Thank you sir.
Yes, ww2 boot for epaulet. Thrilled to have them.

Those are incredible.

A few months ago, the Epaulet site listed one of these available, and it happened to be in my size. I ordered it, only to find out a day later that it was not actually in stock.

yeah, that's been my experience ordering from epaulet or leffot this summer. Been a run of bad luck I guess (although my wallet has been thankful!)

You all interested in a C&J whiskey shell bal boot?

I've received the "sorry, out of stock" email from a few retailers. I hate that email.

Thanks mike.

nice find. calf version is grossly overpriced but only $180 premium for shell actually a good value

Carmina cognac shell

Terrific boots and an exceptional value.

That Marlow penny doesn't show enough wear though! Best loafer

How does that Dinlacker fit? I need some Austro-Hungarian shell, something from Vass, Dinlacker, Buday, etc.

Also, how's the quality of the cordovan on those Duckies?

It's horween shell, nice finish. Fit quite close to P2 for me, just a bit more width and instep room which is perfect for me

And for loafer still not a fan and not sure how to wear. Keeping it as it is the best shell loafer so maybe one day

It's usually my first choice shoe for wear with an odd jacket and no tie... or slacks and a shirt...

Can also wear it with jeans easily
