Does the MH71 have the same instep as TG?

For some people yes but in my experience instep on MH71 is more generous.

I would have to be an F

We are working on

Model : Burnham.
Last : MH71
Soles : Leather

The price 10000 SEK.

PS as you know February is time when G&G increased the prices so this may be a right time to get Burnham.

Let me know if you are interested in what width you require

Jotted this in another thread, but I might be interested depending on final make-up and my finances. I will caution that I am an F width though, so can't be in the initial make-weight.

I thought the projects was Thorpe not the Burnham

UK9E...count me in

Might as well leave me out of the initial group, my G width excludes me from GMTO orders.

I do hope this goes through, i think it will be a good make-up...

Only problem for me is my super narrow width. G&G said they would need to seek feet to even see if they could get a width narrow enough in my length without going bespoke so I'll have to wait until I can meet up with Tony or Dean. Sorry.

We have two consecutive project going on Thorpe and Burnham.

It seems like both are on the table as potential GMTOs.

The Burnham seems to have more momentum is all...

Can someone show me the other one please?

That is right - we have two concurrent GMTOs trying to get made. The Thorpe group just needs two more and we can get rolling.

Here is an awesome mockup that @JubeiSpiegel put together to get folks excited

If folks are more interested in a mixed media Thorpe with a hatch grain shaft and country calf lower combo, PM me and maybe we can get a critical mass that way.

An amazing opportunity to get very unique makeup done at a great price through Skoaktiebolaget. Particularly with the Euros significant weakening against the dollar.

I am interested in the Burnham GMTO in UK7.E, but has a color been confirmed? Is "Deep Vintage Ceder" a known quantity in hue and availability for GMTO?

Also, why is a GMTO 10000 SEK when Skoak RTW are going for 7360SEK non-EU at most?

The GG Burnham model is the most expensive non-deco model you can order through GG. It probably has to do with the fact that such a huge amount of seamless leather has to be used to make this beautiful whole cut chelsea boot. There are very few RTW makers that makes a whole cut chelsea, but the price has been confirmed as 10,000 SEK (exl. VAT)...

 

[laufer]



Burnham is a wholecut boot and more expensive than other models.

 

[justinkapur]

So whats pricing looking like for the Thorpe? I particularly like the burgundy grain on the boot.
Double leather sole?

 

[DWFII]



I actually don't know of another RTW maker that makes a whole cut chelsea,

FWIW, I am pretty sure that Australian outfit...R.M. Williams (?)...makes full cut chelseas.
