Also if you were to take 2 out of 3 which would they be:

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Great collection sir! You have a very nice variety going on there.

I would probably keep the Cigar LWBs and the Marlows. The middle shoe seems to be a combo of the two with the color and edging and you already have a great SW Blucher in the Marlow.

Have you seen the new C&J Cheviot longwing?

Also my mistake, thought those Alden's were duckie browns for a second

Stevent: who makes those two wingtip boots in the back row? Danke.

I need some green shell in my life

That Gianni looks beautiful.

Then I remember it's a boot and very uncomfortable (to me at least)

 

[NAMOR]

Boots are uncomfortable? Or Are normal width shoes uncomfortable? or is it the ******* unbearable humidity in general that bothers your existence?

 

[jrd617]

I don't like the feeling of having my ankles locked up.

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

Don't wear odd jackets / slacks or anything really. Been living in a tee and rrl officer chinos pretty much past year

Thanks! And yeah I like all three but need to cut a little

Pricing is a bit too much for me, I'd get a EG pair over it, nice shoe though

Stevent: who makes those two wingtip boots in the back row? Danke. 

Left brown pair is Crockett & Jones for Ralph Lauren Lindrick, older pair so a bit lighter in color, right pair is Alden Color 4 Cordovan Wingtip boot from The Shoemart

I need some green shell in my life

3-4 more months

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

I personally would keep all 3 but I'm perhaps not the best person to ask.

Why is there only one pair of green Carmina boots in the pics?

Yeah they are different enough when you compare them

And other pair is same so didn't put both?

no whisky

Too light for me, sold my Alden Whiskeys

@stevent - so much win - I must own loden shell at some point in my life.

Very nice sir!!!

Thanks guys, loden is amazing, hopefully Carmina allows shell again. And no EG shell!!!

@stevent completely forgot about the cipresso

Hoping the force brings them before Christmas
