They are quite understaffed right now due to Covid-19, so I would not worry. You can always ping @Leaves here if you're wondering anything.

They are generally super fast, so it's out of the ordinary that they haven't replied yet.

Yea, I figured they were understaffed like most businesses so I wasn't too worried after not hearing back after a couple days. I might just reach out to them here, thanks!

It's the height of Swedish holidays as well.

by the way do you have a good picture of Kudu burgendy from EB? not sure which of the google one is accurate

74945 should be OK, it's a fairly sleekish last but not as sharp as let's say the 946.

I'd a specific pair of a SF member in mind but my memory served me wrong, they're brown, and I realise that the leather would probably not be in everyone's taste for this model.

Photo bluntly stolen from @scubajose. Will totally steal the specs too when I can make it to a trunk show.

I'd be in for pretty much any grain leather, but hatch, that's not too light in colour.

EB generally uses the Kudu waxi leathers; there's really not a burgundy of what I can remember, but there's a beautiful purple one.

 

[clee1982]

so what kind of grain you have in mind?

 

[clee1982]

say something like what CJ has (not sure what the closest EB would be)

Ashdown Dark Brown Country Calf

Ashdown, a plain fronted derby shoe, made from the finest dark brown country grain leather and featuring a storm welt with studded Dainite rubber soles. From the Men's Main Collection.

Pembroke Dark Brown Scotch Grain

Pembroke, our classic full brogue country-style derby shoe with wing tip design and punching detail. Made from the finest dark brown scotch country grain with Dainite rubber soles and a storm welt for added waterproof protection. From the Men's Main Collection.

I'm not sure what's available, but from the EB mto central thread (https://www.styleforum.net/threads/enzo-bonafÉ-mto-and-gmto-central.504550/) I think the inca grain and the fandango leathers look great and quite refined. I'd favor dark brown or burgundy, and probably inca grain.

Edit: yes, something similar to that would be great.

Is it possible to source Zug grain? Then I’d be keen on a proper winter-ready GMTO Kingsley with Zug grain, storm welt, and Ridgeway sole, if anyone else is interested

@jctune @knappabn @krspdla @winghus @YWT

Given @Leaves confirmed that Zug grain will have to wait until a test run of it in production, is there any interest in the same make-up but with Lof & Tung's Dark Brown Country Calf from last winter's shearling-lined model? I also have a preference for the T last, given I have them in Utah Calf already, and they are both handsome and comfortable.

Not for me unfortunately, I went with these as a winter boot.

There's a lower version, called the York, that does not have the zipper.

I've been considering them, but I got too god damn many boots.

No, sorry, EB only.

Anyone having luck trying to contact them? I've emailed them a couple times the past few days regarding an MTO I want to comission but so far no dice....

We are more or less fully staffed (online) soyou should have an answer within 12 h usually. Check your spam-folder if not.

Nothing as of yet, my last email was a little over 24 hours ago. I’ll send a follow up one.
