Haha.

I love the middle tie in the top row.

What a gaudy collection of merchandise.

I was not that into the wovens, and I usually like woven ties. But the madders and printed wools were lovely.

I had a great time at the CSE-2008. Met some styleforum members. Had a great educational seminar by John Green on suits.

Ron's shoes were excellent. He has some incredible shell colors (such as blue). Andy was a very gracious host, as was Alex Kabbaz (got my wife interested in some Zimmerli pajamas).

I'm going to try to make it an annual event for me.

Avaviva, there are some nice examples on display.

I feel dumb.

I had CSE down for the end of March. Don't know how I got that impression.

Sounds like it was pretty cool.

Sorry for the relatively late post. I'm still in NYC staying w/ my brother and his wife.

The three of us went and had a great time. Learned a lot in conversations w/ John Green, Joelle Kelly, and Ron Rider at their displays, as well as w/ jcusey, shawndo, lee44106 and his wife. Nice to meet chorse123, KentWang, Manton, A. Kabbaz, and Andy of AAAC, and a couple others whose names, I'm embarrassed to say, I can't recall at the moment. Was hoping to see edmorel there to discuss hot Xn sex.

Ron's shell boots were 675 for the chukkas and 700 for the slightly higher ones, I believe. I remember those bec. I'm debating which of the two to get--leaning toward the chukka. Loved the green bowling-style shoe too. Great picts mack11211.

The foreground shoe reminds me of my bespoke Lattanzis.



Great with ritzier jeans.

'Unwearable' is a harsh descriptor, but it wouldn't be hyperbolous here.

I hope Ron will post more details on the boot enterprise soon.

(Hint hint, Ron!)

That "sports sneaker" is actually shell cordovan in green, if I recall correctly. Quite neat.

Not sure why but I find this sentence to be very disturbing.

The Lattis are beaten by far.

Ed, I'll see your boots and raise you two pairs. Here are Martegani chelseas in color #6: and monkstraps in color #6 (Rider's picture of my shoes): and saddle shoes in whiskey and mahogany (again, Rider's pictures of my shoes): I'm also awaiting captoe lace-up boots in mahagony that I returned for modification. I really like Ron's unique shell colors. Wish I could have made it to the CSE. What are the chances of holding the next one outside the NYC area?
