@savvysartorial Love that shoe and shade!

@djbanor Highly spectacular ! Congrats !

Thank you! I love balmoral shortwings and when whiskey starts to fade, it's so deep and rich.

My wife says I have too many of the same brown suede shoes. How can she not see the differences?

Those are no where near the same color, and as an aside, how can one have "too many" suede shoes or boots?

Breaking in the Tom lasted loafers from Brogue. Am able to wear them while walking the pooch as much of the snow has melted. Decided to give them a quick wiping/brushing after our morning walk.......

These things already exhibit amazing color. Really looking forward to getting these into the rotation once things start approaching normal.

That was/is my point especially since I am about to add this one...

These look browner than mine, which is a good thing. What polish do you use?

Did a little brushing and cleanup on these recently. Classic color 8 tankers

Got outside today for the first time a couple weeks. The snow has melted and it's in the mid-50s. Didn't do much. just dropped my newly minted teenage daughter off for pizza with her best friend. It's the first time they're together in a couple months. At least they get to sit outside on the curb and eat a slice socially distanced from each other. LOL.

Even in the mid-day light, the shadows are long this time of year. It's hard to get a good pic. DC Cigar U-tips still bringing as much joy as they did when they arrived. Even my wife has remarked how nice they are when she saw me put them on. My Color #8 Indys don't even get a second glance.

These look amazing. Was this part of that Mocha/Cigar run they just did?

Yes. I was part of the second distribution. When I bought my color #8 I asked if they were going to run Cigar at any point. They put me on the Mocha list. After a year of being told Mocha/Cigar/Mocha/Cigar, my pair came in as Cigar. I couldn't have been happier. I wanted Cigar and got it. I know everyone has their preferences, but Cigar is my favorite shade of shell. I just love med-dark brown shoes. My dark oak Alfred Sargents are my favorite dress shoes.

Gotcha, I haven't gotten to wear my mocha pair out in the sun so I was just trying to gauge what they would potentially look like
