I hope every single one of you becomes so successful that your mere existence pisses certain people off. That's when you know you really made it. Because for every one of those people that hate you… It will have taken you helping 1000 to even get to that level… Real talk: Do your thing. Do it well. Let ’em be mad about it. ~ Andy Frisella

I’ve recently purchased some quality brand shoes from Vinted. There’s a pair of black Cheaney loafers, a pair of burgundy Grenson loafers, and a pair of resoled Loake 1880 double buckle monks. All 3 came to £37 plus postage, which felt like value. A nice starting point. The Cheaney and Grenson feel good to go as is, but the Loake need a little TLC. I knew this when purchasing, and saw them as a fun project. There are some wizard shoe-folk in this group, so I’m asking them: what do I need to do to make these work again? Will a polish be enough? Treat me as if I know absolutely nothing, because, well, I know absolutely nothing. 😊 Thanks in advance!

After my youngest stylist chose my Wednesday outfit, my slightly older stylist has selected the FriYay outfit. More WFH with a VIDCON or two and the cooler weather meaning I get to wear my Coats. I added the Suspenders and Cap, suspenders as my trousers are loose and cap to keep the head warm. Todays outfit consists of; Oxford Oxford Mason Overcoat in Dark Olive, 52% Wool, 38% Polyester, 10% other M.J. Bale Bowning Suit in Green, woven in Italy into a Super 110s twill with a subtle two-tone micro pupstooth weave and lightly brushed flannel finish.
