Not taking the safe route with that design.  Those are going to elicit strong opinions…

I guess since it is the murder moc, it should look like it can kill people.  I suppose the ripple sole does achieve that.

haha - yeah - we sold it at the pop up flea, and now have a handful of remaining sizes available at Dunderdon in SoHo.  With that said, all the 'industry' guys were buying these - makes sense - they're in many ways pushing the envelope/forward, which is what guys in the industry want.  Daiki from Engineered Garments was a fan and asked us to let him know if we had his size available after the show so he could buy a pair.  Also sold pairs to guys from LVC, redwing, etc.

how you think i fund my purchases.    the murder moc will be mine.

i find myself drawn to the peanut suede trail oxfords & the crepe sole penny loafer.

I like the murder mocs but, my favorite is the peanut suede and navy crepe sole Oxford

I like the MM but at 330 lbs. there wouldn't be much ripple effect if they were on my feet!

Took the words out of my mouth. Beast Wars.

rough shots:

the ripple is much less noticeable than I expected & the leather reminds me of IH 21oz denim, strong but pliable & forgiving. will see if i can wear them enough to see how the ripple wears in.

oh & i stumbled upon these beauties:

how is it no one saw these & showed me.  lifted from:

i'm jealous of the styleforum set.  the price point isn't crazy (a bit under $450) for such a great set of boots. trying to talk myself out of buying the first ones as my closet is about to burst . . .

I'm a sucker for cap toe boots.  That second pair is very, very nice.

Must be strong…

[Dirty Denim]

Lovely looking boots…cap toe looks best

[thomasnunnally]
