Restoring a pair of shoes, dating from the 1970s, at the Aubercy workshop in Paris. 

Many, many more photos here.

Simon Crompton has a fun post up describing a “sliding scale of office formality,” wherein he changes one item at a time in his outfit, beginning as casual as can be (for Simon this means slumming it in $700 bespoke jeans), and morphing into something that wouldn’t be out of place at Pitti. 

Lucky for us, he photographed himself in the same pose after each change, resulting in the series of “spot the difference” images you see above.

A pleasing combination of not-too-loud (for Pitti, at least) colors and patterns. All this chap needs now is a haircut.

The New York Times’ Guy Trebay has a nice insight into the role - or lack thereof - that sound plays in contemporary men’s dress habits:

“Zola, among others, lavished sensual descriptions upon the sounds made by clothing — the swish of a silk skirt, the fallen-leaves rustle of a woman’s crinolines trailing across parquet. Somehow, in an age of stretch fabrics and sneakers, this aspect of dress got lost.

Stomping around in a pair of Mr. Browne’s heavy-soled wingtips brought it back for me. The trigger was Mr. Browne’s custom of adding metal taps to his shoes, on both toe and heel.

And while it’s true that Harrison — a friend’s poodle, with an Upper East Side blow-out — garnered most of the notice as we crossed Fifth Avenue, I was conscious of the way Mr. Browne’s shoes rendered it impossible for me to walk the pavement unheard or unobserved.”
