    Antonio Meccariello Shoes

    New style from the workshop. I like it quite a lot. Also, seems to be a very rare choice by the Maesteo - Ilcea museum calf available this time.

    The Berluti shoe thread

    It depends on whether we are always referring to the MSRP. I think one thing with these “luxury” brands is that people are often able to get items at 20-50% of the marked price, which makes the value/cost considerations substantially different. For example, a pair of John Lobb (Paris) Prestige...

    The Berluti shoe thread

    How great things age - 2 Berluti “Alessandro” 3-eyelet oxford. Purchased in 2019. Patina touch-up in 2020/21 by store patina artist. Nourished exclusively using wax and high shine coat (Bootblack) to preserve “depth” of colours as creams tend to be opaque - unlike layers of waxes that can often...

    The Berluti shoe thread

    How great things age - 1 Berluti “Andy” Infini, purchased in 2021. Regularly worn, especially on rainy days since they’ve got rubber soles. Trees were originally natural but I dyed them green myself. Nourished with Famaco “Delicate Gel” and Berluti (Avel) Wax. I don’t think the Blake...

    The Berluti shoe thread

    Yes. Just approach your preferred sales associate. The surcharge is around 30%, and the options not really many (they have constraints on how you can combine things, and you can’t really choose the last or do MTM-like adjustments). But it’s a way to realise some very unique combinations of...

    The Berluti shoe thread

    I think this construction and finishing is used for their more casual shoes. Dress shoes from the formal shoes product lines usually have “closed channel” soles, be it Blake stitched or Goodyear welted.

    Yohei Fukuda

    My Yohei Fukuda shoes (4) I wanted more seamless shoes from Yohei San. But the reality is that it isn’t currently possible - Yohei San said that his worker responsible for seamless shoes has left the workshop in late 2023. So despite successful example of a seamless full brogue for @chobochobo...

    Yohei Fukuda

    My Yohei Fukuda shoes (3) After receiving the black seamless, my desire for Yohei San’s seamless perfection intensified. Having seen photos of his lazyman (wholecut, with a seam), I decided to ask for the same to be done with a seamless upper. At this point, I have a modest shoe collection...

    My Yohei Fukuda shoes (2) After placing my first order, the desire for Yohei San’s shoes only increased. Seeing the photos of his seamless shoes on Instagram and the Shoegazing blog, I decided to order my second pair even before the first pair arrived (ordered also in 2022). Seamless 5-eyelet...

    Yohei Fukuda

    My Yohei Fukuda shoes (1) This is the first pair I ordered in 2022, MTO double monks seamless back in dark misty brown calf. The last was unadjusted chisel. There was some leather excess at the vamp areas. It is currently being sent back to the workshop for adjustments.

    May I know if the pair is bespoke or Optimum? The fit is great and leather quality amazing. Congratulations!

    Antonio Meccariello Shoes

    I want to echo @clee1982 - once you own more than a few pairs of AM shoes, you realise certain questions shall remain as mythical as Olga’s moonlight bleach patina for Berluti. P.S. Not a hater, owning more than a dozen pairs of AM shoes myself at some point
