I'm ashamed to say that I don't own any brown suede shoes although it's a must. I'll try.

That was me last Sunday attending two concerts.
Isaia Blue blazer, grey Valentini slacks, striped Drakes shirt,
suede three-eyelet derbies from L Reiter. No tie.

i think i may have the requisite items for this.


We know you have the requisite items for this. If opening a book you're 2/1 favourite to win and no price offered for an each way bet as you're nailed on for top 3 (imho)

I'm in.

No suede shoes.

I may participate, though I can't be held responsible if my submissions bore you to death.

If you're going for casual shoes, how about light colored calf/cordovan shoes as a substitute? You are severely limiting the amount of members that can join. Some don't own suede. Pretty much everyone owns navy blazer + grey pents. (Except @sugarbutch, dafuq?)

Do people seriously not own suede shoes? Is that actually a thing?

I've owned two pairs in the past but they weren't for me. They're nice looking and all, but I don't like to have to do a lot of maitenance. At least with calf and cordo you can buff out the deep scratches. With suede, I've ripped the hairs clean off. I'm kinda clumsy when I run up escalators and stuff.

I'm heavily considering never buying another pair of calf shoes...

I do have to admit, I've been considering buying these to wear with casual suits just cause they're so beautiful, and I know they're fit.

Never again for loafer though, because those need to be able to take a lot of abuse. I wear loafers almost every day now, with SC + trousers
