I thought I'd start a thread for suede appreciation

From LSH? You may have tempted me to get a pair.

Very nice. Why did you opt for these over the sand suede? I don't think you could go wrong either way.

The tan suede is too light for my taste ... I usually like my shoes to be as dark or darker than my trousers. This is the reason why I do not have any whiskey shells as well.

If you are looking to buy these suede NSTs, contact Tom asap - they are selling FAST.

@MoK: what's up with the soles of the Monks? The side really looks not good... cracked?

With, imho suede is too casual to go along well with the plain oxford design.

It's just the natural crepe rubber is quite textured.

I've never owned a suede shoe before but this thread may change my mind!
