It’s definitely a film that gets better since the beginning, trust me.
So far, three readers have told me that the shoes co-branded by Thom Wills and Keitaro Takano are very comfortable to wear. I don’t think the brand is well known (I mean Takano Keitaro in China) or sells much, so how come three people have this same statement?
Anyway, I’ll take a pair.

Loafers were deemed too casual by me and now they are my workhorse in almost every season, man is really capricious. From common to rare in the market, the order is: Penny Loafer, Tassel Loafer, Butterfly Loafer, Kiltie Loafer and Court Slipper. Frankly, I suspect even many shoe enthusiasts know more than the first two, and the last one is even rarer today as it is too elegant to don on the street. J.FitzPatrick disagrees. Bothell is its fight back to make court loafer great again.

I think I’m a top black three-joint Oxford player, because it used to be my favourite style. Today, it’s still, but it’s unlikely to become my favourite style, because it makes me suit every day, tie, and be serious. I will feel a little out of place with the surroundings. Although, that’s why I’m into classic men’s clothing. I want to be different from the people around me. I want to choose.
But after I had so many black three-joint Oxford, there was a style that has not entered my shoe cabinet, which is City II from John Lobb. What’s the difference between the first generation and the second generation of City? I don’t have any idea yet. I hope someone can give me some advice.
Of course, today I see that John Lobb has long lost his passion and surging. The worship of the brand has disintegrated day by day, but the eyes that return to the essence, once again make me haunted and eager to have, I can indeed see different lustre.

This is a pair of NOS, New Old Stock, although New, but staying in the inventory for a while.
After buying, I wish I could slap myself in the face with shoes that I couldn’t possibly wear.
Marketing can be very vicious sometimes, a few points touch you and make you spend money that shouldn’t be spent.
Let’s see what I did.

Lopez is arguably one of the most famous loafers, and it was selected from John Lobb’s bespoke shoes that became the earliest style of ready-to-wear shoes.
The fame of Lopez is of course inseparable from the signature of John Lobb, but it is indeed the final choice of many gourmets. Let’s take a look.

This is the style specified by ENP, I believe in his vision, of course, more importantly, believe in his collocation.
Let’s take a look at the taste of this double collaboration.

The shoe was developed by Swedish bloggers Kostas and Carlos Santos, and the latter took it to the 2021 China Trunk Show.
After I looked at the shoes, I could only say that the customer group of Kostas was not at all the same as mine.

When we talk about the color of dress shoes, black comes first. The second place, I think it should be dark brown, and the third place, it is burgundy. Red sounds contradictory, won’t it be too eye-catching? But deep wine shadow like No. 8 color of Horween shell cordovan is very versatile, on loafers, I am afraid that the status is even above dark brown. Because we wear loafers in summer, the color of the clothes will not be too dark or too formal, and black is a little strange. The formality of burgundy is just right, and it is not too eye-catching.
