Great shoe! But, I am already waiting for the group MTO of the same model in burgundy calf...


No excuse - burgundy is a different colour.

I have the same shoe inbound in navy suede - otherwise I'd jump on this. It will be gorgeous - I have a pair of Carmina navy shell wholecuts - they will do it right. Good luck with it gents.

I also already have it in tan calf... But ofcourse you're right. There are NEVER any valid excuses not to consider more shoes, right

It's the five eyelet chukka you're waiting for, completely different model. :D You know you want it! :nodding:

Fitting is pretty close to Rain, if not even slightly wider.

You're right Patrik, you're right.
Three is NOT five, and yes, I want it!

Anybody have any experience with the sand suede carmina chukkas? Are they as yellow as they appear in the photos on the site? Thanks.

Those longwings looks really nice. I wonder if anyone would be interested in doing an MTO of that model in dark cognac with double leather soles and black edge trim. It would basically be an opportunity to get an Alden-like cigar longwing, which has become extremely difficult to find.

They already had a model like that, maybe still some stock?

^ I think that was a chromexcel version. I don't see a shell version on their site, but I might have missed it.
