Let me know what you think about the CS 9899, I think they’re gorgeous.

[@axetail]

These are fire🔥🔥🔥 too bad im not in the market for some black captoes and kostas has a pair of the brown austerity brogues on back order for me.

[@wesbao]

Wow!! I just got these shoes today after using your discount code and I got to tell you when I held them up they had this extraordinary aura of a magnificent craftsmanship. I was so excited to have good quality shoes again after spending years in the tropics. The instep perfect, the painted outer soles classy, the rich tanning process that went into the leather is fantastic and because of this I immediately christen my new shoes with a thin coating of Saphir Renovateur and made the leather even richer looking. On my next order I will get the brown ones and have the metal toe plates on them. By the way I did not see on the web site the ordering process for the metal toe plates, Please inform. Yes I will be wearing these shoes like a proud father holding is child for the first time showing them off to other future fathers. Thanks Vladimir and to your partner Kostas for bringing such value to the public.

[@bradle4162]

Honestly, I hesitantly agree with not buying black shoes if you hardly ever wear black. I have black double monk from Ace Marks and a black chelsea boot Carlos Santos. I never wear the black double monks and I have to force myself to find an outfit to wear my chelsea boots because my ensemble is very reliant on brown, green, and blue. I'll probably sell the monks, but I know for a fact that if I bought the Carlos Santos in brown I would wear them far more often. Black oxfords are a must. But if you'll never wear them, then I would buy a Park Avenue from Allen Edmonds on Ebay and call it done.

[@markmahan6868]

Thanks Vladimir! I have two pairs of Carlos Santos and even after several years of wear they're still beautiful. These Oxfords in the video are special. A head's up: Bonafè is pronounced bone-a-fey.

Black cap to oxford's and a charcoal suit is a classic I love to see. I personally own a pair from John Doe Shoes in black Tannerie D'Annonay Calf and they are very comfortable for the ~$210 USD price for my current student budget in Canada.

[@v_r_]

That's a good combo, perfect for a wedding. I'm in the process of ordering a custom charcoal suit from Spier & Mackay, actually.

[@dqalombardi]

I agree with the comment about cheap cemented black shoes. I have a good collection of Goodyear welted shoes and dress boots in brown that I invest in, wear literally every single day, and expect to last me decades... so I'm not new to quality men's footwear. But the $60 pair of black cap toe oxfords that I bought in high school still do fine for me. I think I have literally only had to wear them twice: for a wedding and a funeral. If I had bought a $400 pair that would be $200 per wear...

Pro tip to anyone who already has black cap toe oxfords, you can use the patina service to get a CS oxford in a different color. It is an open channel sole and not on the same last, but it is the 401 showed on the brown austerity brouge (a shoe I own and is a great shoe). Their patina work is stunning.

Vlad, enjoyed the presentation. You maybe able to suggest to your contacts at Carlos Santos that there is an emerging market in Australian capital cities. For the last eighty years Florsheim shoes sold their USA made Imperial range through a national chain of shops they owned along with a wide range of high quality shoes that they made in my State, Victoria. This is just a suggestion, because the manufacturer should already know the status of the Australian market, but it's changed. Phil.

[@SteamHunterKostas]

Phillip Moodie it’s up to the retailers to order the shoes. Australia has it harder generally! But hey, I offer free shipping there too!

[@phillipmoodie9071]

@@SteamHunterKostas . Thanks for you comment. At the moment the retailers, in Victoria, where in the past, women from Sydney came to buy top quality, top fashion, shoes have all been forced to close down over the last year. And Myer Melbourne, that thirty years ago was one of the largest single site Department Stores in the world, with only two stores in the USA larger, didn't have any major brand shoes on display in their Head Office store in Bourke Street Melbourne. It's a long story, but Australia has never had a major Mail Order business and even Sears and Roebuck gave up. They not only tried to work with major Direct Sales companies, but in partnership with Myer and IBM they tried to initiate the creation of the first national satellite network in a vain attempt to pioneer Online Shopping in Australia I know, because an IBM Director, whose cousin was the first Australian Billionaire put me into a joint venture with his cousin, Robert Holmes a' Court, in a well funded strategy to create in partnership with Rockwell International ( Who a year earlier launched the Space Shuttle, that they designed and built ) to create an Australia wide satellite broadband/internet that Rockwell could market to the three quarters of the world, who like Australia, used European communication standards. That was never finished because of the political based intervention of the same ACTU/Union officials, whose divisive action, during the last decade has now closed down the entire Textile and Footwear manufacturing industry in Victoria, where all of the major manufacturers were based. But it's a new world in the entire Retail Sector in Australia, with the acceptance of Online Shopping. But none of them are going to contact you first. This opportunity is Text Book "Sales 101".

