If pairing with a black tux, the 9341 Aberdeen lasted plain toe oxford in black shell is a pretty savvy choice. It gets a formality ding for being shell. But if you’re into subtle, daring, intentional, rebelliousness, this is your piece de resistance, not the bauhaus wrist watch, not the illuminati cuff links. The Plaza lasted black plain toe shell oxford would pair with a slim fitting tux and the 8815 black shell plain toe slip on (270 welt) is another dark horse contender in this arena. Each having additional formality dings, if you’re into flat out malfeasance and dirty martini’s. The former having a chiseled toe and the later having a larger sole and vamp. Hey, this was fun!
I like the way you think.

Happily, they are a stock make up and can be obtained through any retailer without the 6-7 month wait.
Oxymoronically, the very reason I’ve been waiting lol. I can get it anytime. Actually, I picked up three or four stock models recently. But that one is definitely on my list. Just so many awesome makeups going around. Resistance is futile.

Thanks for the suggestions fellas.
Will give the round laces a go~

Seems the plaza last is more dressy with boots and Aberdeen more with lace up shoes. In any regard, feeling blessed.

Out and about today. Alden plain toe boot, color 8.

Who says not working can't be fun? Trying to make the best of being out of work.
