Yeah sorry Nabil, I should have followed up. I got lukewarm interest so I just let it go. If you do get some, i'd like to try some.

Count me in mate!

It'll be chilly, so we can spruik our latest knitwear .

Why don't we go to Rockpool and share a steak tartare like PoP and Jaypee do on the weekend?

I dunno if rockpool was a joke but that sounds good to me

Bought a pair of Carminas last night ...

Solid! - these double soled?

Too kind, sir.

Mine would be these: http://www.crockettandjones.com/Product/Hallam-Darkbrown-Wax#.UVtfBJNHJos (wearing them right now)

Waxed calf, Dainite rubber sole - keeps the wet weather at bay.

I'm not too fussed with the Sydney rain and its effect on shoes; just a brush down after getting home, and stuffing it with newspaper if it really gets bad/wet. All good the next day.

Having said that, though, I've been considering some formal shell cordovan options in black and dark brown.

Wow didnt know Hallam came in a dainite sole - i need dainite .. just threw my last pair out

Stacked it hard on the pavement today, in Syd conservative business dress. Ego was bruised more than anything (suit is OK)..
Looks like I'll have to start topy-ing some of my beater shoes...

From what I understand, Romp, the version sold by The Armoury have a double leather sole (although Carmina's double leather is significantly more elegant and less clunky than Alden). I bought mine from Carmina directly and they have a single leather sole. I could well be wrong and it's not something I asked to have confirmed prior to ordering as the Rain last is elegant to me so the single/double won't make a huge difference to me.

Mate, go to Enrico Santi in Pitt St. 

As recently as a few weeks ago, they still had some Loake1880's for $195.

Called them up
Couldn't understand half of what the lady said
But I heard they have McQueen for 239 isn't that the cheaper line

Damn Gerry. Never fails to make me feel underdressed and lazy (with those well shone shoes).

Melbourne weather a little cool now, so finally get a chance to wear my grey cashmere tie from Drakes (still a bit too hot but getting there).

Is that another win for me in my fight to Topy the world's shoes?

I agree - really enjoyed myself. We paid a visit to Huxtaburger II in the conservative business dress and I wasn't disappointed - great burger!

Just bought a jacket - been searching for an M65 for a while.. this isnt an M65 but similar with a hood

Its La Panoplie and looks like this one on the left.. it has upper pockets that you cant see in this pic which are diagonal zips and it has pockets under the bottom ones for hands to fit in and also has metal hardware at the neckline which is a cool detail

 

[thebrownman]

^^ nice one!!

The real reason Gerry enjoyed dinner was because, as we were leaving, three women in line to order said, "Ooh, nice suit" as he passed.

I witnessed it with my two eyes and two convex lenses. Was incredible.

I dropped in 30 mins ago, they have at least one pair of 1880's for $195, and at least one other for $199.

 

[thebrownman]

Oh, and pretty sure one of them looked like Claudia Schiffer in her prime. Which is pretty much always, really.
