The Westfields (from the catalogue) have some brogueing and a medallion, and are in Tobacco Calf Suede. Different last too: 341 - benchgrade. (Sorry for the list, nii.)
These seem to be Espresso. They look like Hallams, but on the 337 last.

Ladies, Gentleman, and srivats: I present the very first pair of suede shoes posted in this thread, these Lattanzi loafers:

Suede is a napped leather buffed on the grain surface. What you boys have here, page after page, is reverse calf, where the full grain is simply turned inside out. It is not suede.

It has been a pleasure visiting all of you.

The jacket buttons too, or are they just plain reverse calf?

(Corozo, right?)

And, how do you tell the difference???

I thought nubuck was the grain side and suede was the underside?

contradicted by every popular source on the web. both are sanded or buffed to produce the nap nubuck is buffed on the grain/skin/exterior suede is buffed on the opposite side

I believe that my post is pretty popular, judging by the response so far.

That's all you got?!? What happened to the snark. You mock 522 posts, 35 pages of thread - you call out srivats (that was kinda funny) and that's all you've got?

This Peal & Co for Brooks Brothers boot I picked up today.

I could not resist the net price, "free".

20% off clearance, $25 off card, 2 Reward Cards. And I needed a pair of casual boots.
