I’ve had my eyes set on the Gessi and I’m very glad I finally pulled the trigger. My biggest surprise was that the shoes came today, as I ordered them some time Monday afternoon (NY - Eastern time). I recently got back from work so the photos I took are not the greatest but I hope they are helpful


This is how the T last compares to other pairs of Carmina’s I have. The loafers are forest, the nst is soller and the cap toe is rain. Fit wise all 3 carmina lasts are great, I think the soller is the most comfortable out of the 3. I went with my carmina size on the LT ptb and I have no regrets, the shoes fit very well.

I also threw in a comparison to an Alden ptb (I dont really know which last) but its pretty clear that the LT last is a bit more refined.

Also I wanted to note that the minor creases were a result of me wearing the shoes for a few mins, the shoes actually came in flawless condition.

I really look forward to wearing them, thank you skoak! This was my first purchase from you but certainly not the last

Those are wonderfully beautiful! The shape the last contours out towards in the sweep is elegant and strong looking. An extremely handsome shoe with a very dignified profile. The texture of the grain leather looks fantastic and adds a layer of sophistication and gentlemanly intrigue. I can’t tell exactly if it’s Havanna grain, or something darker like Oak grain with some light being reflected causing it to appear lighter.

These look like they would be equally at home on cobble, in emerald country, or under urban city skies. Thanks for the pictures! It helps to learn and see what’s out there for future choices. Especially nice profiles that give a good sense of scale like these.

So would anybody be interested in Group MTO for Gessi in different leather or color? For example Cognac Country Calf or maybe Utah calf or some other leather if @Leaves can acquire it. That Bonafe latigo printed leather looks really good.

There is a alpine leather in black http://www.aacrack.co.uk/leather-type/embossed/small-pattern/alpine-black-12-14.html

Scotchgrain http://www.aacrack.co.uk/leather-type/embossed/small-pattern/angus-firml-acorn-047-12-14.html

AA Crack has beautiful pin grain leather in several colors, http://www.aacrack.co.uk/catalogsearch/result/?q=grain
Or something from https://tarnsjogarveri.com/wip/en/leather

@Leaves

Any plans to do a Carlos Santos or LT black balmoral boot this year?

Thanks!

 

[knappabn]

I might be interested in a LT Gessi GMTO in pin grain, but I’d also like to see some regular leather loafers and some EB GMTOs as well.

@Leaves
Any Enzo Bonafe new collection anytime soon?

 

[Blastwice]

@Leaves Any update on the L&T Gatoraides? I feel like it's been a long time, but then again maybe Sept. was the scheduled delivery?

There will be some very nice L&T Balmoral boots incoming this fall, I finished the prototype early this summer.

@Leaves

Third week of August or around that time.

Thanks for sharing your experiences! And for the kind words! I wholeheartedly appreciate all the feedback.

I wish I had a way with words like this, the product descriptions on the website would be som much better. Thank you!

Are you releasing, by any chance, a plain Santos field boot for this coming winter?

 

[Leaves]

Would anyone be interested in a GMTO boot like this? This is a prototype I made for @laufer on the T last. Basically it's a boot version of Gessi. Can also be ordered with fur lining.

I'm going to get a pair for myself and a friend so we only need 4 more. I'm down for either fur lined or plain.
