Skoaktiebolaget – Enzo Bonafé, Saint Crispin’s, Löf & Tung

I was really close to picking them up, but they were not available in my size and really hard to justify the price.

@Levaes or Olof mentioned that you could get a pony leather MTO in L&T... I think a barbera in pony leather would be about as good, but cost 1/3...

Got a chance to visit the Skoak store in person this weekend. Great Experience

 

[ThinkDerm]

the thread here has been silent. when do they return from sommar?

I’ll contribute: somebody talk me into/out of the EB Wholecuts.

I assume I’d take the same size in the 946 as I do for the 062?

I’d like to see some interesting EB GMTOs in the near future. It’s been dead for a long time.

Same here. Some of my favorite shoes were from EB GMTO 2016/17. Skoak had some of the coolest EB make ups back then. Also Skoak had some very nice RTW make ups during that time period.

Agreed it would be nice to see this thread get up and running again. I assume there will be some more fall drops soon (boots!). I have to imagine that Leaves is focused more on L&T lately (which is not a bad thing) and working other angles given that the "golden age" is over. It may well be that SF is not generating the same returns that it once did. I could be totally wrong though and don't presume to know any of this.

I dont think it has to do with SF. If you take a look at the AE and Carmina thread its generating a lot of traffic on a daily basis. AE thread has been on fire lately.

^ Fair enough.

My other gripe is that sizes for a lot of recent drops have been limited to smaller ones, so I just haven’t been able to give them any of my money.

@Leaves when does the new loafer last launch for L&T? when do the new makeups drop? mid-October? I'm assuming they are stockpiling new L&T since it takes a few weeks and the factory just re-opened.

Summer is long gone here, this morning was 1.5 centigrade in the southern suburbs of Stockholm. It's basically chords and jumper season already I think most of them for that reason went to the Permanent Style popup to in London last weeks to get away from it all

Both fit very similar, 946 is a slightly shorter last, but on the inside it is just as roomy as the 062.

I was rocking my single MTO boots from Enzo that I got through you guys. They are absolutely perfect; they don't quite fit perfectly, but they are fine. My feet don't hurt after a full day of wear so it'll work out just fine.

With these many interested, should be a breeze to get a GMTO up.

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
