Thank you sir.

Ralph Lauren is selling these for about 30% off so I figured I would order a pair.

I'll weigh in I have about 10 or more pair of Churchs. A few Aussie boots and a few Bally and Magli's thrown in. Sorry the photo quality is not great on my old iphone, the brogues are good for a laugh and the mustard colour ones are custom made Hippo skin Church's. No I did not order them new they are vintage and very cool.

The other brown brogues are Floris Van Bommel from the Netherlands a small bootmaker dating back over 200 years every bit as lovely as Church's and others.

Thanks for sharing.

It looks like a very nice collection of shoes.

It's too bad the photo isn't just a bit better.

Excellent collection.

Don't you use trees, though???

No one with Shell Cordovan shoes or boots? Or is that never used in British shoes?

Shell is used in British shoes. I have a couple of Crockett and Jones in shell.

The Marlow Wingtip and the Lindrick.

Actually, I will be picking up a pair of those Daltons in shell when the A&E Trunk Show sale hits in October.

Although these aren't British I've been considering these.

[dddrees]

Also contemplating a pair of these.

Decision was pretty simple, the EGs won out.


Let the MTO wait begin.


Jan or Feb of next year.

Blue Suede Shoes


English made (Peal & Co) Brooks Brothers.


I've been looking and comparing, finally decided I liked these best.

[JasoninDenver]

Not to venture from the British made focus, but blue suede shoes are right up my alley...

Here are my AE Spiaggia's which I happen to be wearing today.

Extremely comfortable and also on sale right now.

Looking good.

Congrats

Those where one of the pairs I was considering when I purchased my pair.


Cheers,

Alfred Sargent Moore in Cherry on the 724 Last

Even better than usual as A Fine Pair of Shoes currently has these on sale.

Reg £393.00 Sale £300.00 (Ex.VAT: £250.00)

By the way these pictures from their website really don't do the shoe much justice, they look alot better than depicted here.

I have them in three colors. My favorite. Best fit I have ever had. Love them, just wish they had a similar version as a slip-on.

I'm not that familiar with what loafers Alfred Sargent would or wouldn't have to be honest. However I would imagine they would be on a different Last if they did as most shoemakers use a different Last for loafers. My one problem with Alfred Sargent is that they don't have a very large catalogue of shoes however.

Sorry for belated response.

I have an Italian loafer that looks very close. Fit is fine however my AS are perfect. As far as I know that don't make a similar loafer. Just wish they would. Initially I bought a pair and couldn't believe the fit. If they were bespoke they couldn't be better. I followed up with two other colors and the fit and finish we're perfect. I need to order the Chestnut Moore one of these days...

I was fortunate enough to pick up a pair of Cherry Moores while on sale from A Fine Pair of Shoes, great looking shoe.

[dddrees]

I've been on a bit of a Alfred Sargent kick lately. However here is a pair of boots that I knew I wanted when I first saw them over 6 months ago. The fact that they used Cognac Shell and a Pebble Shaft didn't hurt either. So when I had the chance to get a pair of these Alfred Sargent Millers I jumped at the chance.

Alfred Sargent.

Two pairs of Boots, one pair of shoes, but still only one Last.

My latest, C&J - Highbury - the ones Daniel Craig wears in Skyfall (I didn't know this until after I bought them).

They are so comfortable to walk in I will probably get another two pairs.

Very sharp, I also like how these come with the Dainite sole.

Very nice! and they seem to be quite reasonably priced.
