HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part IV (starting May 2014)

[JohnMRobie]

I knew you'd love them. All of their shoes aren't hideous. They make custom shoes to order so you can make them however suits you.. You probably hate Taft shoes too huh?

Its crazy - if you look up the word gauche in the dictionary they have those shoes listed as an example.

With shoes like those the mods are going to have to change the thread name from Hall of Fame to Hall of Shame.

@LA Guy can confirm, but I think HOF actually stands for Head of Forum or something like that.

A relief that the name is safe in that case. Our eyes on the other hand are not.

There is that Scandinavian subtlety. Love the whole look especially the low key dress boots.

Yikes! I had no idea such things existed. I'm afraid that I'm a bit too old for things like that these days, but a couple of decades ago those would have been great shoes to go out drinking in.

Bravo! As with any successful Voyage it is best ended with a fine glass of wine!

But don't break a bottle of Champagne on the tie!

The weather in NYC is sunny, albeit colder than it has been in the last several days. I have several errands of no particular consequence to attend to this afternoon, and what better way to make them a more pleasurable experience than to dress up needlessly for them? I've had an itch to wear this suit for some time now - as good a day as any to scratch the itch.

Suit - New & Lingwood
Shirt & cufflinks - Tyrwhitt
Tie - Brooks Brothers
Braces - Paul Stuart
Pocket square - Harvie & Hudson, London
Shoes - Septieme Largeur, Paris
Overcoat - Joseph Abboud
Scarf - Johnstons of Elgin
Hat - Laird Hatters, London

The ones with hieroglyphics(?) are pretty cool. I wouldn't wear them but cool looking.
Great conversation starter.

Holy **** those are hideous. And here I was thinking Allen Edmonds had lost the plot putting trash out. Quite possibly the worst shoes I have ever seen.

The brogued cap-toe derbies in museum brown leather are the only ones of the 4 shown that are passable for me. (Still would not buy them with my money, but if someone gave me a pair in my size as a gift I'd try to find a way to wear them now and again.)

The others are...not OK.

Have you tried beckett simonon? Im curious how the sizing compares.

I was gifted a pair of double monks by the company. I took my usual size and they fit TTS.

I’m backlogged. This is from Tuesday.

Opening day colors. Hey, Chicago, what do you say

Only took some lower half pictures today.. which one of these new Amidé Hadelin knee high socks would you have paired these Galea Bespoke Deustos and sample fresco trousers with?
