They're quite stunning Gnatty8....What's the colour?


Do you mean what does Ferragamo call the color? The pictures above are pretty true to actual color.

So generally if suede x suit is not always doable... suede wingtips x denim is fine?

I wear brown suede wingtips and captoes with suits all the time. I find they perfectly complement the textures of the tweeds, flannels, and (to a lesser extent) linens which pretty much composes my entire wardrobe.

I wear these guys with suits too, but not for conservative client meetings. I don't think lighter color suede works well with suits but can be fine with separates or business casual

I think it's because suede practically requires the pants to be cuffed, IMO.

That but also a conservative navy banker stripe doesn't really jive with suede IMO - I may be in a minority
