Thought i'd start a thread as a means of information gathering. So hard to find anyone who ISN'T a hunter who has any experience of these. I know the Japanese market is loving them right now but very few europeans seem to own them. Anyone out there able to help? I'm thinking of ordering a custom made pair and wanted any thoughts and especially fit pics to guide me in my choice.
(before you ask i'm waiting for the catalogue to arrive).

Thanks for any help!

Getting a sample pair made at the moment for a future collab.  Should have in 5 weeks…..

[bertoni]

Say WHAT! Any more details Giles or still in the "if I tell you i'd have to shoot you" stage? Please let them be loosely based on the Mcintosh Birdshooter or the Country Chukka

Chukka on Munson last…...

[SLAB]

sounds interesting, any idea for how much these will sell?

[Giles]

No idea.  Sorry.  I work with getting the concept through to prototype, then I tweak that with Haraki, then we talk volumes, then I talk to the 3rd party, then we determine price. Haraki and I both work on the basis that we will strive for perfection and the price will be what the price will be…...

I could not possibly comment…..............

[Geo]

. . . and I would completely understand why . . .

[that_was_easy]

G, any particular release date you're shooting for?

[Giles]

This one is going to be a long way off.  Whilst they are making me the sample now, they have no production slots left in 2011…..G

[thomasnunnally]

Actually glad to hear that for once.  I will save up for these!

[Giles]

First pass at a concept Haraki and I are working on:
