So, my first ever "real" shoes as I was a Ferragamo guy and did not know any better. I actually came to SF for help in finding a good pair of shoes. SF recommended C&J. In ended up going hand grade on the 337 last (I forgot the model name) in chestnut. Many on here think that chestnut is too wild with navy, but it is my favorite combo. Some also find them too red, I use burgundy shoe cream and polish to bring that out and make them pop.
So, exactly two years and 2500 posts later I present my first SF purchase appropriately paired with a RLBL DB suit that I purchased on SF B&S and a pair of cashmere socks form Pantherella which I also learned about here and kept my toes warm as I stood in line to vote this morning. Shoes still look good considering they are two years old and I had almost no rotation when I purchased them.

Thank you! The socks are like fuzzy sweaters for the legs (otc) Dressed extra warm for voting lines in the stupid rain.

I darkened the brogueing with navy blue cream polish thinned with water. The extra moisture drew the color deeper into the leather than just cream polish alone. better interestingnessosity, no?
