连连看，也称比较学，是我从历史学科中学来的方式。当然，各行各业，有个更朴实的名字，Benchmark。 前面已经做过很多，皮革折痕水准连连看，后跟接缝连连看，沿条处理连连看，今天，我们看一个配件，鞋袋。 市面上的皮鞋品牌没有几千，也有大几百，肯定不可能全部攘括，这篇文，就当个抛砖引玉吧。 这种比较学的利益是什么呢？非常简单，单一看一个鞋袋的时候，你不会有太强烈的感觉，哪个好哪个坏，但是放在一起，立刻就明显了。同时，好的质感和体验，未必需要更高的成本，这是不是就成为优势了呢？ 话不多说，一起看看。 Post Views: 1,164
拾艺是来自武汉的全定制店铺，在周老气的强势带动下，在社交媒体上获得了相当大的关注度，这不，我也去尝鲜。 这块面料是在吕晓龙那里拿的，吕晓龙那边有不少性价比很高的尾料。 关于定制流程，就和我与每个店家的沟通完全一样，做你家的招牌风格，不用问太多我的意见。 我认为对一个衣服最好的理解和体验，就是多穿，不管是主观，还是客观的判断，都是最有价值的。 Post Views: 715

Perhaps southerners and northerners will have diametrically opposed answers to this question. For northerners, who wears Loafers in winter must be a warrior. But for southerners, isn’t Loafer still a pair of dress shoes? As long as I don’t wear it barefoot, is there an essential difference between wearing Loafers in winter and wearing Oxford?
这个是有点炒冷饭了，因为我很早的文章，就讨论过这一点，但是最近又遇到了两个案例，让我觉得值得向大家强调。 Post Views: 1,202

这里说的名字，不是便士乐福，三接头牛津，布洛克德比这样的款式分类，而是每个鞋款的名称，比如我说John Lobb Lopez，大家马上能反映出，这是一双圆头小憨的便士乐福。 Post Views: 1,189
这是定制鞋匠陈华问我的问题。 为什么会有此一问呢？因为在当前尖长当道的年代（代表Berluti，Gaziano & Girling），圆头被许多人所不齿，但陈华就是一个偏爱大圆头的定制鞋匠。 可是这个问题，我却没有办法给他一个客观的答案，因为对于圆度的审美，太主观了。 Post Views: 703
说起反绒皮中的王者，比较资深的玩家，一定说得出来Janus这个名称，即使没那么深度的玩家，也说得出C.F.Stead这家英国的皮革厂。 Post Views: 1,123
