@Leaves - Sorry, but just to clarify, the tobacco suede extended strap loafer you mentioned a while back is going to be a production run and not a GMTO, correct?

+1 (just sign in for this) Hello everybody from Italy

So with @Duke Silver thats three people interested in a tobacco suede loafer. Must be three others somewhere!

What was the final decision on the makeup for this? Full-strap or half-strap? T Last? I'm definitely interested, but this thread has been moving fast since the release and it's hard to keep up.

Is the half-rubber sole added on top of the leather sole, or is the entire forefront of the sole made from rubber? Sounds like it could be quite a flexible sole with good grip.

We are live with the Löf & Tung Abreau Tobacco Full Strap Loafer GMTO. Not technically the first GMTO CLTesquire but may well be the first one to reach minimum 6 participants!

Done. Now just need to fast forward to September. Thanks @Leaves

The thread has been moving so fast these couple of day that I overlooked these. Please bump if you don't see me answering any of your questions.

Hey @Leaves
Will you folks be restocking the Enzo Bonafe Museum Adelaide? I missed it for the 2nd year in a row (size 8.5uk)...

Thanks!

Yes. we might just have to. Those went fast. Email [email protected] and I'll make a note of your email and size.

Can you guys do lazy man with L&T?

Probably missed, but any plan for lazyman?

You know I love a good Lazyman. I might have more LZYO's than anyone else on the planet (well probably not, but maybe top 5). It's a bit of an unhealthy obsession. A Löf & Tung Lazyman's Oxford is in development. But I gotta get it right. Can't be just any Lazyman.

Hello @Leaves,

First, allow my to extend my congratulations for launching you line of shoes. I'm sure a ton of hard work went into the process. My question is regarding whether in GMTOs you are able to accommodate split-sized feet (e.g. 9UK left, 8.5UK right). Is this possible?

Thanks!

Thank you! Sorry, not in a GMTO but for a single MTO, yes.

Man that Garnet will make a statement shoe. Stunning

Indeed. Indeed.

Thanks. Do you have a picture of the cognac bison?

I have one somewhere but I misplaced it. It is very similar to the StC one, although we do not have the same source.

Look at the side view here. Looks similar to the tomir sole they had for Carmina shoes

Yes it's very, very similar as the Carmina ones. Must be same supplier but I can't confirm.

Thank God I'm not alone in this obsess- I mean, hobby.

Will we be seeing some Löf & Tung splittoes and longwings come autumn?

So much hype, so many discussions, feels like the good old days

Speaking of split toes any chance we can get a reverse split with piecrust like a dover

Would be nice to have option for a L&F split toe shoe similar to Dover on the hatch grain or Utah grain.

Longwing is incoming in Mahogany Grain (as seen on the Löf & Tung Gessi) this fall.

This was my very intention with Löf & Tung. Let's bring the Golden Age back.

Can't do a piecrust, will have to be a skin stitch. At some point I'm going to force the Spanish and Italian to make a proper reverse split.

There are some Split Toe designs in development.

Skin stitch like the Enzo faux stitch recently?

I remember the discussion occurring back when the Bonafé split tor came out but honestly do not know (but would like to!) the difference between a skin stitch and piecrust apron. I’m assuming the latter is harder and more expensive to make happen.

Yes exactly.

 

[djdanniedee]

I recently picked up the EB faux split toe and it wasn't till then that i understood the differences between it and the Dover. EB's split isn't really a split. It's stitched under without piercing the front of the leather, but you see and feel the indents from the stitching so it does have the same effect. The Dover is 2 leathers stitched together, so a real split toe. The apron however is stitched differently. The Dover's apron is stitched to almost look like a pie, hence piecrust. It's almost flat where it's stitched together, whereas EB the leather sticks up (lack of better explaining).
Personally i like the piecrust apron better but in regards to the split toe part, i don't feel its much of a difference between real split toe or faux split toe.
