The Bespoke Shoes Thread

[ValidusLA]

Someone should get a bespoke wholecut made such that you can put wings or a cap toe at the front, like the nose on Mr. Potato Head.

Imagine the mixed materials!

Pure artisan skill! So dapper.

I forgot one thing. There are people here who wear tasseled loafers. Tasseled loafers! Who the hell came up with that? You wear something like that in many places of the world and you will get asked in which circus you perform. (/end rant).

Leave our wholecuts alone!

I have to say, this thread has made me want some brown wholecuts.

Man, those G&Gs are ... really ugly

I have to say, this thread has made me want some brown wholecuts.

Hopefully convinced you enough to purchase one without a medallion and non-patina'd.

Non patina I agree but if you order brown medallion please…

 

[dieworkwear]

Get a medallion sticker and add at your whimsy.

And some people want green suede gatorskin loafers.

About to pull the trigger. I will make some of you happy to know that I'm going with a medallion-less brown box calf (aka no patina) whole cut.

There will be one seem on the heel because the price would double for a seamless whole cut, and I can't quite convince myself to drop that much dough to remove one little seam I'll barely notice, and no one else will care.

Double? Sounds crazy unless it’s “cheap” to start with

Yes "cheap" to start with. It's not the $5000 variety

Neither of those but with a punched cap

Doesn't that make it a reverse split toe?

I think I would even consent to placing a punched cap on a wholecut or even a medallion before the spawn of Satan.. A patina!

 

[clee1982]

I would say only no medallion if you do a black whole cut …
