VASS and Epaulet MTO & Group Buy Thread

[Beatlegeuse]



Does anyone have any pics of the new gold museum calf from Haas tannery - Vaas' new museum calf supplier?

I think the MTO gold museum calf double monks are being shipped soon - if they haven't already - so those should be ready to ship to customers pretty soon. I'm sure Epaulet will post up some pics as soon as they get them.

Who is up for a GMTO of this split toe boot? Let's get it organized now for a fall delivery!

Here are my thoughts but I am totally open and would love to know what others think:

- New Peter last
-Welted ( I think Goyser stitching may be too bulky)
Single leather sole (could go double)
- Oxblood (1st choice) or antique or dark cognac

I believe this is the antique cognac.



here is a recent representation of the Oxblood color

Considering the available option of going individual MTO, what is the decisive advantage of doing a GMTO?

Any word on the Vass MTOs from last November?

 

[sacafotos]

Is @Epaulet no longer doing these? Or, when is the next round?

I'd love to see the golden museum calf double monks and the Alt Wien boots, if anyone has shots wearing them.

How would you guys rate the quality vs Alden?

shop shots of the boot mentioned + an extra real life photos when they land if anyone is interested.

Look great! Thanks for posting

Those boots are ridiculous. Deets on pricing

 

[sacafotos]

Wow, would love to see the boots worn and also a top down shot. What color are they? Looks to be oxblood.

Agree, please offer us any info on pricing. This looks like a dressier Plaza NST boot.

This thread has been dormant for way too long! Anyone want to get some GMTO's going??

It does not look like Epaulet carries Vass shoes anymore.

Ys, they do. I believe it will be more MTo and GMTO than RTW but they absolutely still carry them.

 

[Beatlegeuse]

GMTOs seem to be pretty slow. I ordered the museum calf DMs a while ago and I think it will still be a few more months before they're ready, most likely one year from order date to delivery date.

Wow, really? @NAMOR recently did a few MTO's directly with Vass and it took like 8 weeks or less
