Christmas cordovan tassel loafers from @saintcrispins, this time in black.

Another Sunday, another shine.

Autumn, on the beach.

Well worn Mod. 205 from @saintcrispins before a polish a few weeks back.

Another new autumn model from @saintcrispins for my stable, this time a split-toe derby in vintage hot stuffed leather with hand-stitched apron, copper eyelets, storm welting and a slick subway grate beating YoYo rubber sole.

Part of my new autumn batch from @saintcrispins, albeit slightly unorthodox.

This new lil’ adelaide of mine from @saintcrispins has generated quite the interest. For the many of you who inquired, it is Mod. 574SP in SCO 058 (limited availability).

New additions to the autumn rotation from @saintcrispins, all in vintage or otherwise limited availability upper materials, including a different approach to the spectator.

Another shot from my visit to saintcrispins earlier this year - staining the welt and sole stitching.

A well-worn but freshly refinished pair of jodhpurs awaiting shipment at the @saintcrispinsworkshop.

Shavings fallen from the carpenter’s working table while crafting hollowed shoe trees.

Hand stitching viola uppers in the workshop.

Hand welting in the workshop.

Before and after…redux.

Sometimes all you need is a good brush.

Post-treatment.

Post-snow clearing damage, pre-treatment.

Cashmere, suede, and sand on a windy afternoon.

Now back to shoes…if it’s Sunday, I’m polishing — this time just short of glaçage.

On the road again, with yesterday’s @saintcrispins Mod. 581 in suede.
