Monk strap

P1140750P1150586P1140086P1150587P1150555I love monk strap shoes. On guys, on girls, in leather, in suede. cap toe is kinda 90’s but all the others are pretty great. my personal favorite i did’nt include because it was in an older posting, its a Peil & Co for brooks brothers. The double buckle fella (blk with plaid trouser) and the black paired with nvy chalk stripe trouser, both work for Turnbull & Asser and are wearing Crockett & Jones. The last shoe amazing, when it gets closer to spring i will post the dude on his bike in a suit and tie..did you think he would be in anything else when you saw that shoe?! and a rubber band keeping his ankle tapered. the kids should take notice- you dont have to only wear skinny jazz shoes or womens florsheim to look suave. One can wear a show with a proper hard bottom ! invest in a pair

Mark Mcnairy hits us with hard bottoms, the same guy who brought you Red Brick Soul

 Most of you have already his firs collection with Sanders of England (as old as Church's). Today I was privy to attend the Haberdashery Group trade show and offer you here the exclusive first look at a new collection from my former  colleague Mark McNairy. These  leather, crepe and lug sole shoes and boots have not been seen before. The shoes speak for themselves and need no further explanation. Thats Mark taking a bow in the last photo. Congrats

This gents kit is remarkable huh!? Plaids for days, the tartan lining revealed under his made in England Brooks Brothers camel, bone/horn toggle, duffle just pops off the mustard n light blue  plaid shirt, love how the classic Burberry check scarf is strewn and almost abandoned over his casual posture, there's an heir of regal deliverance in his face as he lightly peruses the flea market, the tortoise shell spectacles add a nice touch of intellectual demure…I aint the least bit mad about the way he accessorizes the periwinkle wide wale cords with the canary yellow banded n butterscotch leather strap belt, that match the gloves, neither…notice as one is stylishly removed unveiling the imperial crested  ivory  engraved gold pinky ring, possibly a family heirloom, or a Masonic symbol, maybe its both and he found it out thrifting…but oh, lemme find out that he actually has a timepiece tucked into his watch pocket and a gold fob too boot- and shoes are always of grave importance as we all know, so is a proper break with or without a cuff, this is honored here with a casual two tone suede buck, another great find, candid as always, you know MISTER MORTs intention may have been to find a rare pair of cuff links but instead, he finds gems like this cat here. A Country Gentlemen at its finest.
