Disagreeable Menswear Post Of The Day

Russell Street said:
Sorry to introduce the relatively bland Andyland disagreeablilty here, but this is just wrong. Epaulet, Carmina, how do you allow such a monstrosity to be made? It makes the homely Norwegian Stitched Toe look graceful in comparison. And I have no idea what the obsession with weird orange-tan shoe leather is about.

That ldreadful trouser/sock/shoe combo shows that AAAC is indeed pre-school for those seeking style rehabilitation. In true igent style, they were bought marked down (because people with an ounce of taste did not bite).

The guy got the Carmina shoes via Epaulet. Not sure if it is collaboration or just regular stock.
Hit or miss might be a better description, but I'm really not that familiar with either.

"Carmina for Epaulet is a capsule collection of exquisite footwear made expressly for us.

The "Taylor" is a seriously elegant dress shoe. The moc toe is hand-stitched and rolled, with a split-toe seam in the front. This anglo-styled shape just as handsome with a suit as it is with denim, and equally appealing with bright socks as it is sockless. This particular shoe is crafted in beautiful caramel French Calfskin with a subtle bit of burnishing on the toe and around the side seams.

The Taylor sits on the Simpson last - which imparts a sleek shape and tapered toe whilst maintaining a medium-width and comfortable fit. It's lined with our signature purple glove leather liner and sits upon a sturdy goodyear-welted double leather sole."

Wow, with a write-up like that I would pay full price!
 
The website photos don't look so awful. But, the baby-poo color is a strike in my eyes, the moc-stitching is totally wrong on anything calling itself remotely dressy, and a split toe is a dicey feature that in no way helps here. I'm really disturbed by the juxtaposition of friggin comfortable and folksy mocassin stitching on a chisel-toed shoe; it's a reach too far, I think.

I see...
 
The quality of that stitching looks fairly poor for Carmina.

Skimmed through AAAC's WAYWRN. Strange place. People younger than 40 shouldn't wear hats.

What, exactly, were Andy's credentials in starting a style forum named after himself? He seems fairly poorly dressed.

The idea of a linen overcoat strikes me as a bit ridiculous. If it is cold enough to need and overcoat, why wear a linen one? And if it is warm enough for linen, why wear an overcoat?

Y'alls should have a riot with this tumblr:

I am violating the SF TOS with this avatar...except they yanked this image! Never mind.

Ohh boy, I hate:
the fruity pile of bracelets
Ankle bracelets!!!
Stupid contrast stitching on sleeve button holes...then skip a button... and have a non-matching button. Asshole cubed!
Don't fold cuffs back unless doing dirty work!
I won't get started on the brutal formalwear treatments on the second page.
 
Wait, I've been using department store S-M-L shoe trees for decades with no issue and these guys are having trouble with manufacturer's last trees? How can this be?

I'm sorry but pictures like that can't be made unseen.....

Did he already forward you a letter from his lawyers?

Is he also approaching google? Because all these images show up when doing a search via google.

I would be happy to edit the posts and provide a link to the original source if that is what he wants.

What is the russian culture you are talking about in your signatur? Is it more than drinking vodka? Never seen a not druken russian.

DonCologne, welcome!

Kudos for your blog, as Gianni Cerutti would say to his friends-customers.

Please don't let Zhirinovsky's responses put you off! There are also more empathic members here that are in touch with their female side, like me!

I myself would love to see you posting selfies here. Would save me a lot of effort.

I ASKED YOU TOO EXPLAIN!
IS YOUR BRAIN ALREADY JAMMED WITH ALL THE WÜRSTEL YOU EAT DAY IN DAY OUT?
EXPLAIN DON COLOGNE, EXPLAIN!!!!!!!!

Zhirinovsky I like it so much better when you whisper than all this shouting. Like the times you approach me from behind, whisper dirty Rasheen things in my ear, and take me like a man, giving me a reacharound at the same time.
