Cigar longwings this am:

Looking stellar in your Cigar LWBs. With the dark edge treatment, they remind me a lot of the Marlow.

whiskey tanker

Hot diggity dog, those look superb in action DV! Can't wait to get mine rolling!

This time with the pic. Ha.

Nice LWBs. A great alternative to the Whiskey LWB! Picture helps!

Killer classic Indy Boots. Do you rock those Rivets with that large of a cuff? Pretty large cuff...

I like you but you are incorrect!

Absolutely stellar buda! Agree that all the lasts afford a different flair. I particularly like the longer toe stitch available on the Aberdeen NST.

Some recent pictures of the interior of BROGUE men's store in Menlo Park, CA. The Grand Opening is scheduled for this Friday and Saturday. Representatives from Alden and Robert Talbott will be on hand. Come by and meet the new shop owners Mack and Momo. 781 Santa Cruz Ave.

Big congrats to Mack! His store is looking great and has come along very nicely. Looks like a great combination of brands!

Great read. I shared it with some friends who inquire about my shoe enthusiasm.

Snuff suede wingtip boots courtesy of Brick & Mortar today.

Those snuffs are looking roughed out, which provides a cool appearance.

Hump day tobacco

Terrific looking Cigars JD! Love them Cigars. Took me a while to figure out what you meant by Tobacco... I thought you were talking about that shade...

Looks like cigar was a popular choice today.

Yesterday was Cigar day, but those are looking stellar. Looks good with the combo.

Ravello Chukka today.

Looks good JSO, like it with the gray Selvedge.

Here's a couple more photos with better focus:






I'm not sure exactly what it is—it does have texture to it, so it might be a scratch.

Tobias, that looks concerning. I would try and deer bone that for a while.

Ravello Brixtons.

Zippy, those are redic.

Ravello LWBs yesterday

Color 8 Alt Weins today

Henry, both of those samples are stellar and well paired. But those Ravellos are maturing nicely!!!

Black shell Bristol wingtip boots x Leffot today.

I've been meaning to pick up some kind of black shell and wanted these so bad. They're out in my size though. I think this makeup works best on the Plaza last.

Very nice gentleman!

Check with Yenni at Brick+Mortar. She has run an order with a May delivery. I went with her make up on the Plaza over that of Leffot as I preferred the Double Waterloc sole.
