Just kopped these #8 NST's from Leffot. They're right purdy and not to worry gents -- they're at the cobbler now getting some brass eyelets

These are great!
Are these from Brick and Mortar?
What last are they on?

Thanks! They are from The Shoe Mart from their 2nds list. They are on Barrie.

Your Color 8 Tankers from Madison are looking terrific today.

Your Color 8 NSTs are looking great. Leffot somehow manages to get the nicest looking tan antique edge dressing somehow. Looking forward to seeing them completed.

Ravello WT boots for a night out with the wife

Your Ravello WT Boots are looking great Henry. Hope that you had a good night out with the wifey... Get her a new car like @ReppTiePrepster ?

Maiden voyage of my Leffot perf. cap CXL's. Denim is still stretching/wearing and thus the massive jailers cuff.

Looking good in your Coney Island Boots. Enjoy them in good health.

I only own Alden's in the suede department, so no additions necessary.

Collection of black

Somewhat in flux as my girlfriend suggests I sell the wingtips (largely because I already have brown cordovan wingtips) and replace them with something like black LHS for diversity sake

The Black Shell Cordovan LHS is a fantastic model and wouldn't let you down. Surprised she is recommending replacing and not getting rid of...

Because it's his girlfriend, not his wife

And those Ravello loafers are spectacular.

Aren't brown and black diverse enough?

Aren't brown and black diverse enough?

I think the point is that I already have cordovan wingtip blushers but no casual cordovan loafers

 

[CanadaCal]

Fair point. But I wouldn't consider black shell loafers a casual option. Go suede or #8. I'd be going suede for casual.
