But before we get ahead of ourselfs... Lets see what pepe says. F.stead may have that in the copper color as well and just do not advertise it.

But either way lets see what Pepe says first.

Did you get any response from Pepe?
And does anyone have any visibility on the new Park last yet?

Are we going ahead with the MTO now that the park last is out?

 

[leetpuma]

Are we going ahead with the MTO now that the park last is out?

We will but pepe needs to reply to us first.

I emailed him again about 2 days ago. I will try again if I have not heard back by monday.

The other mto I think has not heard back from pepe recently. They are just preparing for the MTO to get the info out ASAP.

 

[leetpuma]

Oh and another thing about rushing to order.

The park last looks nice. But nothing has been said "officially" about how it fits with respect to the current last sets.

• Is it similar to an Hiro or Olfe or New Ray?
• Is it less tapered in the toe box than X last?
• Is it low instep? <- Crucial to allowing the shoe to not have heal slip for many folks
• etc.

So since their are many people in this MTO looking at Park, being misinformed before the order maybe disastrous. I will try to get more answers.

But if enough of you just want to go ahead with the order I am willing to grab all the info like the other MTO and set things up. I just think it would be good to wait for a time till more concrete info makes it out.

 

[leetpuma]

I have sent Pepe another Email. Lets hope he replies now. His responce times have been getting even more slow than usual

OPEN SPOILER TO SEE EMAIL:

GENERAL QUESTIONS:
1) For the belt I have 3-4 folks asking for them. They seem to be sizes 32in, 34in, 34in, 39in
2) What will be the additional cost of the suede belt?
3) What tannery is the LM copper suede sourced from?


GENERAL STATUS:
1) The MTO currently stands at around 14 +/- 2 people.
2) I have all the emails and am ready to send them to you at any time.

------------------------------
SHOE SPECIFICS:

As of now it seems like the MTO will basically be:
1) Leather Soles
2) Brogued captoe, just like the picture: http://cdn.styleforum.net/d/d4/d43f8168_image.jpeg
3) Copper Suede (reverse calf - higher quality LM suede)
4) Peaked Heal Counters
5) Olfe/Park Lasts (about 7 park's and 2 olfe's)
6) Adelaide form factor, just like the picture: http://cdn.styleforum.net/d/d4/d43f8168_image.jpeg
7) Red shoe lining
8) Initials with brass nails on sole
9) Phrase on window in lining of shoe
10) Medium brown sole edge------------------------------
--------------------------------------

The whole shoe will looking nearly exactly like ( with red calf lining):

Pepe he just replied to me saying that he would get back to me about things.

Hopefully with more info about the park for us

Pepe's Reply:

Quote: The park last is made from scratch, is not another version of one of our current lasts. The fitting is similar to the Olfe last, instead is a bit higher.

2) Would it be possible to source higher quality suede for this MTO like: Janus Butt calfskin? This sude looks to be much thicker with tighter fibers than normal Janus Calfskin.

Janus butt skin is a thick suede with a short nap, not suitable for producing dress shoes, more suitable for unlined moccasins or casual shoes. We did used it years a go to produce more casual shoes. Apart from that, at the moment we are not able to source it at the moment, for elevate minimum quantities and delivery times.


GENERAL QUESTIONS:
1) For the belt I have 4-5 folks asking for them. They seem to be sizes 32in, 34in, 34in, 39in
For the moment, with the skins we have available we are not able to offer you matching belts. Sorry for the inconveniences. If I receive a new batch of hides and there is a skin suitable for it I’ll let you know.
2) What will be the additional cost of the suede belt?
The price for a 35mm Copper suede belt would be 60€(VAT incl.) with solid brass buckles.
3) What tannery is the LM copper suede sourced from?
Currently we prefer to not share where we are sourcing the copper reverse calf, since it is very difficult to source this kind of leather nowadays. I am sorry about that, but what I can tell you it is produced by a very respected & renowed italian tannery.


General Results:
- We are going with copper suede.
- Park and olfe are the same size.
- Belt's I am still confused by. Ill take sizes and ill let pepe decide if he is charing you for them.

 

[leetpuma]

Ok so everyone that I think sent me an email now has gotten an request for this MTO.

If you have not PM me ASAP.

(For those belt people I think you have to assume you are not getting a belt. If you say you would like a belt, if the hides show up in the next few months Pepe may add it to your order at that time.)

 

[leetpuma]

This MTO will be ending soon (24-36 hours) so please make sure you have your emails in. (I have gotten 7-8 orders atm so to MTO is a go.)

 

[drama]

My order was updated - it will be shipped within 20 days!

 

[JARB]

Mine too, delivery within 20 days and the belt was added to the order now

 

[coppersuede]

Mine has not been updated yet, will post when it does.

Now I really regret not taking the belt as well! Will probably email and ask them if I can add it to my order, if they have any spare suede.
