Has there ever been a GMTO with a patina added?

Don't believe so. If there was I'm sure you would be able to find it listed somewhere in this thread. Pearl Grey maybe the most exotic color that comes anywhere close.

I don't think so either and yes I agree on the pearl grey being the closest but I'm sure we could get something settled if enough would go in on it. I bet GG would allow it in that case.

I had a pair of Antibes done which I posted a day or two ago. Also had a pair of deco Joyces done

It looks great!! Keep us posted on how the patina holds up.

Thanks sir. The other pair has held up well after 5 or 7 wears so far.

Starting the week with my trusty old Gables that started my voyage into G&G territory some 8 years ago.

Look great. Ever had to have the soles replaced over the years or still with the originals?

Sunny spring day called for Cambridge in mole suede. But when taking out the box, I noticed that some stitching on the brogue detail of right foot has come out. Maybe I've used the crepe brush too hard? Not sure if this can be fixed or just carrying on enjoying them as they are.

I would brush them lightly & carry one personally

I can´t help you, but I always use horse hair brush even for suede.

Run a flame across it quickly, it will burn that loose stuff off.

Alexander finished adding some color to my Antibes.

Still the original soles on these. Had to have the soles replaced on a pair of Hayes that are about half a year younger than the Gables, though.

They still look great!

They do have a few nasty scruff marks from being forced into some football action in the schoolyard when picking up the boys a few years ago Tried to polish them out and am happy to keep on wearing them.

That, sir, is awesome. I love my shoes, but day to day life always comes first.
