Those are pretty rockin' and I'm not the biggest G&G fan in general. What type of leather is used there? It looks like calf with a subtle texture.

In order to buy these in Toronto you will need to go to Pearson and buy a ticket to New York.

Despite being the centre of the known universe....you cannot buy G&G in Toronto.

That was mine. The AC had gone out in Mr. Despos office, and he was kind enough to offer. I do not now, nor never will, claim to be a competent photographer.

Pics aren't great, but as we know we are always excited for a new pair of shoes!

^ Nice, Patrick. What made you do TG73 over say, a DG70? I had you pegged differently in lasts.

 

[patrickBOOTH]

Good question. I love the chiseled toe, but when I placed the order I told myself that my next will be a DG70, Grant maybe. Then of course I walked into the trunk show and saw the Deco line. Now I am like, hmm always room for an even more chiseled last. That Bowlly is looking mighty fine...

I have these on order in Black Deco Calf and a pair in Vintage Cherry Calf...Can't wait to wear them.

I would argue that the deco line is more pointy, but not more chiseled. You get a more chiseled last with bespoke.

I don't know, I guess. When I saw the Deco line in person I felt that they were a little less aggressively pointy than in pictures. I would say that my Corthay and Rider balmoral are the most "chiselled" of any of my shoes and certaintly the most bespoke looking.

i dont find deco's too aggressive, they are slightly longer than the regular range but when i compared them to my first bespokes from G&G there are very similar - i find corthay a lot snoutier and pointy
