Love the regency. Isham seems overdone.

Would be in for mh71

 

[agedashidofu]

Would be in for TG73

 

[justinkapur]

Are we abondoning the Thorpe idea?
I would be in for it

 

[Pbayvip]



I think a single leather kudu is as discrete as it gets as the leather is already accentuated in colour and texture. Two tone would be too gaudy. Isham Isham!

My thoughts exactly about the possible two-tone makeup. Therefore, I am still rooting for Thorpe, although it seems that Isham is gaining bigger momentum.

I think the majority is leaning towards Isham. But we should have enough for two, possibly three make ups.

Regarding the Walkton being proposed, I have never handled Kudu so do you think it will handle the style, broguing and medallion well? I found only a picture of a blue lodger boot with medallion/broguing using google.

Also is Isham going to be MH71 again? How about GG06?

I think my preference would be for the MH71 on the Isham.

Isham Proposed MTO

Specs:
Price: ~ 8800 SEK ex-vat or over? (kudu upcharge?)
Model: Isham
Color: Rosewood Kudu / Deep Vintage Cherry
Last: MH71 or GG06
Sole: Oak Bark Sole

I think we are close enough that we just need confirmation on widths and presences for Last. I will be out of the net today so please copy and paste when updating your widths and preferences for Last. Also would anybody else be willing to go with a Dainite sole? This however would not kill the deal for me.



@dddrees E MH71 Dainite if possible

@bumblebee GG06

 

[JubeiSpiegel]

I'm glad I could make the decision more difficult for everyone...lol

 

[grc1]

Isham on MH71, 9.5E confirmed. Happy to go with either oak bark (with toe tips), wensum or dainite. Navy lining preferred, but happy to go with the flow.

 

[whyriver]

Isham on mh71 E-width pls.

 

[Bumble_Bee]



I think my preference would be for the MH71 on the Isham.

I am ok either Isham in MH71 or one of the round lasts. Just not TG73 in pretty much anything lol.

Width E.

Up to group:
1) Sole, although already getting a pair of isham in single oak bark.
2) Color of edging
3) Color of shoelaces
4) Color of lining

For the Isham, can we use Dainite, exactly as on the pair posted here? I think a single leather sole would look unbalanced.
