Want - Alfred Sargent Derby

Normally I'm not too fond of black shoes, but I desperately want these heavy derby shoes by Alfred Sargent. They're perfect for the season with the heavy Commando soles by Itshide and the waxy leather is quite easy to maintain. They're made in England, in Northampton to be precise and they're, of course, goodyear welted.

Good thing my birthday is coming up and I've behaved very well this year.

Crockett & Jones - Prince Albert Loafers

This is certainly not for the timid dresser and they might be quite hard to pull off, but I'm getting a bit obsessed with these. This doesn't mean that I'll ever buy them with a £300 price tag, but I'll certainly enjoy my C&J penny loafers even more.

I think the correct term for this loafer style is a Prince Albert. Mostly intended for evening wear with a smoking jacket but I think they would look good with just about anything. At least the colours are just great. That rust orange suede...

You can even get them in velvet with a monogram.

Head over to Grafford, if you want a pair or just browse through the most comprehensive collection of C&J shoes, I've ever seen online.
