I don't know who that guy is, but nothing about that outfit says emulate this to me.
Italian politician.

Neither I’d wear a reddish brown derby with a dark suit myself but I would with an informal suit (light to mid grey patterned flannel or fresco wool). In these lines:

Although not true bespoke, I am in the process of commissioning a pair of MTM vintage West End London-styled penny loafers from Louis Lamperstdörfer at Mogada Munich. His MTO/MTM service very much is a "Bespoke-lite" service with handwelted construction, modified lasts, and the option to customize a lot of pattern details.

I think I have finally found a way to commission the sort of English-style shoes I have always wanted on a small town lawyer budget. His fitting shoe service is the perfect answer to the inability to confirm sizing that always held me back from making an MTO order of the discontinued styles I love from English RTW makers like Lobb or Edward Green.

I am super excited and have my fingers crossed.

He has interesting designs. Who makes his RTW shoes? Enzo Bonafe, Lattanzi?

I don't know, I didn't ask. I do know both Jesper Ingevaldsson and Justin Fitzpatrick have been very complimentary of the quality of Louis' RTW shoes.

I just love that his designs and last shapes remind me of high end English RTW shoes from 20 years ago. The sort of stuff that Lobb and Edward Green doesn't make anymore like classical soft square toe loafers.

While visiting Rome I had the chance to meet with Seiichi Yoshimoto of Perticone brand, and am quite excited to commission my first pair of bespoke shoes. I’d like to see if there would be enough interest for him to come through Dallas later this year when he comes to New York for a trunk show, would it be ok if I made a thread for that?

Seiichi is such a lovely person to trade with.

How do you prefer trousers to be finished?

  • Plain hem

  • Cuffed (1.5 inches or less)

  • Cuffed (more than 1.5 inches)

  • No preference, as long as the proportions work
