And here are some MTO / Pre-Order interests that has been brewing as of late! Do send me a PM for details!

4. carmina 973 / perf captoe boots / brown scotch grain / rain / dainite sole
(picture shown in cognac shell but our mto will feature darker brown scotch grain calf)

First in!

Got my first boot and my first cordovan all in one package! Their maiden voyage:

Looks awesome. Cheers to steve!

I am in for the Adelaide in dark brown suede, prefer the Simpson last. I bet we could even have two mto of the exact shoe but two different lasts since the Simpson last doesn't fit everyone

I would not be in for a spice suede, I've got a tobacco suede coming and it is too similar

I would probably be interested in an Adelaide looking like the following in dark brown suede in either Simpson or Rain last:

I hate myself for this, but I would be in for joining a group-made-to-order for the Adelaide in Scary Spice Suede (my favorite spice girl by far; David Beckam got the runt of the litter, looks wise even if she appears to be pretty shrewd), but only on the rain or forest lasts.

That is, I will join if the cognescenti will tell me that scary spice suede will go with dark Greys and charcoal as well as tans. Would it hang with corduroy texture-wise?

How absolutely damn miserable to be talking about cold weather things when we are currently still struggling to leave this long, cold, sad Wintrr.

Don, the link is what the shoe would look like but in dark brown suede

Yes, that's what I'm aiming for as well. Leather sole.

Fellas, not to rain on any parades but to my understanding that was an exclusive Skoaktie makeup. Perhaps changing the color might be enough to unlock the secret treasure but just bear that in mind.

I see. I guess the honorable thing then is going through the right source. Thanks for the heads up.

EDIT: I don't mind which source we go through, as long as we're not stepping on any toes. I guess there's nothing wrong in asking the initial source about the make up also.

 

[member2000r]

a Detroit lasted long wing in Whiskey shell, but I am afraid the current Shell shortage will make this mission impossible

 

[MGD83]

That could look nice in a pebble grain calf. For shell you'd be waiting ages for it. Plus good luck getting 5 other members in on that one.

Right I think that specific makeup (i.e. color and style) was skoaties but the Adelaide style has been done over many brands of shoemakers. I would be very surprised if skoatie has the carmina "rights" to the Adelaide. In talking with Steve, it seems like we can do what we are talking about - Adelaide in dark brown suede in the Simpson last and/or rain last

3. carmina 80184 / captoe jumper boots / brown scotch grain / oscar / sole TBA
(picture shown in cognac scotch grain but we are thinking of dark brown instead)

Does Carmina offer a stormwelt on this model? Would anybody be interested in that?

Yes, a storm welt is an available option. I'm on the fence on this one, but would want storm welt and Danite sole if I participated. Any pictures of the dark brown grain?

And here are some MTO / Pre-Order interests that has been brewing as of late! Do send me a PM for details! Now ready for some boots for fall?? 3. carmina 80184 / captoe jumper boots / brown scotch grain / oscar / sole TBA (picture shown in cognac scotch grain but we are thinking of dark brown instead)

How about burgundy grain? I would also be interested in red brown grain like EG rosewood country calf if Carmina can find it. My understanding is that Carmina used to have it. It was like this

Come to think of it I would be interested in full brogued boots (similar to EG Alderley) built on either Oscar last or Detroit last. Maybe we can have special GF edition.
