i like black pebble, but it's a staple in europe...Originally Posted by fritzl
who made them?
You got me, they are MTO but not specified by me. I was not in the right condition to be ordering MTO shoes when these were made, ~40-60 years ago.
Most likely made by J&M for sale through private label shop.

Looking forward to seeing pics of the result as I was thinking of trying something like that, although it would likely involve acetone or other agents to strip some colour in certain areas and speed up the process.

went a bit crazy and got two pairs of shoes that might be too similar...do you guys think these are different enough to warrant keeping both? Paul Smith Nash
John Lobb Brackley
the PS are dip-dyed black, the JL are black museum (kinda hard to see the mottling in the pic, but it's there)
