Had a feeling it might be the repair shop. He did a couple of pairs of red wings for me a while back but there was a delay as he was off filming but said he couldn’t tell me what it was.
Cheers for the heads up, the finished piece looked great! Only spoken with him a bit when he did my repair through IG messenger but definitely a decent guy. Hope they got some more pieces like that in and it can increase his profile. Mind you I think he is always flat out anyway!

Yeah, I think he’s always got as much work as he needs, probably as he’s very well regarded and a thoroughly decent guy. He ended up offering to do the second pair at cost or to redo them because of the tiniest stitch out of place. Really nice to see people with that kind of standard of work.

I'm gonna get a pair in black gg, I like them but have a feeling they won't be too popular on here. Think they're a size up half/full job

Look a bit like the kind of thing someone who gets their kids around in a cycle trailer might wear.

Price is steeep on those, but decent at the sale price. Fit will be similar to the usual desert trek

Just a reworking of the Suicoke ones aren’t they. Even Vuitton / Virgil have a pair out.

Leather looks great, one that will improve with a load of creases and scuffs

Anyone got a pair of the black Wallabees with the painted sole?
Reckon it can be sanded off?
God knows what they were thinking. Gum looks 100x better.

Anywhere in London that can slim the shaft of a pair of RW Peco's? It's a mod I have seen some US folk have done, where they remove some of the leather and add a press stud closure. Was thinking Felix J perhaps.
