2011 is going to be bespoke....shoe porn!

Folks,

i´ll likely will have my first bespoke pair of shoes, made by Maftei, by mid-july this year...and elements of these pairs will serve as inspiration...thank Justin of The Shoe Snob for those lovely pics!

My last post (Mr. Anonymus´ insights on my blog) did stir quite some reaction...
@Justin: hmmm...i don´t think any of the sf´ers would have spent so much time just to shitbomb me here, they would have used the forum more likely, i guess. Funny though that his insights didn´t proove him to be the Reals Sartorialist: if he were he should have noticed that my pants were rolled up, not cuffed. But really: it was nevertheless entertaining and so i´m fine with his comment :)
@Yankee-Whiskey-Papa: totally consenting to what you said. I must feel honoured that he spent so much time on compelling this rather funny comment. I´m doing that just for my own pleasure and as long as there are people who like it (well, honestly, even if not) i´ll continue. Thx for your support!
@DY: cheers, buddy! I would have preffered grey wool pants, but white came off pretty well, too...
@Estlincs: cheers, man...yes, but unfortunately none of what helps you right away...it has been a present given by my sister, but i´ll ask her where she got it. Make sure you´ll come back and get the answer!

Got reblogged...and will re-blog, too :)

Folks,

i am reading a lot of tumblr blogs and take a lot of inspiration from them...i was quite surprised to find my stuff reblogged on another blog...seems like i am gaining impact on the scene :)

Anyways, we´ve got three new members to the family: please give out a hearty "hello" to Puetz78, Mosze and Masood Khan. Glad you made your way here and feel free to comment on everything of interest to you.

These two lovely outfits come from Pure Evil (left) and Today´s tie (right). Both authors really know their game and i can only recommend to have a look at their tumblrs.

Comments shall not be left unanswered:
@David: thank you for your kind words...the jacket is made by Boss, a german men´s wear label (pretty sure you know it). Skiing was fun, but the weather wasn´t that good...
@Mxolisi: yeah, there´s something true about that. I think i´ll keep it that way...

Reblogged for awesomeness...thx Tumblr!

Folks,

for many, tumblr is just another software to create and administer blogs, for me it provides as much inspiration as possible...prepare yourself for some eye candy!

Starting of with some serious shoe porn...

Great stuff on the net...tumblr, that is!

So, been receiving a lot of attention lately...here are the answers:

@Mike: cheers, bro. You´re right, it´s sometimes necessary to be bold.
@Schlabberbacke: ... ;)
@Stuart: cheers, Stuart. You´re words are far too kind...the yellow windowpane jacket is really one of my most loved items, although it sometimes is a tough one to wear...and hell yeah, i love Suit Supply. Hope you turn back into soon!!
@Elaine: all right, so i stick to that...and yes, it is...will have it cut shortly :)

Great stuff on the internetz, again and again

Dear Followers,

nothing to blog from myself, i´ll rather host eye candy, gathered around from the web....

The following looks do all come from the Style Forum, a gathering of well-dressed men:

And, as always, the answers:
@Kansuke: sure you may...bought it over at ebay.co.uk for a mere 40 pounds...this one is made by Gant, and fits great, while keeping me warm.
@Marco: thx bro, this one didn´t receive my girlfriend´s love, but you can´t make her happy every time, can you? :)
@theNyanzi Report: thank you very much, i´m always enjoying reading your posts. Hope you check back soon...
@Prutha: ahh, the project...see, i´m no good photographer, so i stopped after posting the first pic...and it was my idea, but hosting some christmas pics is not very genuine at the moment :)
@Mike: sure you could, but guess what...it´s easier to wear such stuff with people thinking of you as the "crazy bow tie guy with a love of colourful splashy dresses" :)
@Boaz: thank you for your kind words, Boaz. Your mission just sounds like mine :). It´s time to get the male inhabitants of this planet to dress better, which does not necessarily mean ties and jackets, but dressing thoughful...

Great stuff via Tumblr - love it!

Folks,

i just wanted to send out a quick "Thank you" to all of you guys for your participation with my blog. It is always flattering how insightful your comments are, let alone your praise for most of my outfits. Every once in a while, someone dares to criticize me: i expect you to share your thougths here, so i am perfectly fine with you not liking something particular and / or suggesting alternatives. That´s what makes blogging so special: starting from common ground but choosing different ways to get to the top. 

So thank you so much for your patience and the time you spent here. I am additionally happy to welcome a new member to the Crowd: Vintage Whistles, a great vintage men´s wear seller (and blogger)  i have been checking out regularly in the past. If you like the english gentleman attire, you have to go check out the stuff!!

The comments:

@David: thx a lot, David. Suit has been made by Suit Supply, the shoes are from french company Bexley. 

@Scott: funny thing, the tie is sold at H&M, i only paid 5 € :). And thx for the praise!

@Rachel: would have definitely been an alternative joice, Rachel! But i preffered to pop another colour, so i went with red...and the answer to your sleeve button question is: simply out of taste, no real explanation here :)

@Vintage Whistles: thank you, good Sir! I really like the stuff you´re selling, if it only were in my size ;)

@Tweed Jacket: thanx a lot!!

@Mxolisi: thank you so much, Mxolisi. Really, really appreciate it. In my opinion, brown silk knots would have kind of interfered with the interplay of the red-white-blue theme here...but would have gone perfect with the shoes...aahhh....not sure, give me time to think about that :)

@The Shoe Snob: cheers man, red pants are always an eye catcher, you´re totally right.

I am totally digging the following stuff: the Internetz is such a great place for inspiration...
