I'm a little worried about Carmina's grain game lately. What do you think?

I got this one, Master Bruce @rydenfan .

"Carmina grain sucks."

Although, I personally like my Carmina Clemens in Scotch grain from Epaulet...but I think Carmina's hatch grain looks terrible.

I like the Alden and Enzo grain the best.

My burnished hatchgrain turned out great. You may just need to go the MTO/GMTO route with hatchgrain and request the burnishing.

Disclosure: this was not through Gentlemen's Footwear, but provides a good example of possibility with Carmina hatchgrain

I have the scotchgrain Jodhpur boots, and I am very happy with them.
They are only very lightly burnished, and look great.
Also, not through GF.

Keep in mind the problems with Carmina's grain are recent, and are only the pebble grain, not the hatch grain leathers.

Any of the plain grey in UK9.5 available?

Hey guys,

I know there's at least 5 or 6 others involved in the dark brown suede chelsea on the rain last.

Just need some sizing help so I can get in on it too. For those who may already own a chelsea on the rain, did you stay with your regular size or size down at all?

 

[rydenfan]

Steve, are we good to go on the grey suede Chelsea?

 

[Baked Potato]

This might be a little early , but it's an idea we can scratch on for a little while: Would anyone be up for a boot (maybe a balmoral) in a museum leather for the coming winter? Perhaps in a brown nuance?

I stuck with my normal size. My worry about sizing down would be loosing the ability to wear a medium weight sock with my casual outfits.

Also listening and thought about floating similar idea - though I was going to suggest a burgundy over brown. All leather or with suede shaft in matching tone. Though I may try this with Bonafe so not sure.

 

[andrel42]

Listening too! Any visual ideas?

 

[sacafotos]

8-9 brass eyelets, no speed hooks. Dainite of course if this is a winter boot. Pull tab.

I personally love that Frankenstitch posted a few weeks back. Burgundy? Some sort of museum calf would be sweet. Maybe an Alt Wien style.

 

[Baked Potato]

I would prefer a darker brown. I actually own more burgundy pairs than brown, although I might be convinced. If it's going to be a balmoral (which I hope), all (non-visible) eyelets would be preferred. I also agree with on the Daninte sole, it's the best "discrete" rubber sole for our harsh Nordic winters.

Museum leather from Carmina???

Would anybody be interested in boot in CXL dark brown leather made on Oscar last?
