Gaziano & Girling Appreciation & Shoe Appreciation Thread (including reviews, purchases, pictures)

[Sir F]

No I don't have that many. I have 5 at home and 2 decos on their way and will probably order one more deco in the next one or two months for spring delivery 2013 and maybe the Cannes so it will take some time before I have 10!

Oh okay, well you are one lucky man that's for sure!

 

[Sir F]

I like the G&G, they cost pretty much the same?

Well I had my eyes on those GG for a long time. But I wanna se if there is much diffrence between them (quality wise) and work. Yeah almost the C&J are £520 and GG £585.

But the G&Gs does unfortunately cost £585 since the VAT is 20% and shipping is £20 so the final price (inside EU) is £848 with shoe trees

Oh god damn now that's a big diffrence. What do you think C&J or the GG? They both are pretty much the same quality, correct?

To be totally honest I would go for the GGs, they are several notches above the Cjs IMO

I saw a pair of Kents in black with black croc uppers. I hate exotics, but I must have a pair of those. The croc contrast on that shoe was really extremely understated and instead of the loud "BLING and class" which croc normally does, these said "bling and Class"

Those might have been mine, I posted an iPhone-shot a few months back...

Oh okay I just took a shoot, since you have so many GG shoes I thought you might have a pair of loafers (really want to see them on somebody). I'm also thinking about the same one that's why. 

I might slip on my Cannes in Fox Suede this week and I'll post a pic.

DG - dean girling
TG - tony girling
?

I think it is GG06= Gaziano Girling 2006 (I think they started 2006)
TG73 = Tony Gaziano and when he was born
DG70= Dean Girling and when he was born
the rest I don't know. KN14 is probably not made with the same logic?

anyone know what the MH71 stands for in?

Just a guess: maybe it's our member iyorito and the year of his birth

iyorito signs off with the initials MH

Masaichi Hasegawa, Director,
Gaziano and Girling Limited

Sir F ordered 2 pairs of Loafers just got to wait till October till i get them but pictures below of what I've ordered if this helps.

Pictures from Nick at Bespoke England was a great help in choosing
