Vivienne!!!!


Imagine they're grey or green!!!!! Think abouuuuut it


First of all the boot is a treat to look upon; the height is right, the shade of brown is spot on, the laces are neat- leather by the looks of it, thin and ever so shiny making a nice contrast to matte finish of the (what looks like) suede upper. Take note of the lacing holes and hooks, resembling the form of a figure skating boot with the hooks and traditional hiking boots with the metal finished grommets/eyelets/laceholes. (I like) Moving onto the detail that makes this boot distinct from any other; the four perfectly spaced (laser cut/handmade?) slashes that reveal a brassy-gold metallic toe cap/lining really set this boot out from the majority out there. A rather bold and outlandish detail accomplished in such a clean manner. Check out the low version in what I can only describe as a take on the classic Church's shoe bellow.

From Gant's Rugger range for the younger fan of Americano style. These lightweight straight fitting chinos are nice, but that's it, just nice. Slightly lacking the cool factor
Via Gantuk.com

Velour's offering, a better shape, with the tapered straight fit, a slightly lower crotch but not quite a carrot fit. Almost there. available in loads of colours
