<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I am not going to be the spoiler of the 2013 Summer, but like all good things come to end at some point. Now it is time to bring those darker coloured shoes out to welcome the Autumn, when I say out, I do mean, in a well polished, cared manner worthy a gent. If you did not do that, please be inspired by <a href="http://dandyshoecare.tumblr.com/">Dandy Shoe Care</a>. How to accomplished that?</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Now it is obvious The Patina designer, artist The Grand Duke of patina is back from his well earned and deserved vacation. I am not a fan of Aldens (USA) shoes, however I have two pairs of Norwegian split toe on Black cordovan and Shell 8 (more dark burgundy). When I saw this transformation from the almost nothing saying colour to the Limited Edition, I was taken back and with a good reason too. A well renditioned patina design and colouring. Well done Grand Duke Of patina.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">When viewing pictures of men from the Pitti show, you observe very well dressed gents, going about chatting to other gents/ladies, simply doing what they do on a non-working day and having fun and looking very good. Digging into the the photos sourced from <a href="http://www.thesartorialist.com/">The Sartorialist</a> from Pitti two or three years ago, did find these two photos of two different gents, however both opted for "uniform" Summer clothing for the Summer period. What is striking about the uniform is the colour of the suiting, the shirting and the necktie. I could have said same suit, but no. The first gent is in a double breasted suiting with patch pockets, paired with a sky blue large gingham shirting, closing it with a navy blue knitted tie.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The gent below, is in a single breasted suiting, sky blue medium gingham shirting, closing with a navy blue knitted tie. Very interesting, how the colours and patterns were chosen for the day. (Maybe they did call each other before venturing out). How would I know?</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Still in the mood of Pitti pairing sun glasses and Summer hats, we have two gents, one in a double breasted jacket, boater hat and sun glasses in a sky blue shirting and a pocket square, looking so elegant. The other photo depicts a gent in a cream suit, single breasted suiting crisp white shirting and a knitted tie and a Summer hat. Both have dashed their clothing so elegantly. However on the second picture I do miss the pocket square.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">From Pitti I have sampled three-four gents, two in double breasted jackets and two in single breasted single blazer/jacket for the Summer. Now what is unique is that all gents assembled their attire with Summer hats, classical Summer hats and paired them with sun shades. Looking at the pictures each man is unique as how he sets the dash and splash on his wardrobe. Just so inspiring and well done.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Mostly for the Summer men are in loafers, boaters, Belgian shoes, espadrilles (for the beach) very seldom do we see a sandal shoe. For the day I have sampled a very unique sandal shoe from <a href="http://imaihiroki.com/">Master Imai Hiroki </a>. The sandal is in to tones, open to let ventilation pass through when it gets very hot - air condition we could say. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The design is very unique, so well done and executed, this shoe it's worth any shoe wardrobe. Enjoy it.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">For the day I have sampled a pair of black quarter brogues with a punched cap toe (Peter) from the <a href="http://www.gjcleverley.co.uk/">GJ Cleverley's </a>"Semi Bespoke" offerings. As you may know the GJ Cleverley house prior to introducing the "<a href="http://www.gjcleverley.co.uk/our-shoes/anthony-cleverley">Anthony Cleverley</a>" range they had the <a href="http://www.gjcleverley.co.uk/our-shoes/bespoke-range">Bespoke</a>, Semi bespoke and the <a href="http://www.gjcleverley.co.uk/our-shoes/bench-made">Bench made</a> ranges. At then the Semi bespoke range consisted of about six styles of shoes, and If I recall correctly all were on the 337 last.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So this year in March I ordered a pair of "Peter" from the "semi bespoke range" and waited for a few months for the shoes to come. Finally they arrived, but I was busy travelling, so I signed off for them and off I went. Fourteen days later before flying out again, needed to look at my newly acquired "boring" black shoes. And surprise, surprise.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">First and foremost, the leather is different from my other GJ Cleverley shoes, much better quality, the finishing is quite different, one can note the hand finishing part, the heel is slightly smaller (Cuban heel) compared to the bench made and the sole waist much suppressed, more elegant and slimmer and gives an overall sleek look. The shoes are also lighter. Oh yes, the Peter is not just Peter but Peter version 2, which is not on the 337 last but 348, I pressume, as I have a punched cap toe from 2009 or 2010 which is on that 348 last, I believe it is called Charles. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Long story short. A great looking shoe, well done and executed and different from my other GJ Cleverley's bench made shoes. One minor thing, the Cleverley's forgot to include the shoe trees, will be calling them before I fly out again tomorrow. I am pleased with this shoe. As you can note, I did some elbow work, not much but a bit and you can see the results. Quite a shoe even a black "boring" punched cap toe shoe can bring so much delight. So what is next? I will be moving from the normal bench made to the semi bespoke range, for the +700 quid, it's worth it.