what is the "JR" stamp on bottom of the boot?

Stands for JR Ewing, made in Dallas.

X-post from our affiliate thread regarding a GMTO for a fur lined Derby boot. It will basically be a darker version of this model:

ORIGINAL POST:
I’m glad to see this much interest in the fur lined version.

To answer BakedPotatoe's question: I'm 98% certain it's sheep lining but I have not received verification from Carmina yet. It's a natural fiber though, not synthetic.

And yes, the whole vamp and shaft is lined.

It seems like it will be a brown grain version we’re aiming for, the rest of the specs completely the same? Please e-mail [email protected] to put on the "interest list" for this model. No deposit invoices will go out until we have decided the shade of grain.

To summarize this new GMTO project:

• Carmina model 80179 Derby boot
• Color: brown grain (exact shade to be decided)
• Double Commando sole with storm welt
• Soller last
• Fur lined
• Visible eyelets and speed hooks
• Prize: 3040 SEK ex VAT (approx. $450) - 50% deposit required
• Shipping: 300 SEK worldwide (approx. $45)
• Delivery expected : mid-March

Types of grain

Either the lighter "Camel grain" finished to a darker hue, like our Grain Jumpers:

Or the "normal" dark brown grain:

There is also a rougher grain called "karrengrain" that is available in dark brown:

I was part of the GMTO for the Dark Cognac Jumper Boots from Carmina, but due to certain circumstances I will not be able to wear these for quite a while, so I am hoping to sell them (in a sense). If anybody is interested, it would be as if you were purchasing from Skaok directly.

Here are the details:
Boot: Carmina Jumpers

Color: Dark Cognac (Note: Should be similar to the above, but may not be exact)
Last: Oscar Last (I believe this fits similarly to the Forest last)
Price: Approx. $720 - excluding VAT (This could change, but I believe it is a fairly good deal relative to other Carmina retailers)
Size: 9 UK / 10 US

Please PM me for details and / or any questions.

Thanks!

Those were my first pair of Carminas and still my favorite. The chocolate suede is perfect and goes well with almost everything. A great choice!

Nice spit shine!

Thank you! I didn't want to get a pair of patent leather shoes that I could only wear with a tux so I thought a well shined pair of plain toes balmorals would work equally well - both with a tux and elswwhere.

Of course these come out right when I get my navy shell boots.
