John Lobb – Garnier II (LSW & LSBH)

John Lobb’s Garnier II is an example of the phrase “simple is best.” Clean lines, the perfect shape of the 7000 last, and the quality and finishing of the prestige line make this shoe a classic dress shoe for the ages.

We currently have them available in black calf or plum museum calf. This might be your last chance to get a John Lobb shoe in museum calf as museum calf has been discontinued by John Lobb.

Edward Green – A Pretty Cool Evening Shoe (LSW)

An evening shoe does not always have to be a pump with a bow tie on it.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Our newest Edward Green offering is the Ladbroke on the 888 last in black suede. It’s a perfect way to spruce up a classic tuxedo or your favorite pair of jeans.

Edward Green – Cherwell in Taupe Nubuck

Recently, Alden’s unlined tan suede chukka boot, model #1494, has had a major rejuvenation in popularity. Sometimes referred to as a “desert boot,” the unlined chukka is a versatile part of a fashionable man’s wardrobe.

This time around, we’d like to step it up a notch and present Edward Green’s version of the unlined desert boot.

While suede comes from the underside of calf, nubuck is actually from the topside. Considered more refined, durable, and luxurious than suede, nubuck is the perfect choice for this snoody Edward Green version of the classic desert boot.
