Tricker's MTO - Forum group buy

[mr chorizo]



Hello Everyone,I asked Richard from Shoehealer about colours for the binding and he told me that pink is not available.The available colours are
C shade,Navy blue,black,mushroom,coffee,red,dark green,mid-brown,dark brown and white.
Incidentally,he said a group of Trickers/Shoehealer Monkey boots will be shown on their website this Wednesday.There will be several colours but very limited numbers for each colour.

i think navy blue, tan (mushroom?) or white probably, no?

Hi Mr.Chorizo,
I forgot to mention in my last message that Richard suggested sticking with white binding rather than a contrasting binding in the "wrong" shade.I don't think another colour would be possible anyway,given that we can only have 2 colours/materials.
I'd be happy with a white leather brogue on the 4444 last,tan lining,pink suede heel,pink or blue pull-tab and Commando soles.I'd prefer brown soles but I could live with black!The eyelets and laces in white and a natural leather Barbour welt would be fine with me but I wouldn't want white suede anywhere on the shoe,for reasons of practicality.
Anyone else out there interested?

Hello figured I'd ask here to see if I could spark any interest. Would there be a group of people interested in a Tricker's MTO of a shoe similar to one built by LS a year or so back the Keswick for Denim model. I'll post a couple images below to refresh your memory, and if we get enough interest I can get in contact with everyone and get more concrete details about the build.

I would be interested.

Cool CHRK33 2/6 with potential interest. I was just thinking these might look extra sharp with brass eyelets too.

Brass eyelets sound good to me. Maybe a lighter edge trim as well.

looks like we are making some progress 3/6 half way haha....And keep the input coming on small mods or opinions on the build.

my one off MTO seem to have arrived on the shoe healer FB page. Will of course post better pics when they arrive.

pebble grain/cordovan longwing. storm welt, commando sole. matched eyelets. blue lining/pulltab

i would have preferred the shell everywhere but the vamp.

what colors were you thinking?

We are looking at the color combo I posted a few posts above two tone Blue and Coffee Burnished. Still brainstorming slight tweaks brass eyelets, lighter edge trim, pull tab...I think this should have good appeal as it's a very wearable color combination but unique at the same time.

New MTO ideas:

As suggested by zippyh:
Last: 4444
Color: Navy Calf
Welt: Natural barbour welt
Eyelets: Brass
Sole: Red dainite

Comments:
I prefer other color for the sole, I'm indifferent for materials, but recently I bought few pairs with red dainite, but I know I have been convinced to get red dainite few times.

I'm sure for upper color, there'll be more ideas, I don't have navy blue boots yet, so this is still game for me, if we're looking for late summer delivery we can have suede boots or something similar.

Edit: New insight from Pitti
New dainities...

See leather options (blue pebble grain on vamps below)

I had just emailed Richard over the weekend about a navy Stow, but I like this better. I agree on the sole--I'd probably prefer blue Dainite, but red wouldn't be a deal-breaker.

The Navy Dainite could look really cool I was wanting to do a color, but thought red would be too random for since it was a two tone shoe already the new soles from Pitti solve that issue. We got the interest head count up to 4/6 people in a couple days things are looking good. Once we hit the required 6 people I'll get in contact with shoe healer and get the costs and stuff for the build and hopefully we can get this little MTO rolling.
