These Higgins Mill natural glazed shell boots are so awesome, the only thing that could be better would be natural unglazed.

Lucky find on eBay, a pair of NOS Church’s Shannon in burgundy shell.

Best fitting shoe I’ve ever had too.

The quality and standard of finish on these really impresses me, I don’t know how old they are but I don’t think Church’s have done shell in quite a while.

These will get some white laces and brushing before wear

The Carmina penny loafers back in action.

Comfortable in my Berwick tassel loafers on what was another busy day, with me displaying at a local fair, and the Black Friday weekend sale still live at Amidé Hadelin with 20% off sitewide using discount code BF22, so on all ties, socks, cardigans, pocket squares, etc.!

Church’s Grafton in Burgundy Crup

Happy Monday!

Sold my pair earlier this year sadly. Had to accept they weren’t a good fit.

The Shannon find have made up for it though
