cherry/ burgundy/ maroon/ cordovan leather belt

[mylesmyles]

i just purchased a pair of these shoes (cherry red leather) from ctshirts on sale (of course):

and need a belt to wear with them. i have done searches both here and online but have not been able to find much. Ideally i would like a belt of that color with a silver buckle, as most of what i was able to find had a brass buckle. any help would be apprecaited.

There was some discussion on those. Someone saw them in person, mentioned that they did not look as good as the older Loake Norwich wholecuts CT re branded. Edit: http://www.ctshirts.co.uk/productMSB...Calf%20Leather

That someone might have been me. I hate the way they look in person. The medallion is huge.

What I'd like to know is how in the fick they're selling all-leather classic style " English-made " shoes for £95

Lol. Easy. They are not all "English made"

well my size is all sold out so it's a moot point now.

sure looks handsome on the website, but I'd defer to the educated judgment of those who've seen it IRL

Which Northampton are they talking about then ? The one on the outskirts of Calcutta ?

I ordered shoes from Gaziano & Girling in rosewood and have been looking for belts in anticipation of the shoes. I found two belts, both with silver buckles. Bergdorf Goodman has belts in a wine color that would probably work. I also picked up a leather belt in a more vibrant red tone from Paul Stuart, again with a silver buckle.

I believe Allen Edmonds makes a belt this color, and probably Trafalgar as well. Without looking, I'm about 90% sure I have one in my closet from one of those brands. Some Allen Edmonds come with snaps so you can switch buckles.

Otherwise, there is a "workaround":

Go to Loehmanns, FB, Marshalls, whatever your area has, and find a belt the right color but much too long for you (there always seem to be a lot more of the big ones on clearance). Find a belt the same width with a silver buckle (hopefully, also a useful one that is also too long for you). Take them both to your cobbler and have him cut them down to size and add snaps. Now you have two belts your size that can have either color of hardware. I've heard the cut and snaps operation runs in the 10-20 dollar range.

BTW, you might post a request in Buying/selling and/or in the "idea, item request thread" thread in there.

the shoes clearly state on the bottom that they are made in england and they retail for $325 US for what it's worth, but i woudn't buy them for that price. I own the loake norwhich rebranded as well and i have to say although the mdeallion is larger on these (which i kind of like, you don't notice it when you are looking from 5+ feet away) the shoe feels more "solid". happy with the purchase for the price - just need a belt to match.

If you are in NYC they do still have them in stock along with some of their other shoes, i had to exchange mine as they were a touch too large.
