A Fine Pair of Shoes x Alfred Sargent MTO Thread

[Joshua Lee]

Yea I know what your saying but you have to realize that the finishing on AS is fantastic in comparison. The AS are made to handgrade qualifications and the carmina are benchgrade. Huge different in finishings/quality/durability. I really enjoy my AS Millers and I would be super interested in another boot by AS

The only concern I have going with AS is their requirement of 15 people compared to 6 from Carmina. I'd love to try their brand of shoes for an MTO, but not quite sure the goal can be reached soon.

I'd be interested in an MTO for a Miller boot. But getting 15 people on board is ambitious.

I may be interested too depending on the final configuration of the boot. Let's start counting the votes.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe these MTOs offer the chance to order from the AS Handgrade line but made to their "Exclusive" standard hence the price break. I was in on the Blake order and think they're great so nothing against the final product. My vote would be for one of the Oxfords on the 48 last; I don't expect that to garner much support though...

I would be interested in a 2 tone bal boot in a lighter cognac shell with a suede shaft. My miller is on 724 last and it is a perfect boot IMO. Anyone interested? We just need 14 more! LOL

I think AS still makes Handgrade level for Cleverley. I have a pair from Cleverley made for Anderson & Sheppard that looks to be made by AS. Has bevelled waist, chiseled toe, etc...

I've heard that Edward Green makes the top end Cleverley shoes - can anyone confirm or deny?

We made it!

10 for Burgundy
4 for Oak

7 days left, still plenty of time for the Oak colour to catch up.

People should still order their preferred colour, as AFPOS will contact each buyer to ask if he wants to move the deposit over if the number has not been meet, or get the full refund.

I ordered both Burgundy and Oak.

Last day coming up for the Alfred Sargent Moore GMTO

10 x Burgundy Moore and 5 x Oak Moore

A very good effort from everyone, hopefully a few last minute sign ups. People should still order their preferred colour, as AFPOS will contact each buyer to ask if he wants to move the deposit over if the number has not been meet, or get the full refund.

Both Burgundy and Oak Moore will now go through, AFPOS has agreed to fill up the difference in the gaps in Oak!

Sarah will finalise numbers on Sunday evening and process the order for Monday, so there are a couple extra days if there are any more interested parties.

This Alfred Sargent GMTO has been a great forum experience.

Hi Gentlemen

Final numbers came in, I have collated the dates with numbers committed. It is quite clear that a lot of people is placing orders in the last minute for financial reasons, so please don't be swayed by the low commits in the first two of weeks for future GMTOs. If you like a certain style and colour and it's within your budget, don't be afraid of placing a refundable deposit. It's a group effort and everyone's orders count and encourages others to place an order when they see a lot of other people are buying.

Orders will be reconfirmed to all participants today and ordered with AS as soon as we have full agreement. Sarah will email everyone to reconfirm their details and orders, please respond to her email asap then we can get this placed asap.

Finally, I like to thank all the members and non members that participated in the GMTO, and a big thank you to AFPOS for supporting both, especially agreeing to help out the Oak option.
