Holy Sh** $1350?! I foresee another Marlow GMTO going though in the not too distant future...

I would be very interested. Judging from this and the recent Alden price increase I suspect C&J will be raising prices as well. Perhaps Horween has increased their prices too. I just ordered a pair of Harlechs anticipating a price increase in the near future and the GBP getting higher.

On the other hand, you could now likely fetch a few more dollars for them . . . .

I'm glad I got in on the C&J GMTO for the Marlows (in both brown and whiskey)!

That's not a bad point. I really do like my shortwings, but they're kind of tight for me around the toes. The narrow last that C&J used for RL is a bit tight for me.

I was a part of the whiskey PTB GMTO and I feel like it has been an eternity waiting for these things!!

Not sure if anybody has suggested this, but a Cheviot 2 in dark brown shell would be amazing. Maybe I should throw the idea out there for a GMTO...

I'm not intimately familiar with RL's sales events but I wonder if they marked up the normal price so they don't have to exclude Marlows from their sales. $1000/$1350= ~75% so they could apply a 25% sale to the new price and they'd still be available at $1000 to informed buyers.

Aren't the regular Marlow Wingtips brown? Not sure why Barlow if that's the case.

I agree it seems a bit redundant, but I simply re-used the name from a GMTO with the exact same specs that originated back in September. The name is pretty insignificant however.
