Could have been done without the seam, but I happen to like that seam......

I have an Ercolino without the seam and a Koronya with the seam. I can't tell the difference when I wear them nor I'll bet can anyone else.

I meant that I like the look of the seam. If you look closely at the picture from the back in the other thread, you will even notice that there is no punching where the ear of the seam lies. As the shoes are lined, it is close to impossible to feel any difference when wearing the shoes. Adrian

I've always lusted over these on G&G's bespoke gallery.

They are amazing up close and personal. The engraving is out of this world.

There's just something about this.

Some inter-specie Appreciation...

I can't decide if I like G&G's version or Delos' version better. Maybe I'll have to get both.

Oh my Lord!

What is the material? It is his English Grain or something more exotic?

Excellent quality pics, The best taken so far of a G&G trunk show

I am sure over the years I will aquire almost all their sample shoes. Some are so simple yet so great, like the laser wholecut or the mottled maple wholecut with the 2/1 punch across the throat and sides. I quite fancy that with a peak cap done with the punching. Those suede side gussets are awesome, I am hoping my MTO comes out close (i don't really wanna spend top dollar on suede)
