Fixing a failed shine
I think you did a good job! The shoes look great. I agree with you, just leave it that way. I would minimise the use of renomat on leather if I were you. It’s not good to use renomat on leather in the long run, as it dries out the leather.- The Thai Gent

Fixing a failed shine
Did you wipe off excess cream after buffing? Sometimes there would be a residual layer of cream on the surface of the leather that did not get absorbed into the leather, and does not come off with just buffing with a horsehair brush - would need a cloth to wipe off. Needless to say, the amount...- The Thai Gent

Where to start for my first pair?
I have a pair from both CNES and JFitzpatrick. Between the two, I would choose CNES because I like the aesthetics of CNES more. But having said that, JFitzpatrick shoes are pretty solid. I have had them for 3 years without any issues. 200usd for GYW is definitely possible if you outsource to...- The Thai Gent

Where to start for my first pair?
I do not have comment about Barker because I do not own any, but I can give you my opinion on Grenson. When compared to other British makers, my pair of Grenson shoes tends to have a more country/casual vibe to them. I guess it is because of the thicker welt and sole. In terms of quality, the...- The Thai Gent

Where to start for my first pair?
Masterpiece, I think. Because it was renamed to G-ZERO collection a few years ago. The Rose was renamed to G-One.- The Thai Gent

Where to start for my first pair?
Take a look at CNES (https://www.cnes.co/). They make very decent shoes. The level of finishing is pretty high compared to those in the same price range. Another I would recommend is J.Fitzpatrick.- The Thai Gent

Where to start for my first pair?
Hello there. In my humble opinion, the reason why most of the makers that you mentioned have retained the more traditional styling is because it is their heritage and that is what they do best. There will always be a market for this type of design. For me personally, after having tried various...- The Thai Gent

Cheaney
Yes, the leather quality and level of finishing is very good. I haven't had the chance to try the 208 last, but compared to other brands, I think the fit of this last is quite generous in the width but the arch area is rather tight - I guess it is like that because of the way they tried to...- The Thai Gent

I have just recently purchased a pair of Lancaster's from their Imperial range, and I must say that I was genuinely impressed by the level of quality and craftsmanship. It's a shame that they are not as popular as the other major brands. Here's a picture.- The Thai Gent

Vintage Watch Thread (Pre-1990's watches only)
I would definitely grab another one if i could get it for 2k because if I’m not mistaken this particular gold model only comes in solid 18k gold case rather than gold capped :)- The Thai Gent

Vintage Watch Thread (Pre-1990's watches only)
Thank you for the compliment. I'll let you know if I ever come across another DJ with the same face and year. Yes, the GS is truly beautiful! I grabbed it as soon as I saw the offer.- The Thai Gent
