Sneakers + suit "lifestyle" isn't new, just recently popularised on tumblr. I do wear sneakers with chinos and OCBDs a lot.

What kind of outfits do you guys pair your sneakers with? Are New Balance and/or Nike vintage sneakers good in terms of cushioning and support? Vans are pretty hopeless when it comes to comfort. 

I had pay for shipping on both of mine, which is a bit annoying, but I still saved money off Australian RRPs. Some vintage sneakers suck in terms of cushioning and support, often because they're made as replicas of what was sold at the time and so the features just aren't there.

Got a nice little package in the mail today of 3 new J Crew shirts from MiamiRedSkin on this forum. They took forever to get here using standard shipping but they look great. Perfect for the summertime I think.

Now if only my Filson 257 would arrive today also i'd be a happy little Vegemite.

Thanks Robert,

I'm just packing it and the other orders outstanding up now actually. The sale prices have gone back up now (a week later than planned due to only taking my iPad away). All old season is still on sale though, just not as much. A few have now sold out and most now only have 2-4 units left of them.

Had an awesome time on our honeymoon, back to reality (work) tomorrow....

OK good news our driving loafers that we are doing in collaboration with a new up and coming aussie designer have cleared customs and look almost identical to tods lol. Actually in my biased opinion i think our look better than tods due to the inner detailing. Quality is similar, handmade in italy, we just dont have the brand markup.

Either way we will be doing the photos for the website this coming saturday and pricing looks like it will be around $199 a pair which is less than half the price of Tods.

Oh and btw... There are mens and ladies pairs!

We are under embargo so cant release a sneak peek of these until the weekend sorry!

Two nice macs popped up in my eBay saved searches with low starting prices (APC one especially looks nice and is located in Melb - RRP was like $700 in Incu IIRC), not my size though:

Just received my white chinos from ModernTailor. Nice soft cotton, good fit. However I can't help but thinking I should be umpiring a game of cricket while wearing them.

Yeah 40-45eur for the mens. Our collaboration pair is camo pattern suede which might be too funky but there are a bunch of "normal" colours too. I love these shoes so much I may ask to do a style-forum one off pair too

Can't wait to see (and then buy smile.gif)your loafers Romp!

 

I'm in the process of upgrading my business wardrobe - an area that needs particular, urgent, attention are my shoes. I previously had to pairs of Loakes which i abused and are in terrible shape. However, making the most of a bad situation I've decided to go for an upgrade. I've just ordered a pair of C&J Lowndes and a pair of C&J Hallam's (both in black).

Any suggestions for a third shoe for work? Budget is something up to A$450. Did want the Carmina Simpson Loafers but they are out in my size and not sure it's the ideal 3rd shoe choice just yet.

 

Have also decided on upgrading my bag - have my eyes set on http://www.ettinger.co.uk/collections/pursuits/pursuits-wimbledon-briefcase/pursuits-olive-havana-wimbledon-briefcase   Thoughts or alternatives?

 

Cheers
