Burgundy..... can't have too many burgundy shoes. I wonder how it'll look in aubergine...

It wasn't raining, so the Wedgwoods went on their maiden trip today.

one of my few shoes where the sole isn't too slippery on first wear. Looks like these won't get topied after all. Now I wish I had the toe taps done up.. They wear and fit very well.

Some new photography....

Happy Easter weekend to all!

Sincerely,

Justin

A cross post from the Boots Boots Boots thread, but I just recently got my burgundy and burgundy Wedgwood boots from Justin and I love them. Super comfy right out of the box and the toe taps I had installed before he shipped them to me are really well done.
I've darkened these a bit (purely personal preference) with some blue cream polish and a few coats of blue wax (plus one each of burgundy and black wax) and already have received several compliments on them. The red really comes through in the sun, which we thankfully still have here in Cape Town, and is slightly more muted indoors, which makes them quite wearable though obviously not UCBD! The pictures on my crappy tablet do not do them justice....
I can't thank Justin enough for not just the great boots (plus the other pairs of shoes I have from him), but also the great service. Have to hold off for a while now, but some MTOs will be mine when I am able to break the spending freeze!

what do you all think of these new models created by one of my stockists in South Korea (sundanceshop.co.kr)?

one is the classic monkstrap with a straight cap, called the Kent and the other is essentially with Windermere without the medallion, called the Redmond.

Those are both very sharp.

Nice looking soft chisel toes. An existing last I presume?

A sneak peek of 2 colorways our new Madison penny loafer will be coming in. Hopefully launching at the end of this week, at the latest beginning of next.

Those look great! Any chance of a black or navy leather one?

 

[The Shoe Snob]

Thank you! Yes, there will also be a black calf as well as a antique brown one....

The post and pictures that I uploaded on the blog yesterday, thought some of you might find it interesting

"For those of you that remember, last year I had a patina collaboration between Dandy Shoe Care and my shoe brand, J.FitzPatrick. We used my Tony II model and it was a great treat seeing all of the interesting concoctions that people came up with. As a thank you to Alexander for doing such a great job and working with me on it, I gifted him a pair of shoes to see what he could do with them. Being a master in patina you can imagine how long it took him to simply think of the infinite possibilities that he could come up with. Keeping it quite on form with the pattern of the shoe, he created what he coined the “1920’s Patina.” Having that Gatsby like feel, he did himself a nice spectator styled patina that really accentuates the brogueing of the pattern. Lovely!

On another note, we will soon be relaunching this collaboration between J.FitzPatrick and DSC, but this time on our Greenwood model (see below). Stay tuned and for those that are eagerly awaiting, I will take pre-orders. (should launch within 2 weeks +/-)

Enjoy the sun for those of you in London!"

Not a finish I would wear but I definitely would admire as a art kind of thing
