So with that Russian Hatch Grain could we make an L&T Split Toe? Like the idea of something like what was offered by St. C

My split toe patterns are still under development. As you guys can imagine, a lot of time and effort goes into developing new styles and unfortunately we do not have the resources to launch every single style in the beginning. Please be patient! It will not be a Split Toe style similar to StC.

This is a possibility, but it would have to be crowd funded. Can you get 6?
I don't know if we have enough loafer crazy people here for that...

Think about it folks.... The hatch pattern would be a great compliment for black shell

I took this guy's confident advice and just want to share the (positive) outcome.

I have a pair of G&Gs here in MH71 7E with generic G&G shoetrees in size 7 and the Skoak 6 are very very close, might even be a mil longer, possibly ever so slightly less voluminous in the vamp area but frankly, if you patched a Gaziano placque on the Skoak tree I wouldn't know the difference slipping it into my Rothschilds. Looking fw to using these for my sale G&Gs to come (if and when they do ^^).

Outstanding quality btw, I got the cherry and it's just super nice, smooth spring, actually feels worth the price tag.

^^ glad it worked out for you man!

Leaves - interested in seeing your new shell offerings. Will organize a cordovan string loafer group order once we get this first MTO to test fit. Thank you! Any samples of this style in shell made up?

Yes, Horween Russia Hatch Grain as the actual article from Horween is called, is available. I am not sure it will be the exact same one StC uses, I think they use one with a slightly different pattern to the grain. There is no surcharge for Hatch Grain, it's just a standard bovine leather actually.

What colors do you have available in the hatch grain?

So no chance having them ready for the A/W drop?

The Carlos Santos boots showed up today and what a fantastic pair of boots for the price point. I think that Carlos Santos is probably the best value leader. I mean I love several brands but if you want the best shoe/boot for the least money it's hard to beat Carlos Santos. This is my first pair of their boots and they are super and fit spot on.

I am thinking of spraying them with Tarrago Nano Protector Spray for Leather Suede Nubuck has anyone tried this in the past?

Checking interest. Would anyone like to crowdfund a Lof Tung Abreau Loafer in colour 8 or dark cognac cordovan? Would be a cool looking loafer imo.

interested, but waiting on my first MTO in same style to check / confirm sizing. willing to wait until the first batch of MTOs are delivered? if these fit well, I'm sure some of the first group will be back for seconds. Also, are you interested in the tie loafer?

I've used the same spray for 3+ years on suede shoes and boots from Heschung, Cheaney and Crockett & Jones. I've never noticed any detrimental effects, only positives. It really works wonders on repelling both water and dirt and saves me a crapload of time I'd otherwise have to spend on maintenance.

Definitely in no hurry as these will probably be delivered late autumn anyway.. The tie loafers are great but unfortunately I already own a pair, so that's out for me.
