The standard Grant comes on the DG70 last.
The deco has more finishing, that's it.

Aren't both models easily made on any G&G laced shoe last?

Is there really a standard last for every model? I've actually seen more Grants in TG73 than anything else. In the G&G catalogue, the Grant is also shown in TG73.

Standard, as in they make stock shoes like that. If you were to get a Grant in vintage oak on the DG70 it would not be considered a MTO shoe, they have a stock of them. FWIW, I don't think the Sinatra is stock at all.

That makes sense.

Is it only one color that they have a stock of for each model?

Some styles they have more than one color. It is all on their website if you click shoes and then stock on the bottom.

rikod, I love the G&G TG73 or MH61 soft square lasts. I want your shoes!

Any particular reason I never seem to see G&G shoes ordered in their grain or pigskin offerings? Calf and suede are obviously popular, but I have only seen one or two in grain and none in pigksin.
Getting ready to place my next order for a pair of the Hoves and thought about trying something different. Already have:
Burlington - Black Calf
Hayes - Vintage Oak
Rothschild - Vintage Rioja
Walkton - Vintage Chestnut

Member Luk-Cha has a pair in pigskin here.

Thank you for the kind words
Appreciate your opinion, I prefer traditional/round lasts myself but I like variety. I've been trying G&G the last couple of years, all G&G lasts fit me very well

that's all that matters, imo.

Only on StyleForum do we use this term for shoes.
