Now there are some beauties, right there. Can we see some more photos?

Lobb St James is a great place to visit even if you are not buying.

The best thing about Jodhpurs is that they look really good with jeans.

^Ed, are those Wesco roughout Engineer's? Man, those'll hold up well here in dusty-ass Afghanistan. F*ck this place!!! I can barely update my blog with boots that look better with age out in this hell hole.

[marineabilly]

Veddy Nice, Ed!! My plan is to pickup a pair of these, and perhaps the road champs when I get back - man, that'll be a goot 2.5 G's. Ed, you and I could open up one of the best boots shops ever.

Hey amlai - St. James's

You have a pair of bespoke from Lobb St. James's and you haven't worn them yet?!?!

How in the heck have you managed that? When I got my only bespoke pair of shoes, I took a few quick shots of them and then immediately put them on because I was curious as to how they'd fit.

I've always wondered if Lobb St. James's was really worth it. Even in the spectrum of bespoke, I think they're towards the upper end of the price range, right?

^ Yes, they're nuts, but you only go around once. Who made yours?

[Happy Hooligan]

lovin' the shoes and boots on the last few pages...

Love those wesco's and longwings!

JP Myhre, a Norwegian shoemaker. http://www.bespoke-shoes.com/

If you look at his "Collection" I have a pair of his CC108 Closed Patched Derby. As my first bespoke, I decided to get one just like one he had already made before. Getting close to ordering another pair. I can't decide what I want most though. (Possibles are wingtip blucher, a boot, or maybe just a plain oxford.) Just too many choices with bespoke.

Very nice, I've seen his website before but was unable to find your derbys. I guess choice depends on your lifestyle. I wear jeans pretty much every day and live in sunny FL so boots, sandals and bare feet are my norm. But push comes to shove, I like boots!

edit - look at the Adelaide style oxford if you're interested in a dress shoe. I don't think there's a better looking shoe.

Here's a picture from a while ago:

I try to wear boots whenever I can and can get away with wearing denim to the office most days, but there are enough times I need to look professional and wear a real pair of trousers or a suit, etc. that I'm thinking I should keep my bespoke shoes to dress shoes.

Farhad- excellent photography... why does it not surprise me you're a photographer! LOL.

I like your shoes, especially the toe. Have a look at the Cleverley site, new styles first pair of shoes.

Marineabilly, be safe out there dude. I'll keep an eye on you from the sky.

[Farhad]

Ed- you know your $hit

amlai- thanks for the kind words

PeterParker, Mike147 they're the JCrew Alden Long wings I bought them while I was here

Marineabilly, be safe out there dude. I'll keep an eye on you from the sky.

Seconded.

"Coca-fine" or something... weird-ass boat shoes that I just put on to take this photo

[morse9443]

Just ordered these Russell Mocs (all suede version). Been hearing they're crazy backed up with orders. If they come by spring, I'll be happy.

on second thought, should I go with the all suede, or the two tone pictured here? Opinions?

[riff]

^ Morse - those look like 1-tone all suede to me, or is my monitor screwy? Regardless - luscious! You'll love 'em!

[morse9443]

Glad you like those Riff, I've been brewing on them for a while.

The lower portion is a smooth leather and the upper is a roughout/suede. Very close in color, but different leathers. Figure the difference will grow more noticeable as they age.

Here's a pair that shows the two tones more

My Alden Roy boots, after a few months of wearing 2-3x/week.

[fre-co]

Morse those all suede Russells are perfect, that is exactly what I would get and I do hope to get some one day.

Those Roys are looking great, mine have had some good wear and are actually letting water in! I think it is soaking through the leather which has never happened on any of my other boots. I guess it is time for a greasing.

pennyoka, fre$co, thanks for the quick reply and help, repped.
