Luk-cha, thanks for posting some great photos!

Beautiful color and the front apron is great

But the overall design of a Blucher with a rounded toe hasn't won me over yet

I still enjoyed the sleeker looking designs of your G&G Bespoke.

Which color Cordovan did you use....Shell#8/Bourdeaux or Brown/Cigar?

Gosh L-C, you have to put up with some peculiar comments when you post pictures sometimes, don't you? Gunboats like this aren't meant to be sleek! Not to mention peculiar questions too: does that look like Cigar to anyone????

I say those of us who appreciate exactly why that set of specs (last, skin, colour, construction) were requested find the results outstanding. Bravo.

Is that really bordo shell? Looks like dark brown on my screen.

The color looks brown in the first two photos and #8 in the the third.

Sator calling someone peculiar: Priceless.

I like them a lot. They have a classic look that would rock with a tweed jacket. I can also see these being the shoes your heirs find in your closet long after you are gone. Well worn and still looking good.

Sator, I love some of your shoe designs, especially the inspiration E.G. Shannons

But I thought gunboats was another term for longwings like these

As E.T. and others confirmed, (so I'm not paranoid yet
fight[1].gif
), I can't tell if the color is Bourdeux or Cigar

I would not consider this Vass as a sleek design. Luk-chas Bespoke G&G are defintely sleek
