For those who haven't ordered their Trunk Show suede shoes yet a picture showing how well suede shoes (Brogue Suede Strands in this case) go with the yellow lines on railroad station platforms. (You go places when you wear suede shoes.)

For fans of "A-E In The Wild" pictures and proof you go places when you wear suede shoes, I went to Upland CA (the station before Cucamonga) today while wearing suede shoes.

Suede shoes are the perfect travel shoes particularly when they have any sort of rubber soles.

For fans of food pictures in shoe threads, not quite sure what this was but they were very good and I ate two of them (and a lot of other good things) at a tea party in Upland today.

Extra Added Attraction Picture Part Deux: As I have ventured into the world of things that used to be on television, every time I am on a train these things always remind me of Lucy Ricardo.

between attending a tea party in "Upland" and going to a mythical place like "Cucamonga" this all sounds like a fairy tale

Friday morning Strandmok’s. Y’all have a good one!

This, it say's that it's selvedge denim, judging by the deep color most likely raw, so any bit of sweat or moisture will pull the dye out.

I looked closer with a decent monitor (and not my phone) and the shoes definitely look like they're lined, so the bleed would be limited to trouser cuffs.

While they would be STUNNING with a white or off-white linen, i can't advise against that option strongly enough unless there's evidence the denim was sanforized...

I would hope it's not, and it's raw, the patina would be worth owning them. Though they would wreak Havok on linen

Walnut Strands and Jeans today.

Gray Strandmoks today. I like these a lot. Aside from Roycru's accurate complaint of floppy tongues, I think I could probably go for a run in these.

Also, bought a pair of Made in USA Frye boots for my girlfriend's birthday. These really make me appreciate AE quality. Every pair of seconds I own, including the Strandmoks above at 1/3 the price, is way nicer than the Frye firsts. Right boot shown below. The left boot isn't much better.

Spoiler: Frye women's boots

Sad. I bought a pair of Frye boots ~40 years ago that had incredible workmanship. I remember they cost about $125 then, so the same boots today would run around $600; hope you didn't pay anywhere near that for these...

Nothing like spending my day off at the DMV ?. Oh well, maiden voyage of my new Bartlett's.

Maiden voyage of some bourbon Leeds.

May all of your chili dreams come true very soon

Sad indeed. They were in the $300s. I expected a lot better given that these are supposed to be their top-of-the-line model.

Happy Friday gents. An unusual pair for me, but why not?

How about some dark chili with a side of tassels?

Some FLLW inspired socks. RIP FLLW school of architecture.

Wish I could be at the Nashville TS. I would certainly stop for some Hattie B’s Hot Chicken. Nothing less than the heat of “shut the cluck up” spices.

Still waiting on the burgundy TS vs. cherry Neumok pictures if anyone can make that happen.

Nice! Safe travels.

Suede loafers are pretty easy to come by in standard sizes outside of trunk shows and can often be had for well below MSRP

Just saying, I'd get something more exotic than randolph, especially if you are a D width or something mainstream

Ima order 2 pair of suede loafers later today, including a Randolph! They have not been available in my weird size until now.

So you are saying the solution is to cuff way high...
