GentlemensFootwear.com (CARMINA, EDWARD GREEN, DRAKES, CROCKETT & JONES) - OFFICIAL AFFILIATE THREAD

[TtownMD]



The kudu that G&G uses is from the now defunct Pebody tannery in Northampton. 
The only other maker I know that has access to this particular leather (antelope), with this particular and specific grain pattern, in this particular tannage, is Antonio Meccariello. 
There is no further ability to acquire this leather unless you already have it on hand. 
Carmina's "kudu" is totally different. 
That being said, I don't think you can make an elegant pair of dress shoes with this leather. Whatever the makeup, it will be casual, no doubt about it. 
Then again, I suppose different people have very different definitions of "elegant". 

Plus Enzo bonafe have access to it & if Steve can get them it would be sweet

Last I heard (a few days ago) they've exhausted their supply.

Who is they? Enzo or G&G?

Sorry, I was referring to Enzo.

I'm pretty sure G&G no longer has any Pebody based on a friend that recently purchased a pair of thorpes in rosewood.

Can it be a Dainite sole? Can someone PM me price?

Can it be a Dainite sole? Can someone PM me price?

Yes, I think it will be dainite sole /or victoria sole. My mistake, I literally copied and paste what @steveyoo1983 wrote. You have to ask @member2000r for the price. He confirmed it with @steveyoo1983 . I am in it either way and trying to get this started.
