Yikes. I get paid most of my income for the year in January of the next year. So, as usual, I found myself with a little money in January. Well, this year I went completely bonkers. I have lost 65 lbs over the past several years, and really needed to update my wardrobe. (Went from a 48L to a 42L.) So I got some new suits and shirts . . . and this started a chain reaction, leading to the following total meltdown in March:
Vass - Old English Oxford U-last (black)
Vass - Asquith U-last Oxford (cognac) (from SF Member msawch)
Vass - Plain Derby U-last (black) (from SF Member Tombrone)
Gaziano & Girling - St. James Oxford (cedar)
Gaziano & Girling - Hayes Oxford (black)
Sutor Mantellassi - Norvegese Monk (dark oak)
C&J Handgrade - Audley Oxford (dark oak)
C&J - Westbourne Oxford (mahogany)
C&J - Maidstone Monk (dark chocolate)
C&J - Wigmore Oxford (slightly used) (brown) from Member mta265
C&J - Weymouth Oxford (brown)
Allen Edmonds - Strand (walnut)
Allen Edmonds - McAllister (merlot)
Allen Edmonds - MacNeil (black cordovan)
Alfred Sargent - Burlington Slip-On (black) (discontinued, been looking for these for over a year)
Clark's Desert Boots (loden suede)
Clark's Desert Boots (taupe suede)
Gola - soccer shoes (navy suede)
Gola - soccer shoes (gray suede)
If I had been able to find the right EGs or Lobbs, I'd have bought them too. There's literally a sort of blackout period, of which I have only the haziest memory of tequila and credit cards, at the end of which I have all these shoes, no money whatsoever, and am sleeping on the couch because my wife says she is waiting to **** my throat while I sleep. I think the only way I could sink to a lower eschelon of fiscal responsibility would be to become a member of Congress.
Of course, it was worth it.
If anybody's interested, I'd be happy to round them all up and take a picture. In the near future, I will be selling my entire closet's worth of 48/46 stuff to help cover the damage. Probably one of the kids, as well.
Per several requests, here are some (not very good) photos.
