at what price does Salvatore Ferragammo tramezza collection starts at

The guy's a fan of saphir. It was from him I learned to use navy polish on brown shoes.

He uses Medaille D'Or, which is pretty similar to Pate de Luxe.

Holy. Shit.

MY EYES!!!!

I'm finally back after being incommunicado for a while. It seems a little quiet here lately.. well, that's just an excuse for me to post a pic of my latest acquisition (>2 months). Just a pair of tan brogues, nothing fancy. I usually wear it in informal situations with jeans or chinos. When I feel slightly more adventurous (which is rare), I pair it up with a mid-grey suit for a somewhat Italian look. Being Chinese makes me feel a little self-conscious about my ability to pull off a nonchalant Italian look.

Most women here don't know how to appreciate such fine shoes. But I will look at your shoes! 

BonViv, is that fedora yours or the girlfriend's?

I hate you!    It's indeed corrected grain leather. I can't afford to get all my shoes in calf-skin.In my opinion, corrected-grain is acceptable for everyday wear especially for a sod with not much to spare. Maybe I should just stop purchasing too many pairs and focus on quality instead. The problem with corrected grain leather is that it doesn't really develop a patina. Any tricks?

I'm planning to buy a pair of boots for winter but am facing a dilemma. Leather soles don't offer much grip and I'm not a big fan of rubber. So the question is, should I buy a pair with leather soles and get a cobbler to attach a rubber outsole or should I buy a pair with rubber soles like this one? http://www.herringshoes.co.uk/product-info...selectedFitID=0

Bingo! It's a Panama hat. I'm a big fan of hats but never (or extremely rarely) wear them. My book-ends, on the other hand wear them 24/7.

Here's a pic of Mr. Acorn the book-end who wears a tweed cap.

i will be wearing these tomorrow:

I shall prescribe myself with ten "Hail Mary"s to cleanse my thoughts. They are garden ornaments mind you. Perhaps you need to take your dog for a walk to get your mind off certain things.

I believe some higher end (i.e. mainline) Paul Smith shoes are made by Grenson. Under the Grenson label, it's about a good 30% cheaper but you miss out on some colourful trimmings.

Personally, I'm no longer a fan of Bicester as it's just too crowded with people hoarding out polo-Ts and ugly shirts from Burberry (I only like their trenches and certain coats) or Armani. Northampton is a good idea but it is quite a journey from London. However, my company may ship me off there for a couple of weeks and I can take that opportunity for shoe shopping.

P.S. - 3ff3z8e, do you mind sharing the discount code with me? I shall buy myself an early Christmas present.

ah, thanks for sharing.

i only know PS mainline shoes (made in UK) used to be produced by Cheaney but not for those made in Italy.

Nice monks.

Nice socks.

Just got my C&J Hallam on Friday

[attachmentid=1896783]
Then went by my local repair shop to see what they recommend and  I got a Collonil Gold Shoe Cream Polish in Neutral and the Diamante Shoe Cream in Dark Brown

I first put some of the neutral cream polish on the Hallam,  my rebranded Loakes from Herring Shoes got polished as well.. somehow the polish seems to strip some colour off, not significant though... is this normal?

Left them for 10 minutes before wiping em with a polish cloth.

Next I used the wax polish for my loakes... Dipped an applicator cloth in some water before applying it onto the shoes.... then left it for a few minutes before using the buffing brush and further buffing with a polishing cloth.
As for the Hallams, I applied the Collonil Diamant Shoe Cream in Dark Brown with another damp applicator cloth before Buffing it with another shoe polish buffing cloth.

Here are the results... somehow I'm a lil dissapointed that they don't seem to have that glazed mirror look like some of the Gaziano & Girling shoes have. Is there something else that I should have done?

Cheers,

thanks kotmj, for answering on behalf.

so far it is the most comfortable shoe although the hardest to maintain. very soft and bendable. i am hunting for another pair in darker tan.

where can i get a pair of affordable brogues or oxfords?
