I could buy 365 pairs and then boast about the longevity of my year old socks.

not a bad idea actually. not more expensive than buying new pairs on and off and meanwhile 365 pairs to chose from

My favourites are the 'Numbers' from Falke:

e.g. Nr. 6:

It is a pity that some many photos have disappeared over time ...

Gentlemen,

What about your shoes? The seven pairs mentioned by mr Alden is imho an absolute minimum.

Gentlemen,

It is my feeling that this once famous shoemaker went commercial after been taken over by LVMH. Do you share my feeling? Had anyone a recent experience with Berluti?

Cordialemente,

Paul

Gentlemen,

I have been away for a while; being back I miss the shoe projects we did in recent years. I remember G&G spectators and Carmina cordovans. No one interested anymore?

Kind regards,

Paul

PS: and what about a new club tie? The one from Chavet will be gone by now ...

LCA is exactly the same product as Saphir MO - which is the best I am aware of.

Dear Michael.

First of all - on this first day of a New Year, I wish you a healthy 2010.

And yes, you can book me in for the length of a blazer in burgundy.

L.S., Though you'll be probably back again, I would advise Sir Max at Hartenstraat 2, Amsterdam: small shop beautiful shoes (http://www.sirmax.nl also in English) and the P.C. Hooftstraat with many shops including Oger: perhaps a bit vulgar but with very fine clothing nevertheless (http://www.en.oge...

Dear Michael, First of all: thanks for your efforts (again): they really make sure that the LL stands out by far. Of course I am interested (again). I would be much more so, if your tailor could make the coat as well: it is not easy to find an adequate tailor in the rural parts of the Netherlands or...

You will not be disappointed by the moleskins from Cordings: I've wearing them for years and they look like new: areal bargain. BTW: I have them dry-celeaned.

Occasionally Chester Barrie "handmade in England' is for sale at yoox.com.

''or at www.manufactum.com - a beautiful on-line-shop anyway: check socks, shirts, etc.

Any sartorial highlights (vaut le voyage/merit le detour) to be found in this exciting city?
