There seems to be a lot of hate for the Leffot Naval boot going on recently. I personally love the boot, so much so I'm ordering a pair this weekend. I think the combo of perforated captoe, all eyelets and colo #8 is great. I think the boot is both masculine and beefy while still being refined and classic.
While I've kept my eye on the J. Crew boot for a while but I really don't like how speed hooks tend to chew up laces. The only change I'd make to the Leffot boot would be to add a commando or dainit sole - which I may have B. Nelson do.
Very nice and very classy. Wonderful looking short wing bals El. These shoes are a gentleman's wardrobe essential.
Alden 974s. While I love my CXL longwings with a passion, these are quickly elevating themselves to my favorite office shoe.
Uncle Mac, just like you promised, your #8 NST's are looking good.#8 NST

I wouldn't recommend light edging / welt for color 8 models like balmoral wingtips / captoes, full strap loafers, saddles, grant/plaza boots, etc...
But for models that can be worn more casually (longwings, barrie boots, LHS, even chukkas or PTBs), the antique edging really makes the shoe "pop." It does make the shoe more casual, but they still go credibly with pants like grey wool / flannel, navy, etc.
Papa Doble-I originally started with 14D on Barrie and found them to be too big, but certainly wearable, specially on the Aberdeen last with lace-up. I found that 13D and 13E were a lot more available and it seemed a fair amount of rare colors were left...if you worked on the relationship with the store. I tried a few pair, in particular the 13D in Chukka's on Barrie...those fit very well, and 13E on Aberdeen and those fit too. Therefore I tried some 13D and all have fit. A tad snug in some cases but not uncomfortable, more of a fit like my custom cowboy boots which fit like a glove. I'm doing the Mac Method for break in and all pairs are comfortable.Wow, you're really on a roll. Can you remind me: do you take a particularly large or small size? That's the only way I can imagine being able to find all these rare styles.
who you calling a hipster??
Aninteresting topic for sure. Lately in the quarter there seems to be a battle brewing between natives and hipsters who are buying up property. I noticed an individual wearing a t shirt the other day which read kill the hipsters. What exactly defines a hipster?
This is my favorite part:Ill defined at best. http://nplusonemag.com/what-was-hipster
