No worries, I just double checked the E-Mail to make sure but yeah, has to be same fitting

Still should have enough for minimum though

If everyone can email richard your details [email protected] let’s get this baby over the line...

Alright so Richard responded. Mr @TH3515 you can indeed get a 12.5 UK size, I quote "UK 12 1/2 should be no problem at all."

I've asked for the invoice to be called "GMTO Trickers"

Further information below

"A half bellows tongue is standard specification on this model. Full bellows have not been used by Trickers for many years.

I would usually specify a ‘Barbour Welt’ which looks very similar to a storm Welt. The colour again usually would be Cream with tan Welt stitching. If you can send me a picture reference of a Welt and colour you like I can confirm what it is....

Upper stitching is matched by the factory unless you wish to specify.

I will do some more work on this Sunday when the store is a little quieter
Best regards,
Richard"

I've asked if the full bellowed tongue could still be possible even if Trickers haven't done it for a while (I'll let you all know) if not we shall go back to half-bellowed (wasn't a strong preference anyway). Moreover, I sent a picture of the natural welt to confirm the choice

We'll keep with the factory chosen matched upper stitching, it will work better and avoid colour confusion

Furthermore, I found from Japan a Trickers shoe in waxy toe cap, image below (gives an idea on how the boot will look like) this was years ago though

The price was 98,000 Yen, which was £716, that was for a shoe. We are getting a boot and it will be cheaper

To Knick his own picture that’s the cream Barbour welt with tan stitching I’m assuming.

Better pic, I’m ok with that?

We will be having the Natural welt, so slightly different. These were the pictures I sent Richard for the welt. I asked Richard for colour confirmation

I’m fine with that.

Many thanks for the confirmation. This is interesting indeed, although I can hardly justify the expense right now (have quit my old job and started freelancing but business is still slow) but the 12.5 is very tempting and I'll ask Richard for the price anyway...there's no harm in asking, is there???

There's no harm at all

If you are in though, I think we shall have 8 for the minimum order. Not to put pressure or anything on you. If not, perhaps we could tempt Richard to get one/two for the store

 

[Metrosey]

So currently I think we have six confirmed interest, E-Mailing Richard and two that may contact Richard and sign up. We are so close, exciting times

 

[jayvee]

I’ll email Richard so that makes 7. I do like the idea of the austerity brogue. Perhaps an austerity stow? But we are quite far along with it now so maybe another time.

Have Trickers confirmed the ridgeway?

I included you in the six, another time for sure. Let's get this one over the line first

Richard didn't say anything against the Ridgeway, so I think it's fine

Thank you for getting in contact with Richard

Tried to contact richard at email in post 13923 and it was immediately bounced.
