Good Day Gents,

Richardcharles and I met at the Four Seasons on Friday. We spent about an hour with George Glasgow. Then we had a drink at the hotel.

I remain impressed by the work the guys at Cleaverly do. There is something honest, refined, and pure about the shoes, yet they lack for the most part a super high finish level - which in my opinion is perfect; they are at once refined and subtle. Mr. Glasgow is a hard core bespoke guy and he has seen quite a bit of that particular world. It is interesting to learn his views on tailors, shirt makers and the other great shoe makers. I would nominate him for consideration of suitability, and if others would agree then for inclusion in our CAP.

It was a pleasure to meet Richard and I hope to meet some more of the Boston gang in the future.

Sincerely,

Joe

Congratulations! We all hope to hear about your plans for future meetings and actions.
