Re: Caring for shoes - How much care is really necessary?

I agree in regards to AAAC and SF, in a way they are very much like gentlemen's clubs in that these forums attract different kinds of people. People on SF are brand obsessed and d...

My advice is don't wear your shoes in the weather....there's far too much weather around these days, not like the old days, but life goes on!
Rubber boots then! :lol:

Re: Caring for shoes - How much care is really necessary?

"Versatility lies in elegant casualty" If you are under dressed yet still well dressed you can ago anywhere. And I mean anywhere. If you get a call while at the beach wearing an oxford shirt, some swimming trunks and brown loafers from a friend who wants you to come over to his five star hotel for d...

My two favorite lighters are women's models by Dunhill and Dupont. They are smaller, easy to carry and function flawlessly
