cars and bikes,
For watches, etc., there is a "model name" along with the brand name.
It is also called a pet name,
Cartier Must Tank, Santos,
Seiko Grand Seiko, Road Marvel,
Patek Philippe Calatrava…
etc,
Each brand's masterpiece has a model name.
Actually, men's shoes also have "model names".




These are the "Chambord " from Paraboots, which I really like as deck shoes.
This is a type of derby shoe commonly known as a "U-tip".
Men's shoes honestly all look the same.
Hi, if I could put similar things side by side, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference (lol)

That's why I'm so grateful that they add a "model name" in addition to the brand name.
John Lobb and Crockett & Jones also have model names, so
If you know something, you can immediately think of its shape when you hear the name.

This time, I purchased it from "BR ONLINE", which is well known on YouTube.
This is a special order item, so it is different from the regular model.
Differences in the way the sole is sewn, presence or absence of tags, etc.
There are differences in detail that are unique to bespoke products,
Personally, I like that there are no tags.
The reason I avoided paraboots was because of that tag.
So I really like these shoes.

When I put it on, it feels like a perfect fit for me.
The width is narrow, the instep is a little high, and the heel is small, so
These kind of shoes generally felt loose,
Feels like it's made to order.

And is it a characteristic of French shoes?
Because the length of the toe is not so long that it is said to be "discarded size",
The legs look a little small, but that's good.
The atmosphere is somewhat similar to American shoes,
It doesn't look unfashionable and has a calm European feel.

Since the material is suede, people tend to think, "Would you wear this in the summer?"
Suede is perfect for this season.
This is because Japan's climate has a lot of rain.
Suede is especially useful during the rainy season.
Suede has long piles, so waterproof spray can be applied well.
It's super easy to care for as all you have to do is brush it.
Suede, which used to have a strong image of winter wear,
Nowadays, it has become one of the items that can be worn all season.

If you read the text up to this point, it's completely a shoemaker's comment,
We are a watchmaker after all (lol)
But not only watches but also other items,
Things I thought about wherever I went,
I want to write about the meals that moved me and share them with others.

By the way, even if I write this much, it won't amount to even 1 yen...
Someone please give me the advertising fee so I can advertise it (lol)
