     Hey Stevent, The green rapello suede boots are three kinds of awesome sauce. I wore them a lot this winter, including show and slush and stuff for two weeks in January. They did fine. I ordered the same in pebble grain - but they came so late in the season that they are snoozing in the...

    Rock Your Socks- show your sock, shoe & pant combos

     BUY THESE! I love my Carminas in green shell. It's about time to pull them off the old shelf and brush them up for fall/winter. They've been chillin' in the dark cool closet all summer. :fonz:

    Jacket for tropical weather?

    Look for lightweight wool, and unlined or partially lined. It's the lining that makes the jacket hot. Consider high tech fabrics for undershirt - a good skin tight wicking undershirt is your best friend in a hot humid climate.

    ** Quintessential Crockett & Jones Thread ** (reviews, quality, etc...)

     Things are quite well, hope the same for you! Things in the design world went from famine to feast about 6 months ago. I don't hang on SF at the moment. But hope to be back at some point. I've moved on the Paleo diet boards in the meantime. Gotta be addicted to learning something new -...

    ** Quintessential Crockett & Jones Thread ** (reviews, quality, etc...)

     @ Namor Boo! Yes - Two pairs - they are very dressy for loafers (something about the long last) so I wear them mostly with the odd jacket/trou combos. I like a more 'casual' looking loafer for jeans/khakis.

    Now I'm talking from memory here - but didn't we previously determine that Reno contains Pine Oil and not turpentine? They are two similar, but different, things.

     Did you get those from HRH? They look just as beat up as his infamous Lobbs. Wonderful old things, they are.

     Very interesting PB. I went through my first jar of Reno pretty quickly (about a year), as I basically started using it as my 'one stop' treatment. But I've not replaced that Reno as I started to worry that the continuous 'lifting off' of the existing finish could not be good for my shoes...

    **The Official Shoe Care Thread: Tutorials, Photos, etc.**

    Reno is really not intended for constant use. It is intended to be used only periodically as it includes a certain amount of solvent which is designed to lift a small amount of polish and embedded dirt. For frequent conditioning I use leather lotion or simply cream polish. It's not really...

    Three years later... "Critique / make suggestions / comment on my shoe collection" redux!

    y u no love the lobbs? :D They look nearly unworn What I notice that your collection is predominantly from US makers. I think it would be more interesting to see some shoes from Europe in the mix. The lasts are more complex and interesting in general and even if you want to stay within...

    **The Official Shoe Care Thread: Tutorials, Photos, etc.**

     My 'Italian Polish' which consisted of multiple layers of cream polish rubbed firmly into the leather proved to be rather 'fugitive'. It makes for a great way to develop patina quickly but do be prepared for the color to move around a bit. Particularly getting lighter in the creases...

     That's it! Talk dirty to me. I LOVE THAT! It's not that they don't fit ok. I just don't care for it. As for the fit the forefoot is fairly wide - but as you can see the widest part is fairly far back on the foot. I think the part that bothers me the most is that the rear quarters are...

     Thanks - love the snuff suede with purple socks. Just not sure I can take the shape of this last. It really doesn't appeal to me for some reason.
