Shoes With Character - Page 2

I think ig go for different laces though ... Never liked flats for dress, they belong to cassuals & sneakers imo. (l post some shoes ive just had resoled by the weekend)

^what a great looking pattern in the toe!!!

Do they still have the thistle pattern available?

BTW, I like the side detail as well. It really kicks it up a few notches in a subtle way.

Bengal or Parks would be persons to ask, but i guess for a MTO from EG it would be. If its available on any RTW, not sure. The side brouging looks the same as on the " Did someone say U-last? " a VASS mto. http://styleforum.net/attachment.php...8&d=1206962934

Those are beauties. I LUV the pattern and the rich honey finish.

At the rate I do the serious hikes now, you might have that right.

I'm unworthy of what these boots can still do on the trail. I got these boots in my early twenties....I lusted after these in college and couldn't afford them right away....all of $150 or so. The wait list is now about 7 years loing for the true bespoke model made in Intervale, N.H., and my turn came up two years ago for my second pair, but I just can't bring myself to have them fitted only to have the boots stuck on a shelf.

Limmers also make Austrian style Goyser welted wholecuts with angled V opening....real ass kickers when paired with the deep luygged Vibrams and black scotch grain. Worth a ride into the Whites to check them out. Peter Jr. is the guy to get fitted from.

Here are some older Alden's that are treasured friends.......all shell except the brogued derby and each return vistors to the Alden factory for restoration. The monk is 15 years old, resoled three times.

What color did the NSTs begin as? Cigar or Whiskey?

All of them are beautiful and well cared for. Nice to see.

Cigar.

My compliments on the Vass Budapest - Oxford! Now on my lust list....in shell. And I like your Budapest avatar!