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The beauty of going bespoke, the design, pattern, leather, last, colour, brogueing or punching, inner lining and more. As I have said before going into the process of bespoke, be it a suit, coat, shoes and overcoat or more it is not just purchasing but a process of commissioning something that will last for many years. For the day I have sampled a favourite shoe of mine, a side gusset with faux laces from <a href="http://www.gjcleverley.co.uk/">GJ Cleverley</a>. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Now let us a take a full brogue, strip it off (away with the brogue stitchings), just leave the punching, then add the faux laces in a darker colour than the shoe, pinched it up with the GJ Cleverley square chisel toe and made from the Whiskey calf hide and then dash it up with side gussets on both sides. Oh ---what do we have? A full brogue (punched) no stitchings to distract the eye from the punching, add side gussets and with faux laces, so elegant, simple, yet very refined and classic.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So English, rather so GJ Cleverley's(que) and not within 10 000 Km's will you see something similar. Oh if my pocket was deep enough, I could relieve some of the heavy burden from my pocket and make the Cleverley's cash box a lot heavier.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">HRH Prince Charles, Prince of Wales and the Duke of Rothesay (Scotland) and Duke of Cornwall (South West England), was recently spotted wearing the same grey suit over several occasions. We are all aware that The Prince of Wales is a man who recycles his shoes, now we can add the grey suiting to the recycling process. Here it shows that the Duke of Cornwall does care for his clothing, which are bespoke by Anderson & Sheppard. Wonder why the Prince Of Wales has been selected best dress gent over time. Well done your Royal Highness we can learn a thing or two from you.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Just before I head for my Summer vacation, I just needed to add some of the items which I had planned, but...alas. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Sometimes I do ask myself, when does one start the hard journey to be stylish, dress impeccably and classical? For most of the time, we hear about those born with a golden spoon and have the time to do so effortlessly and under the heavy hawk eye guidance of their parents. But what about the rest of us? </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Now for the day I have sampled young Master Roberts, just at seventeen and looking very dapper in a grey single breasted suiting with one button, jetted pockets, which gives the jacket (suit) a very formal look, slim lapels (almost sixties look). White shirting and a very slim </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">navy blue tie. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Now we just have to wait for a second, ..... at seventeen, the young Roberts is dressed up for a job interview. Now how many grown ups have turned for an interview in chinos and thought, I am wearing dress trousers? How many have pulled up a suit for a job interview? </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I have to congratulate young Master Roberts for pulling this look for an interview, it shows that it's never too early to start dressing up impeccably and with classic style. </span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Young Master Roberts heading for an interview, very soberly dressed up. Your father must be very proud of you young man. (I just miss that little pocket square on the jacket.)</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The Summer has been extremely hot in Europe and seems to hold the high temperatures for a time still. I was about not to continue on Summer clothing and shoes, but due to the very high heat, it will still be appropriate to mention some of the Summer offerings from diverse bespoke shoemakers and bespoke tailors. For the day I have sampled a pair of tassel loafers in real Summer colours (two toned) red and tannish in a square toe last. This is a product from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/cliffrobertsshoemaker.northampton">Master Cliff Roberts </a>the "One man bespoke operation". Many of you know by now that besides <a href="http://www.gjcleverley.co.uk/">GJ Cleverley</a> my other favourite shoemaker is Master Cliff Roberts.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The colouring (patina) seems to have been done directly onto the leather rather than creating the patina by polishing, I maybe wrong on that, will have to ask Master Cliff Roberts about the technique used. Why I love this loafer and it's colours, it's because it still looks very sober and not shouting at the world. Would not mind this piece of shoe as part of my Summer arsenal.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I have often asked myself the question, how do the artisans (of clothing, shoes, ties etc) pull their sartorial look together? For the day, I went no further than looking into what the "worlds ultimate bespoke trouser maker" wear, not just wear but how do they pull the ultimate timeless, classical and very stylish impression. So to come with an answer I sampled the "Ambrosi look", father and son, how they do it. </span><br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I have been following Salvatore Ambrosi, the Naples based bespoke trouser maker for quite some time. I have to admit that I have not yet seen or held a pair of trousers from his hands, but I have to admit that what I see it is remarkable true artisanship. What makes the Ambrosi family operation so unique, is that they are focused on a niche product, making only trousers, bespoke trousers entirely by hand for their clients. It is not a mistake that the Ambrosi's are named, the "Ultimate Bespoke Trouser makers". So in short, a pair of Ambrosi made trousers, will be the ultimate you can get within the art of bespoke trouser making. I would not mind a few pairs of trousers from the Ambrosi's. </span></div>

