Besides...aren't yours bespoke?

By the way, I have 2 on order with Clifford Roberts...due any day now


Yes these are bespoke, so quite a bit more than 950. I am happy to pay extra for comfort. My feet go almost flat when I stand so I need compensation for that.

Beautiful colour. Lovely shoes... great wax works too. It's really the simple time-honoured bespoke shoes that do it for me as opposed to the modern interpretations and interpolations and wild styles. Simple punch cap oxford deliciously executed. Does anyone know where he gets his leathers from? Germany?

Tom, not really feeling the faux lace Cleverleys... not my thing. They look well done though, and you don't wear em for me, so wear them with a pep in your step, "lampin' " on Rodeo Drive like FlavaFlav would have back in the day. J

i would think he get his leather from all over, thro i think alot of makers get their blacks from germany and their brown and red tone from the french

he'd need a fringging big ass clock on a thick gold chain first
