Gentleman, Any suggestions for a type of design for hatchgrain calf?I was thinking of a split toe like the EG Dover but a chukka or a wholecut like G&G will also be fantastic. Would be interested to get some feedback from you guys

Not keen on a chukka, but G&G hatch grain Hoves are gorgeous: http://www.styleforum.net/t/236162/...on-shoo-Appreciation-theard/7320#post_6149337 Is this going to be the next group MTO? If so, count me in.

I'll take the hit for the confusion since I'm the one who conflated SL with Carmina.  I should know how seriously posters will take their shoes on a message board dedicated to style and be more careful when writing.

Everybody, please consider me properly chastened.  I will strive to ensure that I don't personally offend the sensibilities of the various shoe fans in future with less than double proofed research and an editor.

I think you've misread me!

I was actually agreeing with everything you had to say. Especially post 4344.

I was just lamenting the fact that you had to follow up your good logic and reasoning by pacifying it a little bit in the following post. You should feel confident to speak your mind without fear of sensitive posters crying because their million dollar shoes might actually be of lesser quality than your $999,999 shoes.

Still waiting


Me too :) hopefully Pepe sends me the pics soon.

Thanks for the suggestion guys; most likely this will be a personal MTO but if anyone is interested I may do one but but this time a small group MTO (10 people max).

But this will only be initiated once the previous MTO is delivered

I really like the austerity wingtip in navy calf, without having to pay for the extra MTO charges just for a simple change of material. I think Meermin doesn't want my money because they have an incredible knack of choosing combinations of soles, upper material and shoe designs where at least 1 out of 3 don't seem to match exactly what I want.

Waiting for a RTW version of something I want from them is like winning a jackpot.

I also would like to see more RTW boots from them, especially a pebble grain boot with storm welt or veldt construction.

The ornate stitch which is used I believe to attach the welt to both the upper and the insole runs all the way around the shoe instead of ending where the heel begins. At least they're telling you they do this now instead of just sending the shoes with it done!


The stitch you refer to is not ornate but functionally sewn the upper to the insole.
