Cannot believe I am about to say this but after following this thread I "may" prefer the thorpe to the Nevis.

I can't remember exactly when they were stopped, but they were halted after the Nevis GMTO went through.

I voted for almond CC on the poll maybe we should re-poll?

At this point I'd rather get the lighter colored Thorpe.

it probably would be easier to just have someone post the pictures of each one in contention and then people can vote here.

lol, is this the mahogany nevis gmto? this makeup has eluded me. i spent 3 months trying to organize this mto without any success. finally 6 months later we go 7-8 to join?!? and then I completely forget to pay.

:brick:

^ this is how i feel. im not angry though, just really disappointed


Shocked. :wow: you're kidding, there was a month long window to pay for it and @dddrees was spamming the gmto nonstop during that time so it's not like you didn't get the memo. This would never happen to a real boot fan :stirpot:

I like to think of it not as spamming but advertising. LOL



Besides in the end isn't this the reason the Mahogany CC Nevis was able to get the remaining numbers to become a reality?

That major difference between the Nevis amd Thorpe is the just the shape of the apron correct? Aside from the obvious difference in lasts.

Does anyone have the ability to post a photo of a nevis and thorpe side by side?

I prefer the Thorpe. For me it's the additional stitching on the sides that really make it for me

I tens to agree with you on this one, GG sizes like EG? I also think I prefer the blind eyelets, they do GMTO correct. Sorry for all the ?s I haven't really considered GG seriously as generally their aesthetics are too forward for me.
