Considering a pair of St. James II in some sort of hatch grain. Any suggestions? Would prefer the most versatile colour...

I'm a big fan of the vintage rioja

These have finally landed. Haven't had a chance to field test them yet, but looking forward to it. Saint James II, TG73, Margaux Patina, plus some fittings.

This thread has been quiet for over a week. I broke down today and ordered an Arran in Oak Hatch Grain with double Wensum soles. Now the 4 month wait.

I too have placed an order: Burnham, Deco Square, dark Vintage Rioja, red lining, wensum sole, lots of fitting adjustments. G&G is really great to work with on these orders too. And let’s not forget the all important shoe trees.

Yup. Also broke down despite what I wrote last month. Got the Crompton loafers in Rioja Hatch Grain, also with Wensum soles, with red shoe trees. Figured new year, new job, new shoes; and I'm not likely to see any combination like this elsewhere. I went through the store rather than the website.

Me too. St James II in vintage oak, on square deco, in my 9F size. Splurged for monogram this time. Still on the fence on doing another Burnham in either beluga or criollo.

Great choices.
London Jodhpur boots in black, and
Glencoe boots in dark brown for me.

Anyone have insights into G&G’s 2020 U.S. trunk show schedule? Haven’t seen them in Chicago in a while and would be thrilled to have them visit.

Just saw these on their Instagram... amazing but reminds me of Berluti

Looks better than Berluti to my eyes.
