Deco Bates in deco black calf

Deco Collcut in deco black calf

All Deco

Few of my G&G MTO collection

G&G for RL Antibes in dark brown calf

This is not the thread for the following shoes, but I though some of you may appreciate the process.
These are Riccardo Bestetti test shoes for my 2 pairs which will be done this summer. He made a test shoe to test the fit. This cheap leather shows all fit faults like an imprint.

By the way, these are EU 47 wide.

You are incorrigible, good sir. Well done...

I think it makes you want to comment. Are you sitting by your device all day.
Although, these are nice Oakham's and Nick is the best.

 

[Saratorial_Splender]



I'll take that smile. I knew you will say something.

I am looking at a MTO in vintage chestnut as well. The burnished toe sold me on it. Especially on that MTO burnham from a bit ago...

If I wear you, being in the UK, I just go and pick them up from Nick. I am not sure I could wait!

Looks bespoke. I've yet to see and MTO that is burnished that well.

I suppose you are right, that burnishing was indeed next level awesome. I recall GG doing custom burnishing for a fee. Such was the case for a client that wanted dark cherry on their oakhams, if i recall correctly:

Maybe that could be an option to look into...
