What ya'll think of monk straps?

Just wore my cordovan monks the other day.

And the cuffs...killin it.

That cordovan looks great man. What company made those?

I have a double monk strap shoe and I like them. Monks are definitely a staple in my wardrobe.

What shoe do y'all think I should get next? I need something lighter since I lean towards more browns and chocolates.

Go with the Chelsea's since you already have some solid work shoes. The Chelseas are also a lot more versatile.

I tend to have too much dark brown in my shoe collection but these are sexy.

Getting more custom shirts made through my tailor.

Had an appointment with him this morning. Some specifications I'm getting are rounded bottom, no placket (clean front), side pleats which IMO are better than a box pleat, and a monogram on the right shirt cuff.

Initially I was going to get a monogram on my watch hand, the left, but he asked me "What hand do you use to shake someone's hand or make deals with? You can shake a person's hand, show them the monogram, and let them know that this shirt is custom made to show you mean business." Having heard that I gotta say I agree...

I just copped these Bonobos White Denim. It's an athletic fit. I tried a similar style in the store and got them in the mail this morning. An excellent fit off the rack and I'm excited to wear them on my trip. These unlock a lot of things in my wardrobe not due to the fabric being denim since it is more all season and white being a clean slate.

Right next to my Suitsupply pleated trousers. You will notice the Bonobos denim is a true optical white and the trousers are an off-white/ecru.

Maaaan the denim is clean slate. You can go with a camel color turtleneck in the winter, or what I'm going to do in the spring by wearing a polo or a floral print shirt.

Trust I'm gonna be careful
