried during its heyday. I opted for exposed eyelets, hooks and ridgeway, instead of blind eyelets and dainite on the Skoak make up(s).

Speaking of great Thorpe make ups, @nishant has several. Couple of my favorites in one pic

Finally got my MTO orders from July and I’m blown away with how they came out.

L to R:
Burnham in vintage cedar, TG73
Lamport in extreme criollo/English grain, DG70
Burnham in extra dark vintage rioja, square deco.
