This goes into belt backs. SJC changed their design after reading this and thanked me. I have a few friends that have their beltbacks and might post a few shots with...
Stripes meet stripes (best case scenario).
I’ve argued with a lot of tailors. Thinking it through when it comes to this subject, I’m right. Don’t let them tell you otherwise because what I’m about to expound is common sense. See my previous blog, You should know better and so should your...
They did change the design a little since the production sample I made up for japan. The Whippet logo on the inside is gone, and the leather I originally used was a roan leather russet brown. Also, they are using a poly ribbon now instead of the cotton rayon original I had on the samples. It's...

A few years back I wrote an article about shoes...
We have lost a hatter.
There isn’t a Wiki page for certain people. He had passion; fortitude far beyond what I could ever muster. When I met him he was wearing a dress shirt with the sleeves cut off, there wasn’t a time I saw him where he didn’t look ready for action. He told me, that in...
Not about Alden, Allen Edmonds… Johnston and Murphy
There are a few grand companies still left in the US that classic American shoe.
