Random fashion thoughts - Part II (A New Hope)

I'd buy that magazine

lol

Btw Oliver Spencer used to make creepers a couple of years ago when I was interested in him, which weren't bad for the price. Don't know if he still does.

I think a plain black derby with a ripple sole would be best, like what yuketen does..

I really dislike the additional details and contrast stitching in your mock ups.

What happened to the Scandi-mod-Color block thing u had going? Now it's like you're going full thrift shop.

All this shoe talk makes me want to get new work shoes to wear with suits. I have some old Loakes that a pretty beat at this point.

Trickers country shoes with a commando sole look cool.

I keep holding off an a1923 derby mainly cuz I can't find it for under 1k.

Re truckers, stows and eaton (I think that's model name) are really nice. Kinda rockabilly look.

This was me a year ago: I was working in clothing sales and lusted after brands like Edward Green, Gaziano & Girling and Enzo Bonafe. At its peak, I (somehow) justified buying myself a pair of Corthay Arcas when the employee double discount event was going on - it was at the top of my holy grail list of dress shoes.

I don't frequent CM as much as I used to - as my clothing interests have swayed away from that side since I left that job - but man, do I still want a pair of Enzo Bonafe button boots.

Incidentally, I started getting into Margiela during the same time period. Sadly, I still only have one piece from the brand.

The details and contrast stitching are all the default for George Cox, only thing I've changed in all the pics is the bottom of the sole.

Regarding the previous direction, I simply got terribly bored with dressing so safe all the time, so I think this more aggresive direction is the counter-reaction to that.

But it's also like, I still reguarly wear the same fits I wore a year ago, but I don't see the point in posting those, so what you guys get to see is me just trying new **** out.

i want something slightly rounder. the rain model has a slightly squared off toe.

@KoY: Good on you to experiment I'm sorry my tone was more confrontational than I wanted it to be haha.

Doesn't the archive have a kudu one on sale for around 1k?

Nah no worries, I fully understand why others might be confused about the change in the direction seeing how I had a pretty good thing going.
But yeah I just got bored, paired with the fact that it no longer felt like I was doing something unique or new (relatively anyway) which prompted this new direction.

My cobbler didn't have any ripple soles so it'd just be a normal topy on top of the crepe, so they would more or less look the same as how they originally look, but with the difference that sole won't wear down the way crepe does when on it's own.

that's really ugly

I'll need to check but the ones I'm after only Holger seems to have. It's these but in black horse oil http://hotoveli.com/collections/a-diciannoveventitre/products/033n-oxford-in-grey

Leopard creepers circa '88

Cool Anthony Keidis vibe you've got going on there

Length on these jeans work? Length is 30.5" and I'm prob a 31" inseam. Leg opening is 8.25" so a bit too big to stack anyways..

^^ looks fine to me for the wide-ish vintage look. I have some old LVC that shrunk 5 inches that are about that length. Best with sandals but ok with everything.
