    The P2 is a unique last, and not as artistic as many other lasts, but it is mainly about the ride for me. Handmade delivers the ultimate ride, and the P2 delivers the best fit of all.

    My new Vass shoes on the P2 last, my best fitting shoes. Few shoe companies make a shoe as good as Vass. Why? Because it is the way they make their shoes that makes all the difference, ie the shoe construction. A machine stitched sole v's a hand stitched sole make a big difference in how a...

    Shawl Collar Cardigans

    I am a big fan of shawl cardigans, but only the fattest cardigans will do, and l prefer mine in cashmere. Shawl cardigans are expensive for the good ones, but they are worth it. I like to wear mine with cashmere turtlenecks. Some of mine: Ballantyne 6 ply cashmere shawl (excellent and very...

    The way a Vass shoe is built makes all the difference, and the hand welting and hand stitched soles makes all the difference and the feel completely different from goodyear welted. A machine stitch is completely different to a hand sewn stitch when soles are concerned, and when a plastic feather...

    I completely agree with you Eric. These shoes do have a special beauty, and being less structured in the uppers they do have a great level of comfort. Wonderful summer elegance. Many Vass run true to size. Eg, Budapest last, 3636 last, P2 last. But then things can get tricky because it also...

    I have never seen a pair of Lloyd made like those ones. Normally Lloyd are poor quality. Please tell us more about them. Got a summer pair shoes. Vass are some of my favourite shoes, they provide a proper footwear experience that few shoes do. They are not as beautiful as the other shoes, but...

    Thanks Eric. I never knew how good they were until l first tried them on. They have a style unequalled by any loafers l know of. It is the combination of everything that makes it a perfect shoe. I feel lucky to own it.

    Simply amazing! Got these beauties this week. My Big Johnny Lobb. Still need some break in time to soften up. I never liked the pictures of them online, but when l saw them in real life l was enamoured with their beauty and ability to transform my foot into something quite elegant.

    Show Us Your OVERCOATS

    I live in Australia so l don't need too many overcoats. As of today l now own three, and l consider that a lot. My first decent overcoat was a very thick and heavy Baron Lee. It is navy with green and red in it, and it is nice. (might post pic another day). My other coat is a vintage...

    Now you are starting to change my mind. I used to have a teacher who had trained for the priesthood, and he was really stern and strict. One of his most memorable things was his shoos, they were some of the cleanest, most polished and beautiful shoes I had ever seen. Even when it rained...

    Hi LuvMyMan, these are not just regular banana colour shoes, no way. The colour of these is not the true colour. The shoes l recently bought are the spectular `lattanzi tans' that are rare as hen's teeth. I have searched 16 years for the special "Lattanzi tans" and i've never seen shoes with...

    The perfect shine 1). Use boot black `rich moisture' twice over shoes to moisturize and smooth surface. 2). Use boot black `two face plus lotion' twice over shoes to clean and smooth surface. after this you will get a softness and feel of leather like you have never experienced before. 3)...

    Too amazing for words! I raise you these. The highest quality rtw l have ever owned. The highly elusive Silvano Lattanzi. I feel like a really lucky guy owning these. Highly prized shoes and something l have been after for 16 years.

    Snagged another pair recently of the BIG John Lobb. I have only polished them for 4 hours with many hours to go over the next few weeks, but so far so good. I am always chasing the perfect shine. I haven't reached it yet, but l think l will soon. I've ordered special high shine `boot black'...

    Wow is the word. The colours and lasts and combination of the designs make for an eye popping combination. Makes a nice change from the usual browns and black. Fun shoes.
