I much prefer the wingtip on the TG73, as it softens the square toe.

Sort of agree, but TG73 otherwise seems a little too pointy for me. I do like it for the Connaught.

What is the G&G Wingtip single monk called?
Can't find it, but did come across this, which I believe is bespoke:

If you could ever pull a GMTO together for something like that...one can only dream

I love this pair! I'd consider going in for one like this!

@Ironist

F width!

There was a tan alongside the brown; the tan seemed too light for my tastes, but I'll wait for Patrick to confirm.

I know it's confusing but the tan was the one pictured. The acorn was lighter. That's why everyone was surprised when this turned out a nice mid brown

What colour Saphir cream and polish are people using for vintage oak? I’ve got some dark drown but it actually seems a bit dark.

 

[PCK1]

dark brown

Medium brown.
Exact same reason - I thought the dark brown looked too dark.

Hope you don't mind me asking - apart that luscious appearance, are there noticeable differences with Kudu - e.g. more / less tough of a leather?

The Acorn Kudu was the light one, I did not fancy this color. The Tan Kudu is the color used on the pictured Isham. The name is a little misleading as most people picture tan to be lighter.

I'd consider but I would be an extra width since I'm narrow. If you guys get it set on one width would everyone else of other widths still get the same price?

Oh and here are some pictures of my most recent pair of shoes:

St. James II (older version) in Polo Suede on the TG73 last (Thanks to Nick of Bespoke England!)

Sorry that they were all taken on my phone so the quality isn't that great. They are just being broken in in my house, so that is why you just see a random long pair of socks without the pant legs showing. I didn't want to waste a pair of dress pants when the shoes are all I care about for the picture.
