Hey -

My name is Bill. I am 39 years old, I live in Columbus Ohio.

Just joined the forum - I came here because someone who wrote a blog I was reading referred to this forum as getting his information so. It sounded like a place where people were knowledgeable about higher end menswear.

I do photography on the side and because of that I have contracted to do work with Magnanni several times over the last couple years. So with that sometimes I work in shoes as part of my payment, so I have several pairs. My Marcelo Boots are the ones I have had the longest, they haven't been worn much and have always had a shoe tree but I have done nothing else to them otherwise. But I recently just picked up 2 more pair Friday so I am to the point now to where I need to learn more about the cleaning and care.

I just ordered ----
Saphir Medaille d'Or Pommadier Cream 75ml - Neutral
Saphir Medaille d'Or Renovator
Otter Wax Saddle Soap | 2oz | All-Natural Leather Cleaner | Made in USA
Jovitec 3 Pieces Horsehair Shoes Polish Brushes

That seemed to be a pretty decent starting point from my research. I am sorta going back on forth on the "Renovator" as they seems to be some good and bad with it. I may just return it and just use the cream for now since I am still learning proper technique and products

I look forward to lurking and learning here.

Hello Bill, you need not lurk about. Welcome to our forum!

Hi,

i have been reading these threads for a while now, but thought it was about time I registered ?. I have a love for shoes and classic menswear in general, and tend to spend way more than my partner, so should find some likeminded people over here.

Welcome!

Good afternoon all,

My name is Cale, I'm a 22 year old graduate student at the University of Missouri-Columbia. I enjoy dressing up, but struggle with looking over-dressed in most situations. So, my wardrobe relies heavily on OCBD's and casual sport coats. Being from a farming community I can often be found in cowboy boots lol. Glad to join this forum, I have much to learn.

Hi, wanting to learn about formal attire is a laudable aspiration. Investing in classic style and quality pieces is a good start. Welcome to the forum!

Staring off with Loake and straight into G&G, both of which are superb brands. Bookie indeed! Lol! Welcome!

Hi Cale, even those of us with some sartorial experience began our journey by putting one foot forward and one step at a time. Enjoy the journey. Welcome to the forum!

HI all. Long time browser. UK, nearly 50 and beginning to grow up. Getting more obsessive and more classical with my wardrobe as each year goes by. Love shoes (and polishing), ties, tweed, silk, coffee, whiskey, cigars, knives, cars, hi-fi, guitars ...you all know the story .

Keep finding myself referencing SF when exploring brands so decided to make it formal.
