Gerry your shoe collection deserves a thread on the main forum with the heading "Is this the perfect shoe collection? Discuss."

My little guy is 10 days old today. First day back at work tomorrow

Congrats buddy, must've missed the news :)

Hey Toby, hope all is well with the little fellow!

 

Thanks for the kind words, I think the collection pretty much covers any occasion although I wouldn't deem it perfect just yet 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This speaks volume about the forum. I thought we were all pretty much 20-somethings. Gen-Yers trying to do their best by helping each other out. But, that wouldn't quite make sense, because I don't know anyone between 20 and 30 with such epic shoe collections. Puts the 'experience' of the 'Aussie' group into perspective for me. Decent spread for the kids though: 18 years old to 10 days old.

 

So, does anyone use shoe trees with their driving shoes, even if they are suede? Rob, have you tried P Johnson's rubber/mesh navy loafers? They look incredibly durable and comfortable. They are priced similarly to Andy Tom's.

I'm curious - what gave you that impression?

In answer to the kids question above, I have two sons, 23 and 27. Neither of them seems to have inherited any sartorial genes.

I guess there's a relationship between being 20-something and being interest in menswear?

Michael - I'm Gen-Y. 

 

I'm a law student starting my Practical Training Diploma next year. I'm not from a professional background so I've had to learn the etiquette for myself, suits are part of that. I've read Flusser's Dressing the Man and Manton's The Suit until the words have come off the pages, and I should be getting a copy of Molloy's Dress for Success next week. My professional wardrobe currently consists of:

x2 RMW Craftsmen shoes, black and tan

x1 RMW cowhide belt, black

x4 White MJ Bale shirts, x1 MJ Bale blue shirt

x2 HC ties

x9000 Bonds socks/undies

 

Next week I'm getting the two for a grand suit deal w/ extra trousers at MJ Bale, a few more HC ties and and a tan belt and that should about do me for a while. I keep my wardrobe as conservative and Australian as possible which suits me to a T. 

Just bought 2 oxford shirts from luxire, one ocbd one just semi-spread (regretted the semi-spread the second).

Hope they turn out as good as tobias and lachy say :)

 

What will you wear the tan pair of RMWs with?

 

I wear them with jeans and a plaid shirt literally everyday. I plan to chuck them in every once and a while with a suit just to mix things up.

 

Probably a little informal for a job interview/appearance but they're fine for me in the legal centre. 

Fuark the barbour that I have been wanting since I started an account here is nearly mine...6h left...if someone buy's it I will flip out so bad ARGHHH!! (bad news is I have to wait till 1am to see what happens T_T)

Do you use a sniper, like http://www.gixen.com/index.php?

You won't regret it, have 4 with more on the way.

I would say, though, that instead of ordering 2 straight up, you're better off ordering 1, accepting that it probably won't fit quite right and will be a bit of a wash, tweaking the measurements and then ordering as many more as you want.

^nah it makes me feel bad; and I'm to nub too :P Rather just put as much as I'm willing to put in in the max bid :)
