yes or no? / this or that?

[thomas_highstreet]

^^ yeh on the helmuts. found them basicly deadstock from some krauut! yay

^ and RE: the f-troupes, $228 is a bit high, but they arent all that bad.. but in the uk f-troupe is one of the kind of brands that youd see on sale often at highstreet stores (malls) etc. its up to you, theyre actually pretty cool boots, but i would have thought they like 150$ max

Grenson...good shoemakers i assume?

[jet]

Yes excellent.

[thomas_highstreet]

yesss

all the old handmade shoe makers from northampton are truely excellent.

grenson, churchs, cheaney, trickers, edward green. leather is great and construction is perfect. theyre stil made on old benches.

[linkejeuk]

This or this, or neither?

[macuser3of5]

This or this, or neither?

They're both alright (second pair is better overall, I would say). The first pair looks like a sneaker-dress hybrid, in a way.

[thomas_highstreet]

swap the first pair for some repetto and the second for some trickers. spot on.

[Agent Orange]

you might wanna check out ludwig reiter, austrian shoe manufacture, compares to the above mentioned. still a small family owned business. not cheap though

[linkejeuk]

I read about ludwig reiter in the latest issue of monocle, I think he has some really nice things. Stuff like ludwig reiter is too expensive for what I am looking for now. So yeah, the price point is also what I like about the henry begeulin stuff on ebay. I think the quality should be pretty good, and I like the overall look and feel of the brand. I have also thought about getting trickers though.

I'm just looking for something casual, because on most (school)days I just wear jeans and a shirt , or knit sweater. Until now I would just wear chuck taylors or clarks desert boots, or more heavy boots, so I think I am in need of a pair of nice shoes. There is so much though, I hardly know what to get.

[Agent Orange]

actually i was referring to dizzys and highsstreets post, but nevermind if it was ok for you

[beacons_home]

What do you think?

[alterion]

both ugly imho, those elbows are fucked up and you can get so much nicer scarves

[indesertum]

damn. i was looking for this thread.

black or grey.

[freshstrokes]

damn. i was looking for this thread.

black or grey.

where do you buy that?

[linkejeuk]

yes or no for bottega veneta woven chukka boots on sale?

I know they make reat leather items, but how are they for shoes? I like the weave pattern, but don't know if it would work for the long term on a shoe. I can't find a picture for now, but you can see it on their website.

Yes/no on these Raf? I'm a 9.5 or 10 in most sneakers - will a 42 be too small?

i really hate those.

i remember someone saying that vans prison issues look like "shoes for the mentally handicapped" or something like that.

these take it to an entirely new level.

maybe i just need to see some better pictures.

What do you think?

I was trying to think what that reminds me off. It was relly bugging me too... it's cut like a wetsuit. Actually don't mind it but wouldn't buy.

[thomas_highstreet]

yes from retail - no from korea ebay.

[Fauxhemian]

They were on sale at LVR, but sold out before I made up my mind.

[mr fluffernutter]

they were so cheap too

[sarcastic]

[Guest jmatsu]

no. probably the worst german trainers i've seen in a while. i guess it'd depend on what kind of blazers...

[sarcastic]
