Saint Crispin’s – 106 Three Eyelet Blucher (LSW & LSBH)

The #106 has been the most awed at shoe in our opening Saint Crispin’s lineup.  The beauty of the chiseled last on the three eyelet blucher design and the hand finished patina of the leather is simply amazing to look at.

This is an extremely versatile shoe, easily matched with jeans up to a nicely tailored suit.

$1700.00 (lasted, hollowed shoe trees included)

Alden Shoes – Plaza Cap Toe Boot in Black Calf (LSW)

Continuing the craze with Alden’s soft lady calf, we present the Plaza cap toe boot in black.  A natural edgetrim on a double waterlock leather sole really makes the boot “pop.”  Switching out the black laces with brown may be a great look as well.

Alden’s lady calf is extremely soft and comfortable.  It has a broken in feel right from the start.

SOLD OUT!

今夜のDinner!

When you come to Hawaii, you don’t have to go to a good restaurant every single night! There are lots of places you can enjoy good, inexpensive food!

Here is my dinner tonight from Pioneer Saloon (one of Takuya’s favorite places too).  Garlic Ahi!

Time For Restoration

I’ve been wearing these cigar U-Tips twice a week for about 3 years now.  I’ll be sending them in for restoration soon. I like the change in color they’ve gone through so I will make sure to tell Alden not to polish the uppers when they do the restoration.

Saint Crispin’s – 104 Austerity Brogue (LSW & LSBH)

The austerity brogue has long been a favorite of ours here at LSW.  The EG Beaulieu started the craze and it continues with Saint Crispin’s #104 in burgundy.

A couple pair already left us yesterday, one to our friend GW in Australia who will no doubt influence many others to follow suit.

My First SCs

I’ve been wanting a pair for about 5 years now and finally got one, the 105 wingtip in “blackish brown” crust leather on the chiseled last. They really are amazingly beautiful in person.

The fit is very nice as well.  I take a 9F Edward Green 202 and 606, 9E Barrie last, 8.5EE John Lobb 7000 last.  I ordered 8.5G and they fit perfectly.  The support throughout the waist and heel is sublime.  Somehow, it really does feel like a hand made shoe.

Saint Crispin’s – 215 Cap Toe (LSW & LSBH)

Leading off on our opening day lineup from Saint Crispin’s is the 215 cap toe oxford on the chiseled last in black.  We opted for the chiseled last on a style of shoe primarily seen on a round toe last.

Every man need a black cap toe oxford in their wardrobe and this would be an amazing one to own.
