Perhaps.
I was trying to ask a real question, using the picture so it would fit within the context of this thread.

I thought you were trolling the thread police.

What color custom Neumoks would be appropriate if I generally don't care at all about basketball, football or hockey, don't mind baseball, and enjoy watching tennis and Formula 1?

I don't remember if this has been shot down before, but an all-white pair would be the **** for summer. Or a number of single-color options - it's like getting shoes on sale if they'll go for it.

Fifth Ave's with an after dinner cocktail....Cheers!

Um... where's the chimney for that fireplace?

Then there's the Wilbert "comfort" shoe. More casual, yes. It's on the 511 which seems to be decent for me. I like the idea of it in CXL, but what about that sole? Not sure if it's any good. Sorry, lots of questions. Thanks!

If you are thinking of the Wilbert consider the Clark Street. It is also a casual CXL split toe.

I feel like I should have used some semicolons there. Can I get a ruling? Thanks.

I would recommend going with your favorite F1 team's colors or, if you don't have a single one, just get all white and use a sharpie to write "Nico Rosberg is a whiny little *****" across both of them.


ETA: Personally I'd do red and white. Senna forever.

I've been struggling with the Brooks Brothers brown strand. It was simply too dark for my style, almost a black. I decided that I'd try my hand at lightening them, and it was my intent to hit them with some merlot polish.

I did the acetone scrub on them twice, and they lightened up nicely. I then reached for my chili polish instead, and I really like how they turned out. I grabbed some leftover tan laces, and I have effectively "Casualized" these rather formal shoes.

I should have taken some before pictures, but oh well. Here you go.. Took probably an hour and a half from start to finish.

Happy Monday everyone

Pooh, sensing something amiss, forgot it was Merlot Monday.

Loving the trousers! Since I'm taking a trouser survey... where'd those come from? Thanks.

Heck yes. Are those bourbon? Nice!

Yes sir. They are shoebank 2nd's but I've been unable to find anything wrong with them. Might be the best $177 I've ever parted with.

They are from Suitsupply. Material is called "blue birds eye" by Zignone.

This is beautiful. The shades of brown look very rich, remind me of some good Belgian chocolate.

I thought there was an AE color called Chocolate Brown, but they do not seem to make anything in it anymore.

That's a good way to describe it. I am kicking myself for not taking more pictures, given how they turned out.

The Dalton boots are made in "chocolate", a very dark, deep brown.

I have pair of Long Branch boots which are a little over a year old and have been worn 30-40 times. I work in a hospital so no real abuse to the boots. The sole of one is starting to separate from the boot. Has anyone experienced such a problem before? I called Allen Edmonds and the rep said they needed recrafting. Am I wrong to think this should be warranty?
