**The Official Shoe Care Thread: Tutorials, Photos, etc.**
It wasn't an attack on dbhdnhdbh- who might be on to something- or anyone else; just a gentle satire on the whole thread.- Snaporaz

**The Official Shoe Care Thread: Tutorials, Photos, etc.**
Quote: Following the recent furore over cracked leather (the Curious Case of Patrick Booth, or "Renogate" as the press are calling it) and the subsequent speculation over humidity levels, I have decided to market a humidor for fine shoes. The cabinet is made from the finest rosewood...- Snaporaz

Yet another Prom advice post.
Interesting stuff, unbelragazzo, especially the Henry Poole piece. While I agree that there are, strictly speaking, no fixed rules, there are well established norms, which are well worth emphasising, especially to newcomers. The black tie "rules" work pretty well for the individual and, if the...- Snaporaz

Semi-formal event, need your help guys.
I hear there are still some bear costumes available... My preference would be traditional black tie, but you're perhaps right to be reluctant if so few others are going to wear it. Wear the black suit, a white shirt and a black tie. A black suit is at its best in the evening- they are never...- Snaporaz

**The Official Shoe Care Thread: Tutorials, Photos, etc.**
I accept that AFPoS might be wrong (see the edit to my last post) even though they stock both Saphir and LCA. Anyone know for sure? The flippant answer is because I'm not manufacturing and finishing. The serious point is that their rebadging is a recommendation of sorts. Of course, they might...- Snaporaz

I can't see much disagreement, despite your tone, chogall. Don't we all suspect that some of the better shoe makers rebadge Saphir, rather than manufacturing their own shoe care products? It's still a recommendation of sorts. I was under the impression that LCA was rebadged Saphir, too. "A Fine...- Snaporaz

The Hangar Project claims that Saphir is the choice of John Lobb, too, FWIW.- Snaporaz

Yet another Prom advice post.
The starting point should be traditional black tie, but you can bend the "rules" somewhat if you're going to feel more comfortable (or stylish) as a result. Your aim is to enjoy the prom, after all. I wouldn't wear anything obviously matching my date's outfit- it's rather too fawning in my...- Snaporaz

Who compliments you more--men or women?
I'd say there are numerous factors at play here. Firstly, although more women are clothes-conscious than men, and many shop for their husbands and even boyfriends, I doubt that many are truly interested in the specifics of menswear. A woman might want a well-dressed partner, but she probably...- Snaporaz

Opinions on this combination for a wedding
On the brown shoe option, I'd second unbelragazzo's recommendation, possibly with this addition: http://www.carmina.telemaco.es/articulo.asp?idarticulo=3943815- Snaporaz

Opinions on this combination for a wedding
Two pieces of advice. Firstly, a wedding traditionally calls for refined rather than rugged clothing. Secondly, while your shoes can be stylish, they shouldn't be too obtrusive. Your outfit should subtly draw attention to you- in practical terms, to your face- not to your feet. The chukka...- Snaporaz

Thanks. I didn't mean to suggest that your shoes were garbage (or that you hadn't cared for them). I suspected quite the opposite, hence my surprise at the cracking.- Snaporaz
