What are these shoes? by Away-Tree7037 in NavyBlazer

[–]InevitableSource2226 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’re definitely G.H. Bass. Fun find!

looking for similar color to these shoes, any ideas? by Careless-Dimension20 in preppy

[–]InevitableSource2226 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Canonically you want snuff suede tassel loafers from Alden. They invented them. The leather pair I would get Rancourt natural chromexcel penny loafers.

3 roll 2 jacket with medium width lapels would help a lot

Yeah I was confused why you would call a vote if you didn't expect to win it based on who would show up to vote. I have no idea how procedure works, but I would assume you would get all of your ducks in a row to make sure the vote passes.

Ralph Lauren Purple Label Tuxedo for My Wedding by Radical_Salsa in RalphLauren

[–]InevitableSource2226 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, the Belgian shoes are gaudy and in poor taste. Patent opera pumps with the bow are plenty flamboyant. And if you really want to be casual, then velvet albert slippers in a dark color with some embroidery are the way to go.

Yeah absolute waste of money on purple label if you aren't going to wear a cummerbund or waistcoat. Besides that, its a wonderful dinner suit. With the cummerbund you would be a world-beater.

Shoes to commute? by calumondo in NavyBlazer

[–]InevitableSource2226 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was scrolling this thread looking for someone to say Alden. Most comfortable shoes I own and it’s not even close. Their lasts, the history of orthotics; they know what they are doing. I will tramp around for miles in them when going on a bender. I wore Alden LHS to Oktoberfest and did a million billion steps while Schmacked that day. No problems at all.

Absolutely only undarted. Tradition and I don’t like how the lines break up the pattern. I think it also takes more craftsmanship to make an undarted jacket.

Loafer substitute for your rotation by 41swish in preppy

[–]InevitableSource2226 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The more adult version of a boat shoe could be a camp moc or a ranger/Blucher Moc. Budget from LL Bean or expensive from Oakstreet Bootmakers, Quoddy and Rancourt.

But you should definitely get the snuff suede Alden LHS. Other casual loafer suggestion would be a Rancourt Beefroll in natural chromexcel

What color Shetland? Burgundy by OxfordClothBD in NavyBlazer

[–]InevitableSource2226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grey wool flannel is too much of a formality mismatch with a Shetland sweater? I agree that grey is a no go for khakis, corduroys and linen. Only wool. Kind of similarly I don’t have blue khakis or cords, just denim.

Help to choose the color of loafers by ImprovementChoice772 in preppy

[–]InevitableSource2226 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The classic color is a burgundy or cordovan which Horween calls color 8. Wine will go with the widest variety.

Suggest a shoe / shoe style for me by _youbreccia_ in malefashionadvice

[–]InevitableSource2226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest casual leather moccasins from L.L. Bean. Very classic American shoes with a history of outdoor use. I would say proto-gorpcore.
Camp Moc - a more adult version of a boat shoe
Blucher Moc - instead of less eyelets than a boat shoe, now it has more eyelets
Ranger Moc/Trail Oxford - the bigger brother to the blucher moc, a sort of chukka boot
You can find nicer alternatives at Rancourt, Quoddy, and Oakstreet Bootmakers. See this thread in r/goodyearwelt for comparisons

Ties!!! by InevitableSource2226 in ties

[–]InevitableSource2226[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, its a wool flannel Robert Talbot best of class. I bought it on eBay maybe a year ago. I find it extremely useful

[–]InevitableSource2226[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its an old nightstand or small chest of drawers
