Alden Shoe – Barrie NST (LSW)

Three skilled women at the Alden factory are responsible for all of the handsewn NSTs and LHSs that go through the factory floor. It obviously takes more time for these handsewn shoes to be made but the wait is definitely worth it for this special detail.

This color #8 burgundy NST is a model we regularly stock on the Aberdeen last, but rarely see on the Barrie. Grab a pair while they’re available in stock.

Also pictured is the exact same pair, 12 years old, with very minimal polishing. The patina is amazing and the wear on the shell is equally so. This pair is a testament to the value in a pair of Alden shoes made with Horween shell cordovan.

SOLD OUT!

JM Weston – Alligator 180 Loafer (LSW)

We’re not going to lie, this isn’t a shoe for everyone. But for those who can pull it off, it’s an amazing look, right out of the pages of 1960’s GQ.

JM Weston’s 180 penny loafer is one of the top three iconic men’s penny loafers in our opinion. It is now available in two shades of alligator, camel and burgundy.

($4495.00, shoe trees included)

Edoya “Kawa Dama” Restock (LSW)

We’ve just received another shipment of Edoya horsehair (uma) and bronze suede brushes.

In this day of mass production and automation, when a company perseveres in tradition and quality, it truly is a breath of fresh air.

Founded in 1718 during Japan’s Edo Period, Edoya started as a hand made paint brush manufacturer in Nihonbashi, Tokyo. Almost 300 years later, Edoya continues to methodically produce 100% hand made brushes to a civilization dependent on efficiency and mass production.

There are no machines in their workshop, only weathered hands with years of experience. Each brush is hand planted and hand cut with precision, calculating the length and amount of bristles, the same way it was done decades ago. It is this attention to detail and quality that maintains value, even when cheap alternatives are abundant.

John Lobb – JL2012 Restock (LSW)

It’s 2013 but that doesn’t mean 2012 is out of style. We’ve just received another restock of the John Lobb St. Crepin 2012 chukka boots, one of the most elegant chukkas we’ve ever seen.

The minimalistic design is timeless and elegant. This boot will work very well with the most handsome suit all the way down to a pair of slim jeans.

Available in black or dark brown misty calf.

(7000 last, $1740.00, shoe trees included)
