I didn't realize that it was actually a difference between those shoes. So what I actually did was one into the closet and put on a classic double-breasted pinstripe suit made by Hawes & Curtis with black oxfords and then switched over to the black derby, and I immediately saw the difference in the aesthetics..

[@AskOkeyInc]

That’s right James Oxford for suits and derby for sport coats

Okey, while I have quite a few shoes ( I believe in have choices) in a madrid of colors and style.

[@real_fjcalabrese]

The dressiest derbies are uniform shoes. These are black military or postal low quarters.

[@AskOkeyInc]

Very correct sir

[@real_fjcalabrese]

Mostly, I agree with you. I see the level of broguing and the coloration as having as much of an impact on formality as the lacing system. My most casual dress shoes are Allen Edmunds' Dalton. These are derby wingtip dress boots in Chili Shell Cordovan. These would look off with most suits. Since I tend to wear a blazer and contrasting pants these shoes work for most of my outfits. I'll even wear polished dressy western boots with a sport coat. They look wrong with suits. My most formal dress shoes are also from Allen Edmunds. These are the Carlyle in black. These Oxfords have no broguing or toe cap. Polished to a high shine they will work with black tie.

I have only seen them in very modern cuts, but I think the fabric would look wonderful with a classic and more boxy silhouette

[@thelog86]

Depends on your instep. A person with a high instep its hard for them to fit into an oxford. 20+ year high level shoe salesman

However, once I buy myself my black oxfords and my black monks, I'll retire my derbies from my formal wear and transition them into my business casual wear for the foreseeable future.

The Material use in making the shoes is irrelevant Suede oxfords are oxfords and so are suede derbies Some might use suede oxfords casually because of the fabric but I discourage that

How much of a misstep is it to wear derby's with more formal office attire. While I appreciate the elegance of oxfords (especially wholecut oxfords) generally I prefer the look of derby shoes and boots.

Mer P, You will NOT get arrest and shot at the wall for wearing a derby with a suit 🤣🤣 But Derbies are inherently casual and better reserved for either casual suits (think tweeds) or Sport Coats This is just tradition

Thanks for making this distinction sir, I have struggled with it for a while. I don’t mind suits and trousers however i always preferred the more casual looks to it. I recently got into ties , I hate ties but I have been rocking ascots and cravats the more casual set of ties. I would really like to know more about dimensions, colours, cuts, brushes, pushes and collars, and all that so I can create a style that suits my personality sir. I would appreciate a response, I understand you are a very busy person so a non response is great as well.
