My question earlier today was buried in a story so I figured I'd shorten it and repost
Q: Black Liverpool or Black Carlyle?
Other than some casual boots I have no other black shoes. My current collection is:
Walnut Strands 11C
Bourbon Mora 2.0's 11.5B
Non-AE Derbys, similar to Dark Chili color
I know that traditionally, the obvious answer is Carlyle. But - for a younger guy (30) - would a sleek Chelsea do the trick for the occasional wedding/funeral use and office wear once a week? I have read reviews that say the Liverpool does really does work with a suit or jeans.
Worth consideration is the price.
Both firsts - the Liverpool would be $289 (normally $445, matching Club Monaco price) and the Carlyle would be $335 (normally $395).
Thoughts welcome!
