What an odd Ralph Lauren shirt. The fit is weird for a Medium.

Definitely women’s, men’s size would be to the side not below. Not really worth much for flip either

Twas a Gucci kinda day

And another pic of those mystery monk straps, just in case any has a lead

They're obviously bespoke and they're beautifully made. Love to learn more about them but so far my Google skills have failed me

 

[kbadgley84]

Wimmenz based on the buttoning

A lot of the super old polo, the pre country stuff the women’s shirts buttoned in the men’s side. Love when they throw that curveball at ya

Size?

 

[JohnAAG]

Size?

Marked 8.5 but they fit more like a U.S. 10B

Those monks are good. What's the sole look like?

Got some Alden 932's from @Coldsnap. Finally got around to cleaning them up. Thanks again, dude.

Also tried some things with these AE Presidio's I picked up.

Is the signature the same in both? His handwriting is awful.

Obviously "L. De ******, fatto a Mano, ** spedizione".

I'd bet my bottom dollar the L stands for Lorenzo as not too many popular male names start with an "L" in Italy and a great number of people who work with leather and shoes come from Florence where that is a very popular name after Lorenzo il Magnifico.

It's definitely handwritten. I found another pair from the same maker at the store

Sadly these were a little too beaten up to kopp.

That shine is beautiful

Interesting. That shoe claims they've been in business since 1922.

Didn't buy. Just thought the label was cool.

I got these though.

Cat sweater and linen pants. Real?

Isn't Allen Edmonds also founded 1922?? Any connection?

I was going to guess 'Larry'
