Man I would love these but I don't think I could wear them to the office. Little too flashy.

Beautiful shoes, I do not think they are too flashy.

Agree.

+1. This is a pair of shoe that will look totally different on the foot. Wear them with chinos, heavy wool pants or even jeans and i bet no one will notice that it´s a spectator.

So, anyone else interested in doing an MTO of the 922 wingtip in the darker Natur Marron?

I wanted to renew an interest check in this MTO.

922 wingtip on the Rain last:

In this colour (Natur Marron):

Last time I heard we only needed one extra person to avoid the MTO costs.

^^^^^ I'm in for the 922 in Natur Marron but I think I've already been counted.

By my calculation, March/April is the perfect time for a fall MTO since Carminia's turnaround is 4-5 months.

How much? and would full payment be required upfront? or just 50%?

 

[nickrut]

How do we think the Rain wholecut model would look in Natural Chromexel? Is that color too informal to look right with a whole cut?

 

[Cuttingboard]



How much? and would full payment be required upfront? or just 50%?

I was told 50%.

This is a MTO from Skoak and from what I understand, please correct me if I'm wrong, the group MTO price is 3400 SEK (2720 SEK ex VAT), approx. $400 USD.

I might be interested, how long would the delivery time be?

It has to be atleast 6 people to be able to pay that price.

 

[Cuttingboard]

Yes, 6 people in order to not have to pay the MTO fee. So far, I believe there are 4 people. Mr. Six will know?

 

[Cuttingboard]

When we have 6 people committed we will be able to order. I remember the last MTO I participated in (suede austerity brogue), deliver time was between 3-4 months.

I am actually thinking about stocking the above wingtip for my next order with Carmina. Please PM me if you are interested! (Only if you are located here in United States! European customers please contact Skoaktiebolaget for more info! They are an amazing shop!)

Dear admin, Please do not removed this post as I am currently in process/working with Stephanie to become an affiliate vendor here at SF. Thank you very much
