Awesome detail on that scotch grain in the 2nd shot!

Since Unionmade shuttered, I don't know of anyone doing a black suede LHS. Anybody have any leads?

Mmmm. Totally one my short list of things I still need.

Was talking to friends at http://harrisonlimited.com/ yesterday and they mentioned they have two more pairs of Whiskey Shell Alden Tassel loafers left from a recent makeup run. (sizes 9.5D & 11.5D)

Rusticalf Indy via Ealdwine, getting the grill mat and grill ready for steaks this evening (it's almost 70 here)

Wearing my favorite pair of color 8 I own. AoC chukka makeup. Speaking of AoC - I have some store credit there and I’m curious to hear y’all’s thoughts about the boot/shoe you would purchase from them. Excluding all shell. I’m leaning towards either the snuff suede Indy or one of the 6 eyelet chukka makeups (snuff vs reverse earth)

Those look perfect. Like they’ve been worn frequently yet well taken care of. And they are killer with those trousers. Thanks for posting.

It's hard to go wrong with a snuff suede Indy

I know I know. I love Indy’s and the fit of the TB last is the best for me hence my choices. I feel like the reverse earth chamois 6 eyelet chukka would be pretty awesome though. I do have a lot of casual boots though and I figured the snuff Indy/chukka would get more business casual wear

Thanks! These were my first pair of shell I purchased around 3 years ago and I’m hoping to get many more years out of them ?

Well, the standard answer on Style Forum shoe threads is "Get them both".

Finally found out how to break in the stiff leather soles on GS shoes. Suede longwings are sublime.
