I've been in need of a pair of black shoes . I was watching the 'Chap' gush over Loakes and had to have a pair. He loves 1880s. I searched ebay for a while but nothing until last week. What seemed to be a brand-new pair of wingtips (my favorite) but in L1 edition which is a lower step from the 1880s (still goodyear welded). New, the L1 is above $350. These were listed at $180. I offered $100. I think maybe they were worn once for 5 minutes because of a slight scuff on the sole of one. They fit great. Can't wait to care for them and, of course, show them off when I wear them!

After spending the weekend down the Jersey Shore with my fan and home to find this waiting in the mail. I made level 7; Major a week or so ago. Real appreciate this extra level of community from @Antonio Centeno Since joining in late August I’ve met and learned from many amazing men. Looking forward to the next phase of this journey. Thanks everyone for your engagement and helping me achieve this meaningful level and gift. Honor. Courage. Commitment.
