JR soles don’t care about some rain.

Just curious, what's the hesitance around plates? It seems like the ideal solution for your requirements since it won't affect the aesthetics or feel of the double leather while ensuring that you don't burn through the toes.

I love plates. On this pair, though, I want something more grippy than the leather is all

My splurge during the sale. Plus the navy suede and carbon belts (didn't have the brown suede available in my size), trees and extra bags.

It took me 83 years to see that laces make a difference...
The Landon looks better with the lace-swap.

Please use bar lacing on Oxfords at least .

I'm a simple man. On dress shoes, I use the bar lacing and one other style (that cross lacing that is similar to sexy man's post #3768).

Yes, the Allen Edmonds "Snuff" suede is more brown and darker than the Alden "Snuff" suede which is bit lighter and has more yellow in it. Interestingly, I would call the Allen Edmonds color "Cinnamon" and the Alden "Butterscotch" rather than calling them both "Snuff". Also note that every dye lot will be different.

Left = Carmina Brown suede
Left Center = Alden snuff suede
Right Center = Alden Hummus suede
Right = Allen Edmonds snuff suede

More examples of Alden's "Snuff" suede and Allen Edmonds "Snuff" suede which can vary based on lighting.

A fair point. I LOVE my GMTO Macneils in “snuff” suede (a/k/a MacSuedes) but I call it brown. Definitely darker than most folks’ snuff or polo.

BTW, @Roycru would be pleased to know that for folks on O’Connell’s email list, today’s featured shirt is an unfused, unlined OCBD in BUTTER YELLOW.

Have any of you tried on the recent rendition of the Force 10 boat shoes? I tried some on today and they are 1000 percent better than the first iteration.

I didn’t realize they had been revamped (slight pun intended). Any idea what is different?

I tried the original version, but it was too narrow in the toebox even though it was a EEE.

Now I’m gonna have to try them again. Thanks for the info!

Was it on special sale pricing? I also know that @savvysartorial loves a classic OCBD with good collar roll.

Enjoy the soft roll that comes with this unlined and unfused collar. We've extended the lack of lining to the cuffs and placket, not an ounce of lining or fusing in this shirt. Perfectly worn casually or dressed up with&nbsp

No, just the “everyday low price” of $165.

O’Connell’s is pretty old school and has avoided the trend of constant sales. They mark some things down 15-20% maybe twice per year. They seem to hang onto everything until it sells, no matter how long it takes, and supposedly have NOS going back years.

On the other hand, most of what they sell is “classic” so their stuff never really goes out of style. And it is nice stuff.
