You may seriously need to lock up your collection; install a new security system complete with motion sensors and booby traps!

MrDV,

Not much to be said that had not already. Absolutely stunning collection. I have been on a bit of a less is more lately and the simplified beauty of the PTB really stands out in this picture to me.
I see you have zero CXL in your collection, is there any particular reason? The blue suede shoes are like Where's Waldo in that sea of shell

I actually admire his suede collection quite a bit. The snuff-color 8 saddles are my favorites.

 

[rydenfan]

I love those snuff #8 saddles as well. I am considering an MTO from another brand just to try and replicate something similar.

I was more referring to the bright pop of blue than anything else. I completely agree on the suede collection. I think it looks great and goes to shoe you can have a versatile suede collection without having a chukka
