I posted these in the other thread, but basically anything as a wholecut, cap toe or wingtip in black. Patent leather is out these days.

Burgundy Shell, Cigar Shell both in Plain Toe Blucher, and a basic oxford are the go to shoes.

Loafers are for wealthy people who don't work. It's more of a casual shoe.

I like these Brioni captoe bluchers because they are basic, classic and not too dressy.

>>14710019
This is considered to be the most universal and smartest shoe today for patricians.

I'm a huge fan of this brand but can't afford them. I did have a pair of Bontoni wholecuts (a gift), sold them for $400 after wearing them for a year because they slipped around, and got a bunch of vintage shoes.

>>14710019
I've always loved the detail here. You could never wear it though. It's too precious.

whats up professor, how's the wife

>>14710105
We're making dinner as I shitpost, grade an mess with kids.

I've been wearing this since it became a bit cooler.

>>14710115
do you have any outfit pictures w the chukkas? I see people buying them but can't think up how they'd work in an outfit

>>14710132
I'm not posting pics of myself, but i wear them with Jeans on Friday and with Navy chinos.

I don't know that much about trad but I get the impression that gucci bit loafers are probably more of a new money flex than anything, and that old money would prefer something more understated where the construction quality and materials alone are what speaks.

Gucci typically has one thing going for it--leather quality. Many of the top designer brands, the historic ones like Gucci, Salvatore Fer., Dior, Louis V. etc, have good tanners that sell exclusively to them. So the quality of craftsmanship counts for little when you get the best hides and use only 1 hide for 2 shoes or less.

Flexing. I'm hearing this more from the younger generation. It doesn't make much sense to me.

In short, it is a new money thing to wear gucci now. Gone are the days of patricia highsmith's ripley.

Boastfulness. In many instances an ostentatious display of wealth for its own sake, but it can be a display of skill or unsporting behaviour.

What about Belgian loafers

>>14710318
I would only wear Yuma style.

>>14710318
Hmm. They look nice. I was thinking about going for tassel loafers but they might be an option.

>>14710318
Those are bad, in the same league as opera and butterfly loafers

>>14710074
Pretty sure GC RTW is made by C&J.

>>14710199
Gucci bit loafers are pretty much the only thing by them that doesn't look like a new money flex since they have history on wall street and there are many more expensive and tacky shoes people can get

I think these are easier to wear

>>14711476
They look like women's shoes
Why are moc toes so fucking atrocious goddamn

>>14710074
This but with a regular captoe is the real most universal patrician shoe.

>>14710019
I'm starting a sales job next month. I'll be stood at a counter for hours on end marketing watches, what sort of shoes will look professional AND will let me work on my feet for the entire working day. My friend recommended my current black oxfords but with a sketchers insole inside

>>14711801
Dress shoes and leather stuff in general are tought the first wears, then they become confortable

>>14710019
I love the gucci loafers in your pic, they go well under a suit or black skinny jeans which is what I wear 90% of the time.

>>14712280
and they are incredibly comfy, just be sure to wear no-show socks with them

>>14710072
the toe box on these is so big

>>14711476
easier yes because they look like shit and the masses won't stare at you for wearing them but cmon man I know you can do better just wear nicer loafers

>>14710019
Thank you for this.

>most patrician shoe
Step aside, poseurs

>>14712325
I agree, but a rounded toe box is incredibly versatile and makes standing for 6 hours, two times a week, delivering lectures, a bit less of a hassle. I've got lots of pointy toed shoes, and like to mix it up a bit with the traditional round toe.

Some of those models are, it depends on the year, season, and last of the shoe. There are definitely some C&J handgrades that equal or surpass G&G and some complaints this has happened. Alfred Sargent and C&J also cooperate.

>>14710019
for real?
bespoke made in italy

shoes and sneakers are not the same thing. That being said the 990v5 is the most patrician sneaker

>>14715391
990vX all fall apart in a matter of months. Go to joe’s and pick up 993s for the classic look and higher quality.
