Namor that is an interesting shoe. Do you know who makes that for Boss? Not really my cup of tea but not bad either. If it was a darket color or a texture I think I would like it more--but that could also be the photo.

^^^Is that a cow/bull/hog medallion? Very nice :nodding:


Its my very own Boar's head. Part of a family crest. Chay can do some awesome stuff . . . if you let him.

Chay did these for me earlier.

Just when I was taking a break from ordering new shoos. Dangit Burton!


Yep - that dark brown pin grain has me bewitched, bothered and bewildered. I've been on 'shoe buying restriction' for three months. Only had one relapse (Carminas in green shell). Think I need to get to a 12 step meeting STAT!

Either that or I just need to order up some pin grain loafers and forgive myself for it. :devil:

The pin grain really did turn out nicely. Chay really thinks quite clearly about this stuff. We texted back and forth about how to do some new things and "bam" this is what he cam up with. I wanted a pair of the Bensons and wanted them to look unique, but still wearable in a business setting (slightly more casual of course) and I think he really succeeded. So thanks for all the compliments.
