As always, I remain a fan of Suzuki's outstanding craftsmanship. It is apparent even in the modestly sized photos on the webpage link.

The style of this loafer is almost palatable to my aesthetics. It is not nearly as extreme as so many of his other examples. I suppose that one might even call this particular shoe Suzuki's paean to Trad!

I've heard Koji's no longer taking new clients; is this true?

(If so, no matter how stylish his shoes may be, I wouldn't be interested in knowing what he's doing.
If not, how can I get on his waiting list, which I heard, at some point, was two years long.)

As of about 12 months ago he was not. Unsure about if that has changed.

I thought they were bespoke slippers at first.

Man, I make nice shoes.

koji

 

[sho'nuff]

i soon one day wish to own a koji suzuki pair of shoes. it has got to be a fiddlewaisted split toe derby in the craziest purple antique he can find. perhaps a triple sole.
i wonder if i am going to have to pull out a loan for that one.

I like this if a bit pointed. Construction looks immaculate. Notice the tapered heel.

 

[luk-cha]

i like all the detail an have also include some on my custom made HK shoes too!

yes they are pointed but they would look great with some 60's inspired pants and the cuban/ pitched heel are not as feminine as you might think and when actually on the foot makes it look a lot more steam lined and elegant.

i am not a fan of loafer but i quite like the way these are styles!

i just cant wait for the next instalment!

I agree with AF it's too pointed. Otherwise, the craftsmanship is heavenly.

Fiddleback waist with triple sole

!!?? I don't think the triple sole would be compatible Mr. Suzuki's aesthetic and I doubt he'd make it in triple sole. I've seen Weston the Hunt model in triple sole, it's like a Frankenshoe.

So how do I get on his waiting list? I'll wait 2 or more years.

I always thought triple sole was best for spanking, if you're into that sort of thing.

yucky

 

[Nantucket Red]

Perhaps becoming a customer of Ginza Tailor will allow me to get on Suzuki's short list.

Except, perhaps, another man who wants to do it for him (or a woman who likes to munch her own snatch).
