Once again, beautiful workmanship is evident.

However, the photo makes it apear the Label King's pet snail crawled across the toe box of each shoe. Next someone will try to tell me that is Suzuki's idea of a medallion.

No, it's the client's idea of a medallion. Perhaps he's taking Jun Kuwana's lead.

Having seen many of the shoes in Mr. Kuwana's collection posted on Cobbler's Site, I can understand that at some point new and personalized designs can broaden a gentleman's collection.

Certainly, Mr. Cusey, your personal collection might have reached the point where it can enjoy (and perhaps benefit from) such unique personal design input. Perhaps you are simply holding back on us? I await such a report of holdbacks with anticipatory glee! I learn from and enjoy your insight on fine shoes. Many thanks.
