[MENTION=17354]mebejoseph[/MENTION] - interesting makeup of those button boots. I forgot about the two-tone in addition to the wingtip

I know they are not for everybody, but I really do love them. I was a bit afraid I wouldn't, because I wasn't sure about the pebble texture leather, but Justin suggested it, so I went with it. And it works!

after about a month of waiting, finally picking up my custom brown buffalo leather strap from jean rousseau. the original croc was stiff and most importantly too loose for my flimsy wrist even on the tightest setting

Let's see... In the last week:


Allen Edmonds Kenwood penny loafers from eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/170785943377...84.m1497.l2649


Picked up a vintage Coach messenger bag from the 80's that was pretty faded and had some pen marks on it... Here it is after some TLC with a nice patina:














A little discoloration where I took the ink off, but okay...


And last night I ordered the LEC linen shorts in Fresh Cream multiplaid and Indigo:

I absolutely love the bag man. Really sharp. I find it difficult to find bags that I like, or luggage generally. Few places seem to sell anything classic or timeless at the moment - it's all super modern designs or cheap looking fabric.

I don't know anything about watches--what's a good watch; what's not, etc.--but that sure is a good looking one.

Stopped at the Truman Boot Co. storefront in Boulder on our road trip. Getting to handle/see the leathers in person really helped me get a MUCH better idea of what each is, despite the great photography on the website.

Ended up checking my willpower at the door and ordered my second pair. I couldn't get over how amazing the Black Burgundy was, so yeah these are on their way to me as soon as they're made.

[MENTION=15101]armedferret[/MENTION] I really like the look of those boots! Do they fit TTS? And price, reasonable?

I brannock 9.5B, and wear that in most AEs save Daltons which are 10B. I was recommended to do 10B by Truman and it's perfect.

Hickey Freeman suit - Loro Piano grey windowpane - in a year-around weight. $1800 list, got it at the Rack for $400+

Just picked these up from BR for $80 with tax + shipping. I think they're fine for wearing to the office with slacks, but wondering whether they could be worn with a suit as well. Too casual?

Open lacing + wingtip brogues are probably too casual for a suit, unless it's a casual suit.