Quite inspirational, the putting together of colours, cloth, accessories and putting it all together to make an everlasting timeless impression. Why not get inspired by these gents.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I have sampled pictures of the late HRH The Duke Of Windsor and of HRH Prince Charles the Duke of Cornwall in Summer outfits. Both Royalties look very good, stunning, elegant and timeless in their Summer outfits. No need to look sloppy, just because it is Summer. Follow the legends and look sharp, timeless and classical.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">For the day I have sampled shoes and boots from </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.h6.dion.ne.jp/">Master Esamu Egewa </a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> from Japan. Some of the shoes have a bit of a twist, splash and dash which I have never seen before. I would like to highlight the wing Balmoral Oxford in brown calf and brown suede, where the lacing is extra covered. Interesting indeed. The black calf and black suede Chukka with the tassel lacings. Another interesting and unique creation. Lastly the button Balmoral boot, nothing strange about it, rather the hide selection, which is a combination of calf and what looks like elephant hide (top part) then it is green(ish).</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">How to pull a great Summer look like the gent (Dandy) Mr. Akira Sorimachi below. The Japanese Dandy is elegantly dressed in a bespoke Seersucker two button single breasted suit, white shirting with a club collar, tie in a dark shade of blue, white linen pocket square, blue socks, co-respondent loafer in brown and white, top it all off, an umbrella. Simple, elegant and so classic an outfit. Well done Sir.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I am fascinated by the Japanese bespoke shoemakers, each time I look at some of their artisanship and craftsmanship, makes me think of the saying "the sky is the limit", which seems not to apply for them. They push beyond the skies into outer-space. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I have now sampled a bespoke linen and calf co-respondent shoe made by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/tyeshoemaker">Tye Shoemaker </a>of Japan. Now I thought I had seen it all, but this was the top notch of bespoke shoemaking. So simple, yet refined, classical shoe and beautifully executed. WOW! Stunning shoe. Yes, the sky will never be the limit. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">For the day I have sampled <a href="http://www.gjcleverley.co.uk/">GJ Cleverley</a> classic shoes from their Anthony Cleverley line. All sampled are made from the famous Museum Calf hide. The hide is indeed stunning, very unique and gives a flow in the patina of the leather. </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">GJ Cleverley does it again, Wow! If my pockets were deep enough, would have all of these in my humble shoe closet.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">A while ago a blogged about <a href="http://the-shoe-aristocat.blogspot.se/2012/11/giacopelli-bespoke-shoes-from-parma.html">Giacopelli shoes</a> from Parma (Italy) and at the time assumed that there was a working collaboration between <a href="http://www.calzoleriagiacopelli.it/">Giacopelli</a> and <a href="http://www.dandyshoecare.it/">Dandy Shoe Care</a>. Now I can cement that statement, indeed there is a connection between the shoemaker and the The patina Grand Wizard (Dandy Shoe Care).</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">As explained earlier, I assumed that Giacopelli and Dandy Shoe Care had a working relationship, and for the day I have sampled a tassel loafer made in Russian Reindeer hide by Giacopelli and handled and treated by Dandy Shoe Care.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Below depicted is a tassel loafer in Russian Reindeer hide before the Grand Wizard of Patina gives it an artistic hand treatment and care, and the look after Dandy Shoe Care treatment.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> The choice of the leather and patina elevates the same shoe to higher and better dimensions. Judge yourself by comparing the pictures of the same shoe style. Compare to the last picture, the same shoe but different hide.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I am aware that the English shoemakers are not very keen of Cordovan, "crup" as it is called in the UK. Cordovan is the American bang. But ...yes, when I saw this "crup" grained full brogue from <a href="http://www.gjcleverley.co.uk/">GJ Cleverley</a>, I go Wow!</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I almost passed it but then, a better look at the hide, punching details and overall look of the shoe and colour then I was interested. It is a very interesting shoe, first and foremost grained Cordovan hide, then the punching and brogueing, which might look excessive and too much. But we have to go back in the day when brogues had a purpose in the Highlands. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Will not go into details, now this is a perfect shoe for the country side with tweeds, will perhaps go hand in hand with a city suit, but can not imagine how? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> Another thing distinctive with the shoe is the punching /brogue has a contrast to the grain and texture of the "crup" not to mention the white welting stitches which matches the brogue/punching. Oh, almost forgot not using blind eyelets, thus giving the shoe a vintage look. Difficult polishing this shoe, unless keeping with natural polish.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The beauty of going bespoke, where the commissioner of the shoe goes wild but keeps the traditions and knows what is classic, elegant and timeless. Nothing fancy just bespoke and from GJ Cleverley. Well done and no more talk.</span></div>
