Any one up for a GMTO of Whiskey LWBs?

GMTO:

· Snuff suede wingtip boot
· Grant last
· Brass eyelets and speed hooks
· 360 flat welt
· Antique edge
· Sole TBD (will be either commando or double waterlock, if you’re interested in the makeup be sure to include your sole preference in your message and whether or not you’re exclusively interested in that sole choice or would be amenable to either option)
· Price: $601 ($275 deposit with balance paid when they’re ready to be shipped)
· Image: Very similar to the old Epaulet makeup (http://www.styleforum.net/content/type/61/id/2051753/) except with the Grant last and possibly a different sole

Background: A very well regarded Alden retailer is willing to take on this makeup for us (wanted to avoid naming them in the post so they don’t get spammed with requests but feel free to message me with any concerns) and we’d only need 2 to 3 more interested buyers to make this happen. To my knowledge at least, no retailer currently carries a Grant suede WTB and with Epaulet no longer carrying Aldens I don’t believe there are any other suede and brass WTBs. For widths, we have D and EE covered so I believe we have room for one more width option. If you’re interested, just send me your name, sole preference, size and email address in a PM.

Any chance in adding a few boots with those exact specs but on the Barrie last? I’ve been looking for snuff + brass for awhile, but they’re relatively uncommon. Unsure if Alden will do the same makeup on two lasts...

Unfortunately I don't believe Alden will allow for two last options. The retailer would need to do a completely separate order. Sorry man!

I'm looking for 11 people to have this Alden Aberdeen cap-toe in tobacco chamois with lug sole re-made, drop me a PM if you are interested.

I'd be interested if it was a boot.

No ones doing balmorals anymore. I’d be up for any black shell bal on plaza last. Plain toe, cap toe, perf cap, 1/4 brogue, single monk... hell yeah, single monk with silver tone buckle! Honestly, I’d take any or all of those.

How about a wholecut? B+M

Yeah I did see that. Tempted. Wholecuts are not really my cuppa joe but I do keep going back to look at that one in particular and the only reason is, plaza last.

Talk to Yenni. I bet she can arrange a Bal in black shell.

Yeah, they seem the most amenable to doing bals from anyone I’ve seen. It used to be Leather Soul but it’s been a while. It’s great we have so many blucher and derby makeups, so I don’t want to discourage those. But yeah I’ll mention it to her. I have a scotch LWB makeup due in a few weeks anyway.

Not sure if this is still an active page but what I would gladly pay for is doing a pebbled shell cordovan wingtip in black, brown, and #8 WITH MATCHING BELTS, and I'd be willing to settle for the belt in leather but would prefer shell. Maybe do one every four months? I think the price would be 800 to 1000 a shoe and the belt I'd be willing to go from 15 to 190 for leather and 250 to 350 for matching shell. Storm welted, double JR sole, black edging for black, brown for brown, and either black or chestnut for #8.

Anyone up for doing a GMTO for this same loafer makeup (Color 8 on Plaza last). I missed on my size in the Leffot special order so looking to get a GMTO going.
