Tricker's MTO - Forum group buy

[mothball]

Sorry, boomtime, my above comment on the navy Dainite was meant for the boot MTO rkusmant had mentioned. I'd like to be in on yours as well, though. My apologies for not being clear.

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.

Blue dainite works for me too.

It's all good Mothball...happy your interested in the build. Just need one or two more takers and we should be good to go. Been talking with SH today sounds like the build time would be standard and our design so far isn't anything they can't handle in terms of combinations.

Just making a interest list...let me know if I left you off we are looking to get 6 people on board

Mr. Chorizo?

I'll pass on blue dainite for the boots. Ok if it's red, black or brown.

 

[rkusmant]

I think brown dainite might be a good compromise.

Navy calf or pebbled navy?

Need one more participant....

Brown Dainite works for me, and I would definitely prefer the navy calf over the pebbled.

Im in pebbled navy

Brown works for me.

Either smooth or pebbled works too.

Hi All,
trying to revive the white calf bourton MTO with contrast pink suede heel counter.

I was in grahme fowler today and they have this a white calf bourton and it looked awesome...i think that pink suede counter would be an awesome pop.

In revision, I actually think this would work better as on a stow boot, that way the pop is a little smaller in relation to the whole of the boot. add a pink pull tab and you have a seriously natty shoe for spring summer

Hello Everyone,
I am very sorry to be a spoilsport but I'm afraid Trickers do not do a blue pebble leather.Richard from SH confirmed this for me last week.I have a pair of shoes in coffee burnished leather and they are much darker than the LS shoes in the photograph,which look closer to Gold M.C. calf.

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

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

New dainities...

See leather options (blue pebble grain on vamps below)

So now it's ...
No medallion Eaton
4444
Smooth navy calf.
Natural barbour welt
Brass eyelets
Brown dainite

Pull tabs?
Lining?
Something interesting for the tongue? Navy suede?

would be down for this in an "austerity" eaton for sure.

 

[rkusmant]

I think we have 6 now, when I'm back home I'll go through previous posts.

I'm indifferent about lining/pulltabs/tongue, just a note, when using suede tongue, you can't have gusset tongue.

Wanted to float this Chukka MTO again to see if there was any interest. Adding a better image that I did a quick Photoshop on to show the color and sole combo + an image of what the style looks like on. Waxy grey suede chukka...what could be better??

Also updated the pull tab to cream, could go w/o a pull as well.
