Welp, back to Philly and back to the rain.
So the HM natties get another call. My MVP this season.

Nice pair of the JBM.

I was actually referring to the Santa Mok which I don't recall seeing here. Wondered if anyone actually had it. It has now made my unicorn list.

I could do for a pair of those (only seen one ebay auction for them), but since they didnt even do the 1776 this year I doubt even the JBM will be back

I forgot all about those, those are great. Probably wouldn’t have both that and the JBM in my collection, but still.

And I doubt we’ll ever see that again. Heck, I doubt we’ll see webgems again

Was going with loafers today but it was raining when I woke up. So changed all clothes and shoes.

Nice choice! Me, too, except for the changing part.


And in case you are wondering, that’s a Constellation. You can see one in TWA livery at the Pima Air and Space museum.
I keep waiting for photos of @Roycru to show up “in the wild” there.

I’m putting my money on “yes” for the Christmas-themed shoes this year. They did them last year, even though there was no “webgem” designation.

With all the "Made in America" they're doing, it was surprising not to see the 1776 though...

Happy Monday fellas! Shell Strands for me today. Have a good one gents!

Morning Gents - shell MacNeils got the call for me this morning. On a semi-related note, I have brown Higgins Mills being delivered on Wednesday, any ideas on what belt to pair with them? I’m thinking the Sterling Ave in brown, has anyone tried pairing that belt with Higgies?

Are the AE shoe brushes worth it? Are they appreciably better than the Kiwi brushes? I've always used the Kiwis and they seem to work OK. The AE's cost about 1/3 more.

Also, anyone have an opinion as to whether the Jingle Bell Mok will return this year? Or is this one of those things that Calares isn't likely to sell?

I have a kiwi brush and a few AE brushes. I prefer larger size and more dense bristle count on the AE brushes. To me, worth a few more dollars.

Nice choice! Me, too, except for the changing part.

I love that place! The SR-71 in the large main hanger is my favorite, but there are so many fine aircraft there. Were you able to see any of the guys working on restoration in the side hanger? When I was there a few years ago, there was a gent fabbing parts for a P-51 restore project. Just awesome! If you are making the trek north to the capital and have some free time, hit me up - we can do lunch.

I think that would work. Could also look at the Quay or Mackey as possibilities.

I pair my brown HMs with a bison belt from Torino. It’s actually what I’m wearing today, so here’s a picture for you.

There are a few options that appeal to me but your tastes might be different.
Cypress Ave Belt in Brown. On Clearance and it is textured.

A new Radcliff belt on sale, I love these belts but not for everyone. The leather is thick, veg tanned, but not pasted at all. They let it shrink when drying. So it is stretchy. They have that is brown also.

The New American Ave belt is in Bison and works well with textured leathers.
I also like the Hand Stitched belt. Both are on sale. The American Ave is below.

I like that Bison a lot with those.
