Shoe Damage Report & Shoe P0rn Central - Part II - Page 197

great collection, jjl.

I wish I was a baller who had 9 pairs of shoes that I hadn't even gotten around to wearing yet.

the 19 last is very nice!

I might have just found my new avatar!

*Edit* jjl, could you edit your post and id the shoes, for educational purposes?

probably this gets lost in translation. finish for my understanding is everything about the treatment of the leather.

a fiddleback is a construction detail. you have to distinguish between bespoke and rtw/mtm

in the latter it's a "cheating" version of the bespoke, where it is built up from the welt.

there was a good documentation on a german forum, but the lady took away all the pictures. it would be a guess, if bengal stripe has them on his harddisk.

Great purchases JJL! Many comparisons have been made between the AS Handgrade line and G&G RTW/MTO.......what is your opinion on overall quality and finishing when they are side by side?

Adelaide group shot for your viewing pleasure...[Photo's taken on wife's compact camera so not great I'm afraid] These represent the most effective and instantaneous therapy I have ever experienced. My shoe guilt has been released. I am cleansed. Thank you for setting me free, jjl.

I like how none of them have been worn.

I'd love to see a aportnoy - jjl shoe-off

This is amazingly common on this forum. It's like people who buy Porsches and never drive them. It's a cryin' shame, not to mention a terrible waste. Still, those shoes are impressive. A bit redundant, but impressive.

Yeah.
Still, nauseating. Awesome.

Priapism

Holy shit bro. Nice collection. iWant the midnight blue ones.
