The MH71 last is beautiful, particularly the toe. I saw the Sinatra wholecuts on this last and the shape of the toe is simply exquisite for a wholecut. I'm not sure how it would look on the St. James II, but it looked damn beautiful on those Sinatras!

Sinatra is wicked on TG73 last at least from soak site. I have not seen them on other last but I am sure they are awsome looking.

Quick question what is the difference between TG73 last vs MH71 I ask because I have TG73 last & love it. If I go with MH71 will it fit the same?


TG73 toe is more sharply chiseled. If TG73 fits, MH71 will most likely fit you too.

@stevent I believe someone said shark somewhere?

Bespoke Bonafé Chukkas in Brown Shark

That was me! I also mentioned stingray, in case Bonafe has it too?

Would love a loafer in either shark or stingray.

How does one rock gray / silver shoes? I’m guessing mostly with brown pants? I presume this is definitely not something worn in the office M-Th
Any in-the-wild pictures?

On a side note, unless I'm the only one whose luck ran out, here's a blank import form
when importing from Skoak to the US via FedX. You may want to get familiar with it.

^^ Usually FedEx emails us and we sort everything out. I dunno why they contact clients directly sometimes. We are very meticulous with our paper work. Please don't make it sound like it's complicated to order by FedEx because usually it's not. For every courier, there are always people who can tell some horror story. At least FedEx has never lost a package for us and then just tell us to sod off like USPS has done several times.

Usually if FedEx wants the receiver to fill something out, we try to fix it for them. PM me if you have any issues. Thanks.

I don't think I made it sound that way & certainly didn't intend to.
I've dealt with USF&W on deliveries before but it's the first time I've seen anything directly from a carrier, especially FedX.
With no idea if this form was to become SOP for deliveries from FedX or not, it's better to know what it is when it shows up than not.

It wasn't a big deal and took all of 2 minutes to handle with a return email that says everything is hunky dory.
Are there implications from it ? No idea and don't particularly care. If they're cracking down on imports, they're cranking down on imports.

Cool, thanks for clarifying.

It's funny how US Customs and Border Protection seems to be sticklers with the commercial couriers. Maybe there's some kinda vendetta going on. I'd love to hear some conspiracy theories. But maybe in a different thread.

Lovely pair of chukkas.
How are they holding up?
Would you consider a boot makeup in this?

I have gotten that paper also from fedex but it's filled out normally and you don't have any worries from soak and other company also. Surprised to see they gave you that blank like that.

You get that paper even when your package is delivered by USPS. Skoak is very good at filling out paperwork, I have had any problems for over two or three :embar: dozen of packages I received form them.

That might be just mistake on FEDEX part.
