The pictures of the blacks with suit never cane

Didn't have much luck with Richard James unfortunately. Conflicting shooting schedules etc... We will keep trying to pull something together

It can be something more artisanal if necessary

I am going to say something a little revealing here... haven't got a black option from our upcoming collab/revival with d'avenza in the office at the moment.
We have my navy RJ trousers upstairs so if that works will find a pair of socks and we can do something today. Unfortunately model will be me.

I'll ask my colleague to come to work with a suit tomorrow so we can simply shoot the shoes on him

 

[CWV]

Cool. It does not have to be a black suit it can hebgrey or navy. I don’t own a black suit myself and I am a lawyer

When do the pre orders end? I haven't had a chance to try some CPs to nail down my size.

Just happened to have the kangaroo sample next to me

Looks terrific. My size. Is it a fairly wide sneaker? I have ordered a beige one based on my similar CP size.

Yes we just compared them with CP and the sizes are the same. Ours are just slightly wider

 

[OrlandoMo]

@CWV we couldn’t find anyone today wearing a black suit today but we got a couple of friends endorsing us

 

[EgoCamisas]

Don't you guys maybe have some more "real" pictures of the grey 'roo or anticato sienna ones? Like the ones @OrlandoMo posted of the white 'roos... Decisions are always difficult!

 

[ArchibaldRoh]

@OrlandoMo seems to have had an extremely productive afternoon...

As promised..

Tomorrow, with my suit trousers.

 

[CWV]

Great!

So we laid these out next to the common projects in our offices and it seems everyone who passed by preferred them. So I guess well done everyone who contributed.

They are slightly wider and a little shorter length wise than Common Projects and for everyone who tried... they sized very similarly. The size tool works out well.

Other feedback.. The insole is far more comfortable, ankle support is better done, leather seems nicer and the kangaroo was a big hit.

This sounds great.

Man, I am so tempted to get both an anticato and a kangaroo. The kangaroos are not in my preferred colours but I have never had a pair of shoes in that leather and I somehow feel I'd be missing on something if didn't get one. Do you maybe have more details about it? Do you know how kangaroo leather ages when in grey or white? Somehow I can't picture a nice patina by aging on a kangaroo grey shoe and I believe it is just my lack of imagination... :S
