I'd be in for something like this I think
I'd actually like to also do a Penny in the burgundy grain if anybody is interested in that makeup. Style 645 on Millerighe soles. I believe there is only enough leather for 3 pairs so I don't think that allows it to qualify for GMTO requirements. Perhaps Skoak can confirm.

@Skoaktiebolaget I'm fence sitting on snagging a pair of these Carlos Santos Classic Oxford in Chestnut. I know you work hard to get colors correct in photos but I'd still like to know if these lean more burgandy/red or more straight up brown in real life. While I know many prize the more fiery, reddish chestnut varieties I am more a fan of the standard brown that has subtle warmer tones. I think these look more like what I'd like but I'm interested in some first hand input.

Yes, I know colors are subjective, so I'll still take it with a grain of salt - appreciation in advance!

If it's loafers we could most likely do it, unless the sizes are very big

Much obliged. It looks like we have a race between the Chukka and the Loafers on our hands :)

We've got 2 interested. If anyone else would like to do a Penny Loafer on the 74945 in Burgundy Ilcea grain with Topy or Millerighe soles, please let me know.

Thanks!

X-Post from the Shell Cordovan Thread. 3 of 4 are from @Skoaktiebolaget

This pic is not as good as what I had hoped, mostly because it is insanely cold in Chicagoland.

But all of them are made of Horween Shell Cordovan:

Enzo B. Whiskey Cordovan 946 Last; Carmina Cognac Cordovan Rain Last; Enzo B. Color Four 74945; Enzo. B. Mahogany Cordovan 804 Last

Happy Friday!

Watchman,

Those are excellent. I've been eyeing that Enzo B. Whiskey Cordovan 946 Last boot of yours for a while and have been debating reaching out for a MTO.

Thank you Sir. By far, they are the ones that I wear the most.

Lovely collection of balboots, @Watchman1. Looks like Skoak and company have taken good care of you!
