Advice on men’s shoes. Here is my list and wanted to know what I can add:
Gucci Jordaan: Black; Gucci Jordan: Dark Brown;
TOD’s City Gommino Suede Driving Shoe; AE: Park Avenue Oxfords: Blavk, Brown, Walnut; Thursday Boots: White Casual and Brown Boots. What other luxury pieces I can add? Looking for contemporary pieces I can add that will last me for long. 41Y, Male

If you’re getting Tod’s and Gucci’s, you can do better than Thursdays for boots. Look for a heritage American or Japanese brand. Doesn’t get much better than the a nice pair or PNW boots in terms of durability and classic style

Yes I wasn’t quite sure I would like boots. So went with Thursday and absolutely love boots now..

Not that they don’t look good but brands like Gucci and tods are just mass produced with a label slapped on so i would avoid long term. TLB Mallorca ($400ish) Carmina ($550ish) Crockett and Jones ($600ish). You’re going to get much much better quality and value from these brands. The designs/shape of their lasts are very different from AE so it may or may not be for you but i like that they are sleeker and more asymmetrical. Carmina and tlb also offer customized options for an extra $150. If you have unlimited budget, gaziano and girling or yohei fukuda make insane bespoke shoes.

Thanks!

So, some of my co-workers simply said that they want to go ahead and start something or start looking elsewhere (career change) because they don't know how much it will last at the pace we are going in regards to case intake and pay out.

Interested in everyone’s opinions on replica luxury. I ask because, as noted in the previous thread re: Chanel’s price increases, the quality of authentic luxury bags is going way down while the price increases consistently. Specifically Chanel and LV. I’m fascinated in the online rep community and it looks like rep quality has increased exponentially (with genuine materials and 1:1 markings, stitching, hardware, etc). What’s your argument for or against replicas?
