Is that pretty standard or did you get them at a special time?

Again, I fail to see the value. Seems like $600 of that is for the name alone.

Not sure what you mean by this? Is the workmanship, quality of leather not up to JL standard?

Oh, I see. You're paying for the workmanship.

Carry on.

So you don't think any high end shoe is worth the money?

Doesn't matter what I think. What do you think?

I generally don't mind paying for the workmanship but not for that much and not for a loafer.

Justifies the price since being one of the best in the world for shoe making.

Workmanship is waaaay overrated here, can anyone explain why it is important and at what level the additional return ends of tend toward zero?
