Japanese Shoes: Bespoke & RTW Super Thread

[FlyingMonkey]

Despite the incredible skill involved, I've got to say that those are just over my personal line dividing uniquely beautiful from ridiculous.

Harder to be born into aristocracy than having a pair of croc loafers made lol.

Is this the omakase type of order? Clever way of filling the spec.

Other than the coin surprise, I think the design/spec was reviewed and agreed upon, considering the high price of the material....
The client seemed to have a pretty clear idea of what he wanted. A croc loafer in the style of LHS or 180, to be worn with multiple layers of socks...... maybe he has a medical condition

Interesting, thanks. In the interview he talks about getting his clothes made at Idem in Ginza - but if you check their website (which is tricky to find anyway), they only seem to make women's clothes... I will have to go down and check it out myself.

The tailor, I.D.E.M., shares the showroom with Guild. I recall they are tucked in the back of the store (the front part is Guild). and yes, they do make men's clothing.
