Nice pants.

Thanks. They are from Panta. Ed Morel launched the brand on SF about 10-12 years ago. After he took his website down I lost track of him and the brand. I assume it's no longer in business.

Anyone tried to glue a topy or similar to the waterlock/flex welt soles?

I wonder if the high oil content of these oil soaked soles will interfere with the adhesion -- I have in mind to have a cobbler glue on some Vibram Eton (or maybe something more casual) soles on a new pair of Aldens I was gifted.

Many times. Never had a problem.

Yeah my pops went from an 8.5EEEE to a 9EE/EEE, it worked out though as he changed to sneakers full time anyways in his retirement. Lots of weightlifting can do that to ya too, buddy who's in his 20s went from a 9.5C to a 10B. Arch collapse really changes the way boots fit. Sorry you've gotta shuffle the collection, I'm weary of the day when I've got to do the same.

Yep, when I weightlifted heavily my shoe went form a 7.5 to a 10. Now it's about a 8.5E since I lift less. Pretty crazy.

Maiden voyage for this Wingtip Wednesday! Color 8 shortwings from Brogue on Plaza.

Looking good! I sold a pair of those that just didn't work on my feet - sure wish they had!

Went with an all Alden week after returning from Covid. Today, my favorite color shell. I'm not sure they're my favorite boots b/c commando causes more fatigue in my back and my knee that no longer has a meniscus. But, like my whiskey shell cap toes that I wore on Wednesday, one day these will have a different sole and then they will be my favorites.

For those wondering, the jeans are Naked and Famous left hand twill on their maiden voyage.

I don't wear these often as I am not to sure what to wear them with. Too casual for trousers, I don't wear khakis, but I've decided I think I like them with denim, thoughts?

Good with denim, maybe try some Nihon Menpu in green?

A quick impulse pick-up. A fun addition to my fledgling LHS collection. Lol!

Happy Labor Day all!

Savvy’s back from paternity leave! Got a nice promotion as well.

First day back in the office last week and the AE Parks in shell were Johnny on the spot.

Lots of news to share, some good and some bad, unfortunately. Will save that for another day.

Hope all is well with all of you.


Had to blast post my back to office shots.

The third shoes are the Savvy Harvard Wing special… missing my friend and co-creator/reason they’re a reality… Jim Pietryka @jpm1. When I pulled them out I just knew it would be a good day.
