Looking good elj!!
Ive been looking for rain full brogue derby version myself and I saw these at Pitti and knew right away we need to get em haha
Cheer & enjoy!


you are right, the MTO is for Rain. Sorry i made a mistake and uploaded forest last spectator eariler :)
Here are some rain last spectator examples by Carmina :)

No adelaide wingtip option available at this time but here is full brogue wingtip spec & austerity brogue spec


Could the adelaide be made into a spectator, or does Carmina have to offer the model in spectator configuration in order for the shoe to be a mto spectator?

If the adelaide is not available as a spectator, I think I would be in for the full brogue in either grey calf/navy calf (preferred configuration) with the grey calf where the suede is in the picture. If everyone preferred grey suede to grey calf, I think I would go along with that. I would not be interested in the austerity version.

Just wanted to say that I received delivery of my carmina's from Steve this week. Dark Brown Full Brogues. Pics next week on the maiden voyage.

The transaction could not have been easier or more pleasant. I look forward to doing much more business with Steve in the future.

the cap toe version of the adelaide can be done in a spectator configure no problem!

Why did I miss the saddle shell 915... but luckily for 2 eyelet derby I prefer calf / better museum calf

Shell is too stiff to hold the lace tight

Pink Panther and others,

My original proposal about this when the spice suede thought fell through was a spectator on the captoe Adelaide design. The concept morphed into the full brogue design by a poster helpfully posting a Carmina spectator on a full brogue.

Steve has confirmed that the Adelaide - the captoe design - can be made as a spectator so that the Grey suede/ navy calf can be made as originally conceived. I would prefer the captoe to the full brogue. Would you wish a spectator adelaide? I might be willing for the full brogue design, but think, rather than compromise, would rather just do a made to order. But if we can get six, that would be great.

I would be fine with either. My only "have to have" is leather soles. :)
