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

Those are gorgeous! Are these the Jodhpurs where the strap can be done in different ways? If so, can you post pics of the different ways it can be done?

Thanks. Yes, the strap is a separate piece, and can be arranged differently. I was actually wearing the right boot with the strap over the tongue, and the left arranged beneath it and against my shin, to see which was more comfortable. The strap can be moved around to reposition the buckle too. I think under is better for me. There are clearer photos out there, but here you go!

Quick update on the sizing of my Crompton loafers, which I purchased in my "standard" Gaziano & Girling 11E size - I ended up inserting tongue pads for these. I now have a comparable fit to my other 11Es.

First wear around the house of the G&G Thorpes that I picked up from @nishant. Thank you, sir. Really enjoying this pair so far.

Thorpe in Oak hatch grain from Mehra. Probably won't wear these for a while, but I need to install 4 speedhooks (or eyelets and hooks) on my two pairs of Thorpes.

Did you get these as part of the MTO or were they the stock offering?

These were stock offering. I considered MTO, simply so I could get a pair with DL soles and speedhooks, but ended up getting these anyway.

Either way, they look great!

Edit - and you convinced me to pick up another pair of them ?

Ha ha, happy to enable. Did you get the oak or the tan hatchgrain (assuming you're ordering from Mehra)?

Tan hatchgrain ?

Now I kinda want a tan hatchgrain pair too.

But I'm really not seeing that in my future anytime soon.

 

[heelguy]

Both are great. I got the tan which is really chestnut hatch.
