That's quite the pair of jeans (and shoes!). Never heard of Gustin, but after a quick look it appears to be a kickstarter style clothing site? Interesting concept.

Wearing (made in 1984) Oakmont saddle shoes again today.

For fans of "A-E In The Wild" pictures, in Holmby Park earlier today.

Before the pandemic there were giant cannas growing behind this bench that blocked the view of trash cans.

Prior to 2013 there was a British blog called "Look At My ******* Red Trousers" which classified all red trouser wearers as toffs, hipsters, lunatics, notable wearers, or in McDonald's

If the blog still existed and this picture ended up in the blog, hope I would be classified in with the toffs.

Look at my fucking red trousers!

Once again my belt did not match my shoes. Wore a Vineyard Vines mermaid belt today.

That website may be designed to take the piss on red trousers, but somehow I want to wear a pair now. Likely it's just that @Roycru wears them so good!

Boulder drivers today. They still don't fit, but after rigorous break-in sessions, they don't quite squeeze the dickens out of my feet, but now the heel slip has returned. Oy! Still good enough for actual driving, though.

Feliz día de la madre. Strandmok for breakfast. Enjoy your day with your mothers.

Where do Patriots fall on the formality scale compared to Rancourts pinch pennys? Would patriots and shorts be a no fly zone (I’d never wear oxfords and shorts nor jeans (I don’t even own a pair of oxfords))?

I wear Pats and shorts all the time.

also with jeans, chinos, and even odd trousers - very versatile shoe. Wouldn’t wear a LHS with a suit though.

Didn't have time to take proper photos, but my landsharks just arrived!



The shark portion looks ever better in person than I imagined. Better pics to come in the next few days.

Oh man. That looks amazing. I *almost* went with black on black.

IMO, the black on black landshark is the best choice to showcase the shark's texture. And it keeps is minimalistic. Plus, I've got a Navy Landon from the Fall 2020 TS so the navy/black would be a bit too overlapping for me!

To my Ivory brethren. How do you plan on conditioning your pair? I just used my dust brush on them and there was some VSC on the brush from a shell pair that I worked on and it left some olive toned streaks on the Ivory pair. After about 10 minutes it went from oliveish to a pale brown bunch of steaks. I think this leather will be a little ugly before it turns color. But for now, make sure your brush is clean and dry.

I'd imagine some renomat could get the brown steaks off.

Stand weave kind of day.

I would carefully check that, I think anything that has any oils in it would start the darkening process.
