Even though I haven’t worn these much this summer, this pair of Higgins is one of my most-worn pairs of all.

Old School McTavish and the new one have almost nothing in common.

something about the full leather insole and double outsole make the shoe so much better.

Chili Mac Day View attachment 1648249

Chili Mac is the best!

It's a hot day today so white suede Nomads with a summer suit -- wore these to court!

Broke out the Chili Shell Strands today since it'll be in the 80's. Was tired of wearing boots with thick wool socks in the summer heat. Still thinking about what a Marbled or Scuffed Chili would look like

Question about suede - Besides Saphir product(s),
what's the go-to suede cleaner used by the SF experts??

I'm eyeing some pre-owned suede footwear. No obvious spots to remove, just want a general cleaning. I see a Bickmore (Bick 4 folks) for $7. Will mild soap and water do the trick? I just read where vinegar and water is better than many higher priced solutions.

David @ vcleat.com used coconut shampoo to restore some vintage suede. He provided a link to the method used he found on another site:

I always just brush with a suede brush, but plan to use this method if the suede really needs a cleaning.

Gents—trying to remember the name of this model AE that I’m wearing today. It’s a long-wing blucher. 97 last. Think it started with an “M…” Didn’t see it on the website, but it’s supposed to return in September. Ring any bells? It’s been on the tip of my tongue all morning. Thanks, in advance.

Mac Duff?

Classic Strands in walnut…one of my first pairs. This pair, and my dark chili Fifth Ave pair, were my gateway drugs to AE

One day I hope one of you posts a photo of your Tweeds or Alladins.
