The color of the suede is great! The stitching at the toe is quite creative.

I do hear they are hard to come by. Does he make trips to Sydney? Maybe you could ask him the next time you see him.

Are they still deporting convicts there?

They stopped a hundred years ago but the lack of tailors here will surely earn him sufficient immigration brownie points to let him into the country

I hope Darren isn't reading this, as I fear it will put ideas in his head.

Nice shoes, RJMan. I look forward to seeing the customized patination. Will you have them tattooed as well?
