Diving in to bespoke shoes
I have about a zillion pairs of shoes, but believe it or not, I don't own a single pair of plain black captoe oxfords. For this cornerstone shoe, I'd like to go full bespoke. Unfortunately, I don't know squat about the process. How do I go about this? Is there a way to get bespoke shoes made...- bleachboy

Help me buy new glasses
Hiya! So anyway, I have an appointment with my eye doctor tomorrow. Therefore, new eyeglasses are right around the corner! I was hoping some of you guys with a good sense of style could recommend either what general style of frames I should go with, or perhaps even specific frames. I'll print...- bleachboy

Brown suede wingtips
I have decided that there is a hole in my shoe cabinet that can only be filled by a brown suede wingtip. I actually only own one pair of suede shoes in general, which are C&J Tetburys in dark brown suede. As such, I suppose I'd prefer to avoid C&J, normally my favorite shoe brand...- bleachboy

Rookie darkens shoes with common household objects
I ordered a bunch of Saphir stuff the other day. It came in the mail this afternoon, and of course I had to bust it out and try it out. A few years ago, Brooks Brothers unloaded a bunch of Crockett and Jones Weymouths (Peal & Co) for really cheap. So I bought a pair. Unfortunately, I never...- bleachboy

Polishing my Alden LHS
So I have a pair of burgundy shell cordovan Alden LHSs that could use a polish. Is this something that is done? Will polishing ruin the lovely contrast stitching, or do I just need to be super careful? Or should I just leave them alone and rock the patina? Any tips/experience/horror stories...- bleachboy

Grenadine ties: Online source?
So, I keep hearing how incredibly great grenadine silk ties are and I'm ready to plunge in and buy a couple (like, say, navy, burgundy, and gold.. or whatnot). Can anybody suggest an online source? My local menswear shops didn't seem to know what I was talking about. :P- bleachboy

CRITIQUE: New suit and overcoat
Here's a new gray flannel suit from Thick as Thieves and a new wool/cashmere overcoat from mytailorstore. What do you think? The sleeve lengths aren't as wonky as they look in that first pic. I was standing funny or something. Did not take a pic of the electric blue lining. Alas.- bleachboy

Electric blue shoes? Don't mind if I do!
I really like the idea of a traditional shoe in an unexpected color. But I really can't stomach paying top dollar for a shoe I can only wear rarely. So.. $64.99 "discount store" Florsheim cap-toe oxfords: (plus lots of elbow grease and some electric blue leather dye) Electric blue cap-toe...- bleachboy
