Yutaka Seigaku - model Carina in purplish blue

I sampled the below shoe from Master Yutaka Seigaku aka "Il Corno Blu". What I like about the shoe is the design, a single eyelet Derby, silk ribbon laced, square chisel toe and the purplish blue colouring. It has the elements of a court shoe, but.....I could settle for this shoe as a compliment to a Dinner suit, instead of Opera pumps. Give this creation a military shine worthy HRH Queen Elizabeth Alexandra Mary The Second of England. I am dead sure not an eyebrow will be lifted, as these are just perfect for an Aristocratic gent to a Dinner suiting event.

Il Cornu Blu - Yutaka Seigaku four classics for today

For the day I have sampled Il Cornu Blu - Master Yutaka Seigaku, Japanese bespoke shoemaker's four classical shoes.

Master Yutaka Seigaku in person

 Below a rendition of four classical, elegant, stylish and timeless pieces, a side gusset and three Oxfords from the hands of master Seigaku aka Il Cornu Blu. 

From left: a black side gusset with punched chisel squared cap toe last, a cognac/mahogany Balmoral punched cap toe Oxford, squared chisel last, a black wing tip Adelaide with a medallion, rounded last and a classical full brogue Oxford in very nice rich suede leather, chisel squared toe last. 

Very classic. All of these shoes will not raise an eye brow in any hardcore conservative environment.
