Riccardo Bestetti Bespoke projects.
here are three pictures that show the level of wear after wearing them two dozen times (never on consecutive days and never in wet conditions). I am very pleased.- Sam1193

Riccardo Bestetti Bespoke projects.
How do you define "a bit"? I've worn my Mavericks two dozen times (not that I'm keeping count or anything...) and have been quite impressed at how well they're holding up. Especially the soles! Granted, I've been very careful not to wear them on wet/rainy/snowy days, so they're only on dry...- Sam1193

picked them up yesterday and wore them home - outstanding fit, really comfortable, etc. Couldn't be happier! I don't have any close-up / detailed photos, in part b/c the ones that Riccardo posted are better. However, I thought it might be interesting to contrast these shoes to another pair of...- Sam1193

Either another customer has remarkably similar taste, or my shoes are inbound... http://frecciabestetti.tumblr.com/post/115122840175/novecento-line-model-maverick-for-a-leffot The shape of the toe has been refined exactly as I had hoped (i.e., more rounded than the usual 'Almond'). Can't...- Sam1193

Riccardo Bestetti Bespoke projects.
hey guys, sorry I hadn't checked this thread in a day... I was told on Tuesday that the metal shank was used for this test pair, whereas it's expected that the actual pair of shoes will have wooden shanks. To be honest, I know little (read: effectively nothing) about shoemaking and respond...- Sam1193

J Ingevaldsson: I agree with Ironist - what a beautiful shade of brown! What does Riccardo call it? I heard from Leffot back in December that my test pair was ready. I had ordered a pair of black Mavericks during the trunk show in the fall, and I'm pleased by how quickly it's moving along. I...- Sam1193

Brown Vs Black Sunglass Lens
"Black," overwhelmingly so (though I think those glasses are effectively Persol's version of the famous (for good reason) G-15 lens). Both of them are going to look similar on your face to those who are viewing you, and it will be the frame color more than the lens color that will affect your...- Sam1193

Ordered a pair of black Mavericks on the Almond last during the Leffot trunk show...Riccardo was so great! We discussed a few ways to alter the shape of the toe to bring it closer in line with my personal tastes. It sounds like the turnaround may be faster than I expected...I was assuming the...- Sam1193

The Constructive Criticism Thread
Heldentenor, you mentioned that your problem area is 3-4 inches below the knee, but in this and a few other photos in this thread, I think the problem is 3-4 inches above your knee. I also struggle with thighs that are too baggy, as though all trousers are designed with retired linebackers in...- Sam1193
