    Thant's a lot of options. I don't wear trainers either, but must agree, these are amazing.
    For me, Lopez in suede on a rubber is #1 pick. Extremely versatile, all-weather loafers for all the occasions except those formal ones that don't take place often anymore. Coupled with corduroy trousers and a shawl collar cardigan with a knitted tie, those loafers will deliver exceptional style and functional performance throughout the autumn.

  • @MauricXe
    @MauricXe Před 4 lety +3

    My top 3
    The double monk
    The tan museum calf loafer
    The loafer with the super casual sole
    I'm gonna take your advice about shoes. I've been eyeing a pair of loafers and I think they wouldnt add much to my wardrobe in terms of coverage. Screw coverage. I love em.

    • @kirbyallison
      @kirbyallison  Před 4 lety +3

    Hi Kirby. I enjoy watching your video’s while fixing my socks. I woud be in a complete dilemma having to choose just one or two shoes out of so many. Your videos have taught me so much about classic men style. You, mister Schneider from the Gentlemans Gazette and Hugo Jacomet are the best on the internet. Thank you so much and please keep educating us especially in these dark and negative times

  • @StarWarriorMusic
    @StarWarriorMusic Před 4 lety +1

    i have a pair of AE Perth sneakers and they are one of my favorite pairs. They are walnut in color with the woven sides and a captoe. I wear them so much with jeans and on the weekends if i am going to be walking a lot. People look down on sneakers but the right pair can get you a lot of casual wear while still looking great.

  • @pintthereof4598

    While I can understand you not wanting to go down the unpleasant road of why there's two John Lobb's on this channel, but can anyone link me to that story? I know it's something about a family feud - a tale of two brother's perhaps? Great video, Kirby. Lovely to get so much information about such a wide range of styles.

  • @benjamindunnigan2157
    @benjamindunnigan2157 Před 4 lety

    1. Black Captoe because it’s JL and you may as well have the fundamental core shoe from the top brand in the world. 2. The wingtip because of the work you mentioned but also because it does look quite unique to the brand. 3. The tan summer loafer because I love thin-sole summer loafers. 4. The whole cut because they have been very popular for the past two years, however I would never wear a non-patent leather shoe with black tie. 5. The pebble Lopez since I already own the Lopez in dark chocolate suede and love them but hate having to get suede resprayed all the time. Plus black loafers are tough to pull off, but even in the country club context, I’d sooner rock the 1953 horsebit loafer.

    Kirby, have you heard of the Congo Dandies? It's a really interesting story and I think eventually you should fly to Africa and do an episode with them.

  • @JS-shim
    @JS-shim Před 4 lety +1

    Another magnificent video Kirby. I liked the Strand wingtip the most. Lobb, Edward Green and Gaziano and Girling make amazing shoes. I like Gaziano and Girling the most , becaus of their "bespoke"-like look in a ready to wear shoe. Sales must be terrible at the moment for these three great shoe makers.

    What a delicious assortment of John Lobb craftsmanship. Kirby, what is the "dust like" substance that is seen on a brand new shoe coming out of the box?

    • @kirbyallison
      @kirbyallison  Před 4 lety +2

      A really fantastic collection indeed. I think the dust like specks you are referring to were just result of all of the paper from the packaging being piled up around the desk, so when we filmed the shoes on the turntable, they seemed a little dusty. This only really appeared noticeable in the edit.

    John Lobb Paris is owned by luxury group Hermes. Sometime in the 1960’s or 70’s the St James’s John Lobb licensed use of their name to raise some cash. The Paris workshop makes excellent non-bespoke shoes. However their sizing does not extend to wide fittings so not suitable for everyone.
