Those wells are awesome. Very unique. Great pickup, I'm jelly

Pics of my pick-ups

Wells, Chestnut Hatch Grain, MH71 last

Arran, Vintage Oak, MH71 last

Side view of Arran double leather sole for JubeiSpiegel

Both of those are absolutely fantastic, I'm extremely jealous. Those Arran's with double sole are perfection.

If the price was right I'd be down. I don't have a PTB (although those aren't really bluchers).

Is the chestnut hatch grain really orangey? I generally hate orange tans but that one looks like a rich lighter brown with more red than orange if that makes any sense. Might just be the lighting.

That PTB is pretty nice. Always wanted one.

Same as my sinatras (e), but wouldn't have minded a g if there was one. Can probably tighten lacing a bit more and they do stretch a bit. If nothing else, I don't think I will have a big problem turning it here or on eBay for 250.

What size are they? if they end up not working out I may very well be interested

8.5E. Dean thought they would stretch and also offered to stretch them for me so think I'm holding on to them. The Mrs loves them for some reason...

I think the question should be, why wouldn't she love them

Seeing all these pictures makes me even more annoyed that I won't be back in London until Monday, worst timing ever!

Went back today as I heard a rumour Timothy Everest had restocked.

Thought that whilst I was there I'd check out what was left in the G&G room... and ended up buying another pair.

Will post a new picture a bit later when I get home but to whet your whistle, they're a pair of Mayfair double monks in vintage cherry on the TG73.

As an FYI there are still some shoes left and some absolute gems in 8 - 8.5 too - would love to be the owner of the Rothschild in midnight blue that hadn't found a home yet - this was an 8.5E (unfortunately just a little too tight for my feet).

Bought a couple of pieces from Everest too. No suits, which is what I was hoping for but did get another white shirt, camel jacket and bespoke trousers.

I have a G width stipulation, but i would also be interested in a GMTO for this...
