My favorite boots, along with my rosewood Galway on 202. Not a fan of the blind eyelets though.
Agreed. I really wish they had speedhooks. There are mornings when I don’t want to deal with lacing them. I am thinking about the Rosewood Galways from GF.

I think that’s the best make up of Thorpe I’ve ever seen! Outstanding
Thank you! My MTO was inspired by a make up Skoak carried during its heyday. I opted for exposed eyelets, hooks and ridgeway, instead of blind eyelets and dainite on the Skoak make up(s).

Speaking of great Thorpe make ups, @nishant has several. Couple of my favorites in one pic
