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

[CHRK33]

For those considering a G&G GMTO from Skoak in light of the declining SEK, I am still trying to wrangle two more members for the following Thorpe makeup if you are interested. At this point, it should come just in time for the fall. Perfect time to order. It should be approx $953 at this point. Let's make this happen.

Specs:

Burgundy Highland Grain
Exposed antiqued brass eyelets
Double Dainite with storm welt
MH71

Members currently with confirmed interest:
myself
@ikaika122
@Nullson

I have had inquiries from the following members who were doing their diligence - perhaps you are in now?
@rydenfan
@sacafotos
@KenRose
@gngrprince
@IGotId

Feel free to PM me with any questions.

Do you have a mock up?

Do you have a mock up?

I wish I was better at photoshop (or at all competent), but apparently this makeup has never been done. I have spent a lot of time sifting through google images and tumblr and come up empty. Sorry.

I promise it will be good though. I promise.

Are you thinking of doing the entire boot in the burgundy grain?

Reason I ask is I have a split toe boot im doing with Bontoni in a light brown and dont want to replicate almost the exact same boot.

 

[Dandy Wonka]

Can I see the boot?

If it's a special order I assume they will do 13?

Just had my midnight blue Mitchells darkened by the Savile Row G&G artisans. Took a picture next to a stock specimen to show the difference.

I am empathetic to your cause, so i made a mock-up for you. Hopefully it will help in getting those last 2 people you need:

Great looking boot, and I've been yearning for a Thorpe.


I just wish I didn't have so many in that color already.

If I had your skills, I'd just have 5 pairs of shoes and just have different colors posted on the threads... who needs shell LWBs in 5 different colors?

You just can't believe anything you see on the internet anymore...

What last is that on? The toe box looks longer than other G&Gs I've seen.

Deco last.

@JubeiSpiegel

Good man! Thanks for the pics.

I love the boot, just wondering how much use I'd get out of it; I'm sensing overlap in my rotation.

Now, either Chestnut hatch grain or Vintage Rioja smooth calf with VR hatch grain shaft...I don't known. They're all tempting, and my anxiety is on high

Wow, you are my hero!!! Thanks so much. And I have to say, your skills are impressive. Well played!

I hope this pushes folks over the edge.
