This seems like the best route for Socal as he can probably get decent quality shoes but still overpay significantly.

Never been to, never bought, never will buy Tom Ford.

Did he insult Jil Sander?

There is hope for you. I guess you have to think which is more important, the style of the shoe or the quality of the skin. The Kitons iammatt showed really illustrate how impressive good skins can be (Though one shoe was way better than the other, and I don't relly care for that shape). If you care more about the shape, then you will be happy with the BBs or any other brand that does a model you like (BTW, Weston has a shop on Madison that you can visit). If you really care about the quality of the skins and getting a good match and layout, bespoke may be the way to go. I have no idea, but I wouldn't be shocked if the top bespoke makers won't do exotics for the first order. I bet, though, that you can order the classic Weston loafer MTO with the skin of your choice and they might let you choose the ones you like. In true SF fashion, though, I am talking out of ****** since I have never bough a pair of exotics and I doubt I will.

I believe that the croc #180 is (definitely was) a stock item at Madison Avenue; I've also seen the lizard there: http://www.skyvalet1.com/detail.aspx?ID=133

Oh gee I've never been on Madison Ave thanks for letting me know about the Weston shop!

I don't care about the skin quality, it's the style that I want.

Weston doesn't do runway shows, so I didn't expect you to notice.

You'd be surprised what I know about retailing and brands outside of Jil and Thom.

In that case go with Mezlan, Mauri, or David Eden. Not all of their styes are pimp styled.