Vladimir, I was checking out a fragrance reviewer attempting to do a shoe suggestion video and it was frightening. He first started off by saying that it's really hard to get a good pair of quality shoes under $175 (I had to watch the video after hearing that because I knew it was going to be laughable). He then proceeded to show his collection of Magnanni (he actually highlighted a pair of navy suede loafers that he said he wore to a formal event......WTF). Please let the gents know that just because you get tricked on the price, doesn't mean you got a pair of good quality shoes.

Anyway, your an awesome proponent for all things style related. Man I just wanted to catch up with ya a minute to say keep em' comin'. Looking forward to the next one my friend. FYI - Lil' man stole the show! Later.

[@v_r_]

I appreciate your kind words and I'm glad that you've found me. Also Kostas is awesome and very knowledgable, it's been a pleasure working with him. Vlad is more than fine, that's what most people call me and yes, my son Chace is gunning for my job LOL

It's all good, ask all the questions you need. Kostas is extremely responsive, so he'll get back to you I'm sure.

The suit is it, Spier & Mackay, I am assuming it was custom. I was wondering about the lapel width did you order it like that or did it come standard. What is the with of the lapel?

Thank you, Arnon!

My daughter says you look like a crossover of Idris Elba and Forest Whitaker 😂😂😂. I know you’ve gotten the “Forest Whitaker” comment before.

[@v_r_]

You're mad late today, bro. I get Forest everyday but I remember touring these 2 girls at work a couple years ago and they was like you look like that actor, I was expecting Forest and they said Idris. I was like I'll take it 😂😂😂.

[@eyeheartsushi2212]

Vladimir Riché Better late than never. I take it they fixed your computer. That’s good, bro.

[@v_r_]

I agree LOL. But yes, I picked it up on Saturday 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@phillipmoodie9071]

@@eyeheartsushi2212 Without wanting to question the exact nature of the "Software" problem, that the Computer Shop remedied, when the Apple took over the Graphic Art sector with the release of the Lisa in 1983, the Users with Software problems were often classified as R.F.M. ( Read the F'ing Manual ) problems by Apple Dealers technicians, because compared to users of the new IBM Personal Computer, they were more interested in the output than learning how it was achieved. I bought one of the first Apple Lisa computers sold in Australia after I left NCR where I was responsible for the release of the famous Tower Minicomputer that would support 8-10 users, because of the powerful Motorola 6800 c.p.u. The same c.p.u. used in the Lisa, which is the sole reason why it had such amazing graphics capabilities. It was a very powerful tool. Phil.

I'd probably pick the Padder Black cap toe oxford from Armoury over this one, just because I like the last.

[@donaldgirard2429]

Gorgeous shoes at a reasonable price with the Norwegian stitching. They're the shit Bro.

[@deez6005]

By the way. Black cap toe shoes are RAW! Lol. Black is nice especially when it has a deep and rich look to it. People who say black are bland. Don’t have any style to pull it off. I like black.

[@jeffanco9367]

Do you think black plain toe oxfords are as versatile as the cap toe? If not, why? Beautiful shoes by the way!

[@SteamHunterKostas]

jeff anco plain toes unless it’s a wholecut are more casual and will crease more

[@v_r_]

I think they're just as versatile but I don't love them aesthetically as I always prefer a cap plus the absence of the cap causes them to crease a lot more since there's no separation at the toe when the shoe flexes as you walk.

[@jeffanco9367]

Thanks for the insight

[@v_r_]

It’s my pleasure, bro!

[@austindavid981]

How do these compare to Cobbler Union City Black Cap Toe Oxford?

[@v_r_]

What’s up, Austin? C-U makes nice shoes but I think CS is better. The finishes and last is a lot more attractive to me.

[@user-yr8kn9he1l]

What kind of track is playing in the background?

[@Lil7Prince7Yi7Ru]

Gaziano & Girling or Edward Green Black Cap Toe Oxford or bust.

Glad your back though now lets get you to 100k with that plaque.Just look how LIT your comment section is?Please do a video on why property agents and lawyers always dress immaculate?

[@v_r_]

What’s up, Jarod? I thought I was going to be out of action a little bit longer but thankfully, they couldn’t find anything seriously wrong with my computer. They wiped the hard drive clean and I just started with a clean slate. The growth has been declining the past few months actually, people are worried about a lot more than Menswear these days. But it will pick up eventually because guys like you keep supporting it. I appreciate your kind words as always.

@@v_r_ yes folks are concerned with real life matters however you offer an alternative as peeps are deep into alternative forms of entertainment. Your content is never boring and looking forward to seeing your Twin Return cameo. Glad you're laptop is back in action.
