As for a nubuck strap I would be surprised if Gaz doesn't have this.

Wow! I had forgotten about this post! Thanks for digging it up

^ You're welcome. And thank you for writing the piece in the first place.

Tanino Crisci, Dukke model from S/S 2009 bought from a discount outlet selling mostly cheaper Italian brands. retail around 700 USD, paid 175. I was not familiar with the brand, might go back and buy some blue calf loafers.

Great collection - brown suede monk maybe?

 

[Ich_Dien]

Boots?

 

[Slewfoot]

theyare - nice stuff! Any or all of the following I imagine could be welcome additions. With a more casual or flannel suit any of them should work well. Plus always nice to have things for when one does wear khakis and corduroys.

- derbies
- dark brown suede
- scotch grain/country calf

forget the grained calf/ more like an old cow but suede i tihnk is nice if you get derby's look at exotics insted of old scar cow leather

^ Ha! To each their own! I think scotch grain/country calf works nicely with USA Northeast winters and goes well with my existing wardrobe. Touch to beat a pair of elegant derbies or EG Galway/AS Culford boot in pebble grain for the winter.
