Unfortunately not going to be restock according to @GabrielOB, anyone wants GMTO?


Maybe. I do love that style, but how do you feel about:

A) Etrusco calf, a reddish brown tone that is extremely versatile, perhaps moreso than the (still beautiful) Aubergine color. Tan goat lining if Etrusco, green if Aubergine.

B) Seeing if EB will do the buckle over the ankle. Gabriel previously mentioned this would incur a 30% fee due to the pattern change, so maybe we can bring that down a bit with more people? I think it looks a tad sexier to see the buckle just under the trouser hem, though it's also more casual. Carmina has this style. I am ok with the pictured version, though.

Dear gentlemen, just a reminder that this GMTO is ongoing.
Having reached 7 orders we are thinking about closing it early. Final deadline is March 11th (6:00 pm, Swedish time).
If there is someone else interested, he is more than welcome to jump onboard.
All the best.

I got a job offer at the end of last month, so I kopped a pair of Edward Green Ivernesses (thankfully before the price increase). All I can say is wow.

For those of you who mentioned preferring a split-toe on a rounded last like queens or forest, as opposed to the rain last, any interest in a model 803 or 757 GMTO in some form of grain? The below pic is caramel grain 757 on the forest last according to Betty and it looks pretty sharp. Could be a nice all weather shoe with some sort of thin rubber sole (york, tomir, single dainite). Think one other person is interested at the moment.



***I am interested!

I am also interested in this shoe.

I have a etrusco wholecut so am not enthusiastic about A but want B!

Never got hit with duties when ordering from Skoat until now. Postman came with a $170CAD bill for the fox suede chelseas... ouch!!!! Definitely took some excitement out of getting the boots... especially after waiting 2 weeks for them =(
Ouch! Did you go with FedEx or your local postal service?

Local postal service. The 4 times before that i ordered from Skoat were fine. They just delivered and that was it. Knew something was up when customs held the package for 4 days
ouch, and I've been hearing that it's usually never caught with canpost. Was contemplating an order too...
chalk it up to law of averages I guess, or otherwise about what you would have paid at Leatherfoot if they carried the same.

So they still ship with the Swedish government's post? It doesn't eliminate the risk of duties but does reduce if I read right.
