Quick mock-up of a Judhpur and Regency monk (thought it was the Mitchell, sorry) in rosewood kudu:

Skoak already did a tan kudu Isham, but a rosewood kudu version might look like this:

Thoughts gents?

I would be down for St. James two tone but only if it's TG73.

What about the TG73? A bigger toe box compared to MH71 (from pictures I see, seems to be the case) ?

Am new to GG sizing & I have been admiring the St James all this while; so I am sort of eyeing this discussion.

I wear rain & forest lasted oxfords presently and am happy with the fit.

Wow ! That's the one I want !!!!

 

[stevent]

Any chance of a photo of swatch of new kudu next to tan kudu?

I don't have a horse in the race but I would think the Isham best suits the material.

 

[dddrees]

Anybody willing to use Dainite as the sole on the Isham or is this out of the question for most folks?

the Isham is nice too (i'd still consider being a part of that too) but it is still so similar to the thorpe and we could see some great variety with some of the other shoes like Walkton, St. James II or the monk straps that have been mentioned.

 

[bespoken pa]

Rothschild is a sweet shoe.

 

[TtownMD]



Great! How about on the St James, walkton, or gable?

Those would work also bud
