I actually think I remember hearing about that. Didn't he go to The Armoury in NY?

Here I was thinking tomorrow was a good day to shield myself from my children and stink up my office.

@ThinkDerm @mktitsworth

That's correct - @GothamRed left The Armoury some time ago and is now running Saint Crispins North America full time. He is continuing to help me with A Suitable Wardrobe, though.

We stopped Shoe Shine Sunday just because it felt a little redundant and participating waned. I'd love to start it up again... but we're brainstorming some different formats, like maybe a livestream. Any thoughts?

We're also beginning to film some shoe shine tutorial videos. You can find the first one or two here: https://www.youtube.com/hangerproject

We've just begun, so don't be too critical on the videos. We're still working on the format. But if you have any suggestions for videos, please let me know.

Cheers,

Kirby

A live-stream could be an interesting format. I might suggest having a participant/forum member send you a pair of shoes as a working subject. New Anthony Cleverlys are awesome to see get a glace treatment, but how much more impactful observing a middle-of-the-road EG or CJ, go from drab to lustrous.

You raise a point I was thinking about lately, anyway. At the rate we are filming new shoe care tutorials, I'm going to run out of shoes very soon, anyway. Do you have a pair of shoes you want to volunteer?

How about a contest to see the worst shoe that you could bring back to life? I've got a pretty strong contender in that category...
