Carmina 910 Black Whole Cuts

Very much so. Although I'd also suggest looking at the cap toe.

Extremely narrow, according to the staff att Skoaktiebolaget. Even narrower than the Simpson last.

From what (very little) I understand about business environments, the big no-nos are wearing things which are usually only worn by higher ranked employees, e.g., double breasted suit jackets, or a 3 piece.

I foolishly miss out the first time, then the restock is delayed by two months. Classic.

Most likely by using a cream polish in a color darker than the original leather. Just be careful around seams and brogueing---go over them only when your applicator seems completely out of polish.
