Looking for camel colored low ankle suede boots...

[djrajio]

Well I've been on the lookout to develop this look but for a man. I pretty much know what I'll get to re-create the tops and pants but am stumped on the boots. I want suede boots that are light camel colored...ok superfuture don't let me down!

Would chelsea boots suffice?

RM Williams makes a few different models in a camel/light brown color, but I don't think they have a suede version in that color:

Charles Tyrwhitt also makes a sick pair of jodphurs in that color, but again, they aren't suede:

Also check out Shipton shoes for shits and giggles; they have some good stuff at decent prices:

Margiela released what you want this or last season, although they might be too "gritty" for what you're going for. Are you looking for something slick or more "thrashy" or heavy duty?

Lobb suede are usually less $$$ than others models on ebay because the cubicle slaves can't wear 'em

based on that description I think I've been looking for something similar too.

djrajio, you probably dont have a pic of what you mean but if you can something close to it (different color etc) go ahead and post it!

Speaking of the Shipton site Rajio; just stumbled across these:

On sale for $175.....close enough to what you are looking for?

England, what's your take on shipton quality and design (lasts) -wise?

[shoreman1782]

IIRC, Shipton and Heneage shoes are all contracted out--Alfred Sargent, maybe Loake, and other British makers. Might want to search AskAndy and Styleforum. I dunno about sale shoes, but their regular lines are (again, IIRC) you-get-what-you-pay-for, so the price levels correspond with different shoemakers with different construction standards/leather grades.

[englandmj7]

^^ What he said.....

They have used C&J as well.

[shoreman1782]

Sorry England, didn't mean to step on your answer.

[englandmj7]

^^ Heh he. No worries. Saved me some time!

yeah, had my eye on those jodphurs for ages, they would look sweet after 5 years of wear.

I also like these, but they're not suede, still damn nice.

Wow. These actually look great! I didnt' think about this look but it looks very good. Thanks england.

[djrajio]

I hate to be a wet blanket, but I really doubt if Shipton's suede jophurs are made by C&J. Most like Alfred Sargent.

Rajio, if you are willing to spend the money, head down to one of the bespoke stores in Tokyo.

They have a John Lobb shop now in Tokyo, but I doubt I'll do bespoke for a such a trendy boot. Probably went I want some conservative black oxfords....and when I turn 30+. Haha.

Damn. These look good too. And the price is reasonable. I think I could do this...Thanks.

I think England's pic are the right look that I'm looking for. I just tired of black/black/black. Need some variation in my wardrobe...

I've been meaning to buy those CT jodhpurs for a while now. The 50% off sale just makes them even harder to resist.

Yeah, I didn't mean that the jodhpurs are C&J, but the monkstraps most likely are, as well as some of the other models. I still think for $200 the jodphurs are still a pretty damn good deal.

Glad to be of assistance Rajio. Maybe next time I am in Tokyo you can get some Yamamba girls to return the favor? ha hah.
