* Anthony Cleverley black captoe oxford (a big burn to get that...gives me a stomach ache thinking about it)
* George Cleverley bespoke black oxford captoe (want the perfect elegant captoe)
* George Cleverley bespoke indigo blue alligator wholecut made by a specific maker (in the process)


Cleverley year for sure. Will get the AC hopefully when l pick up the alligator shoo, and will order the bespoke captoe oxford hopefully in August. That will make three top notch black captoe oxfords in my collection which includes the Vass shell cordovan F last model (it's a ripper and a tough old bird...great for winter and the cooler months, almost indestructable).

Next year will be John Lobb Prestige year....hopefully get the navy blue and white wingtip oxford spec and also a burgundy half brogue oxford - both on the 7000 last. They are the only J.L's l want.

Would have liked to have gotten the Edward Green top draw, but wayyy too pricey. Certainly the nicest goodyear welted shoos made (perfection).

I'm thinking about Rancourts. Actually I'm thinking about Alden shells, but I have to think twice as hard.

When l see a really good shoo l don't see the price, all l see is a dream that can come true. Not just a dream come true, but a dream that can last for the next 40 years. You can't put a price on that.

I think I would like to get Antonio Meccariello to copy one of my 30s spade shoes in black but give it an Italian twist.

Yes.
