HI guys, first post here. I have been looking into getting my first pair of quality shell cordovans, but I have come to a cross roads.
They will be a graduation gift to myself, if that gives you an idea to my age. I like more of the preppy style (chinos, sweaters, blazers, sometimes bowties) and I love boat shoes. My current inventory includes two pair of Sperry goldcup a/o's (tan and brown), AE chukkas (black), and some finsbury balmorals (tan).
I want to get a decent pair of cordovan shoes, but I don't know what to get... I guarantee I would wear the loafers more, but I don't know if its a waste of such high quality leather and/or money to get cordovan loafers instead of getting some nice longwings...
What do you say? I'm open to all suggestions. Please include brands and models if you know any.
