IIRC, the choco is the zonta suede. Would love the Bingham or an oxford in that suede.

Does anyone have the other brown suede and can comment on quality?

I got a pair of Binghams in "Brown suede" and it's on par with Tricker's suede and other suedes. I'm pretty sure it's C.F. Stead-suede.

It's high quality, but that Zonta stuff is something else.

This is my dilemna, ha. Think I prefer the brown suede oxford, but may go with the tobacco for the Zonta.

Been a while. Just got the L&T string loafers in fox suede - will echo what others have said which is that these (L&T shoes, not necessarily this model) look and feel like a pair more in line with $500 - $600 shoes. I say that as a cranky, critical, non-enthusiastic sort. Looking forward to the weather in NYC cooperating soon and busting them out, beating them up a little in jeans and a t-shirt. Those Bonafe suede derbys are calling my name and I may not be able to hold out this time...

Oh man. I told myself I wouldn't but I just did...

Yes its CF Stead. The Choko and Tobacco and Fox is Zonta! Very hard to come by and always out of stock. :confused2:

This is going to sound blasphemous, given the timeline, but I JUST tried on my EB Gatoraide’s...holy **** they are sexy. Amazing pair

Interest check in a GMTO for a Barbaro loafer in a brown grain leather. Anyone else? Just me?
I’m right there with you. I’ve got the Kingsley in dark brown Utah and absolutely love them, I’d love to get the Barbaro loafer in the same leather. Plus matching belt?

I don’t think I’m alone when I say I’d love to see more pictures... I feel like the barbaro in Utah could work in literally every situation, suits to jeans...

My latest video is my Enzo Bonafè unboxing from Skoaktiebolaget. I hope that I pronounced the name right in the video, but I doubt it LOL. I tried.



Looks very professional. Reminds me I need to step up our Youtube game. Takes sooooo much time though.

Thank you! And you’re absolutely right as far as the amount of time it takes. The recording is the easy part, the editing and everything that comes with the post production is the crazy part. I’m getting better at it but it still takes me a long time especially in this type of video where I’m using multiple cameras.
