@EricLDaugh Just ask Pete Ricketts for a short payday loan.

🚨 JUST IN: Sen. Rick Scott reveals a Democrat SENATOR complained he can’t miss his $174,000 paycheck because of his mortgage TSA makes around $50,000 “Well, WHAT ABOUT TSA?!” Senators should get a $0 PAYCHECK until TSA is paid. No excuses!

@rfkenmore John lobb didn’t make the list?

Definitive BIFL/Grail Loafer List —Alden Leisure Handsewn (LHS) -American Ivy OG since 19th century -Strained production. Even stores asking to stock are being turned away —Crockett & Jones Harvard¹ -English take on Ivy -Slightly more refined than LHS -Easier to find rubber soled than Alden —JM Weston 180 -French icon, created mid 20th century -Still Ivy-inspired but most contemporary look of the lot -Distinctly high-walled with split toe -Tannery bought from Hermes Bonus: Seiji McCarthy -Bespoke commission -Hand made in Japan -American-inspired -Several thousand dollars ¹ London Suitmaker Anglo Italian offers a C&J variant called the Unley, which is also within the LHS x Harvard orbit. Refined further with a daintier vamp and more sloped, slipper-like

@DavidLaneDesign You should try John Lobb. They have plenty in stock. Go with the Lopez or James (unlined). Classic & timeless

The suede loafers from Anglo-Italian are excellent. They’re made by Crockett and Jones on their city sole which handles all types of surfaces well. Of course they are sold out at the moment, but they do restock often. Unley and Studridge shown below.

@dieworkwear 💯 All wonderful choices. Great advice. The Lopez from John Lobb Paris is $10K bespoke. Probably about the same from Lobb London + 20% trump tariffs.

If you plan on wearing the loafers with tailoring, then Edward Green's Piccadilly (slide one). It has a beautiful shape — not too aggressive in terms of styling, but just the right amount of sleekness for a tailored jacket. Can be made unlined or lined, on a single leather sole or the company's R1 rubber sole. I prefer the company's more neutral browns, such as the espresso brown pictured in slide one, rather than warmer "mink" suede, which will clash with the cool tones that typically dominate a tailored wardrobe. If you mean a penny loafer you can wear with casualwear, then Alden's Leisure Handsewn in suede (slide two). Can be worn with jeans or chinos. If your style leans very trad, then tailored trousers, as well. The rounder shape here will feel more at home with jeans and fatigues. Or chinos, if you're a chino guy. If you want something to wear with more contemporary outfits, then JM Weston's 180 (slide three). They look great with jeans or tailored trousers, a tailored jacket or tweed topcoat. The high side walls are very distinctive. JM Weston's sizing system can be very confusing, so it's best to order in a store where a sales person can fit you. Unfortunately, the company shuttered their only US location (in NYC) a few years ago, so best purchased in Paris. Finally, you can also go bespoke. At the moment, I currently like Seiji McCarthy, who made the first pair of shoes in slide four. Since these are bespoke, they can made from almost any leather you choose (including suede). Seiji has different tiers of bespoke and made-to-measure with differing levels of handwork, depending on your budget and preference. The round toe loafer in slide four is one of his newer loafer models. It's good if you want something that feels like "elevated Alden." I also like Nicholas Templeman, who made the second pair of shoes in slide four. Having worked as a lastmaker at John Lobb (of St. James Street in London, not the Hermes' owned ready-to-wear operation in Paris) for seven years, he carves all of his lasts from rough turns (a large block of wood). This means he's not limited in terms of shape. He can effectively produce any style you wish, such as the John Lobb Lopez inspired loafers pictured below. I think Nicholas has a great eye and can execute a great pair of shoes in the West End tradition.

Your wife will either breathe life into your home or suck the ever-loving soul out of it. This will manifest in her choice of interior decorating

For timelessness, quality, value and elegance; John Lobb without question. Their creative designer Joachim De Callatay is the best. The toe box of the Lopez has been admired since the 1950s. I would go see Paul on Madison Ave and get a bespoke pair. The James is also good if you want elongated.

In the market for brown suede loafers Have my own inclinations, but curious to poll the room If money were no object, which pair would you buy?

@stephenasmith Savage

See……this is the B.S. I’m talking about. This is a disgusting thing coming from our Commander In Chief — especially about a VETERAN and PURPLE HEART recipient. #DamnShameful!

@alecttrona From the Amish?

@dieworkwear 💯. A dress watch may have been a bit better if someone wanted to make a suggestion.

Robert Mueller was one of the last well-dressed men in Washington. Soft shouldered suits with white button-down collar and foulard ties. Wore his watch on the underside of his wrist, as a holdover from his military training. One of the last to carry that classic American look.

@jakewoolf 💯 the Johnstons of Elgin fin cashmere Polo in the different colors is my go to. Goes well under sports coats.

Spring style take: Knit polos have been getting all the attention the last couple of years—I think it’s time we all remember that the humble piqué polo is truly peak I wrote about the one that’s clearly the best of all time AND rounded up 12 more solid options Link in bio

@gietzschean 💯

Not your average gentleman

@GuillermoMena @dieworkwear It’s the John lobb victor. Refined sophistication with reversed stitching (hard to do) and a seamless back.

@LtColWeaver @dieworkwear I like those

the aesthetics are incredible. cigars and crystal decanter with japanese whisky. black dress shirt, tight suit, two-toned double monks, and tie bar. arne jacobsen egg chair teamed with a studio backdrop with a car inexplicably inside the room. a 12 yr old's idea of masculinity

For timelessness, quality, value and elegance; John Lobb without question. Their creative designer Joachim De Callatay is the best. Their saddle calf loafer (1st photo) is made from Hermès Barenia leather (same as Kelly bag). It will develop its own beautiful patina over time. Sorry, probably more than you asked for :)

Who makes the best penny loafers?

@dieworkwear Let’s see how the lean and not so lean look in the same style cloths.

here are eight men. the first three, shown in the first slide, have lean and athletic body types. the others are not so lean. of these four slides, which do you think look the best?

@alecttrona Haha. My go to is the Johnstons of Elgin cashmere hoodie.

Same principle can be applied to any cozy, soft knitwear/sweater

The reason girls love men wearing hoodies so much is because it adds an extra cozy, cushioning layer to hugs. We automatically associate it with better cuddling performance

@dieworkwear 💯. My John Lobb derby shoes (with a shoe tree) were $9,350 not including tariffs. Hand carved last and hand welted by a heritage firm by 6-8 master artisans that have 30 years of experience in their area.

Shoes on left cost $250; shoes on right cost $5000. People who fit fine into left will still pay for right bc of how they were made. Right shoes were handlasted, handwelted, and made from a last carved from a rough turn. People with knowledge & discernment will pay for this skill

i don't think that's true. factory-made ready-to-wear tailoring has essentially been perfected. and yet people still value a fully benchmade tailoring produced by a tailor. this demonstrates people care about humans being in the process.

@Dea_rBoss I prefer to wear basic color socks as to not take the focus off my elegant and classic John Lobb shoes or well tailored Kiton jackets.

Your socks don't have to be plain and boring

@KJP No. Unrefined. Unpolished. Go with the John Lobb Bath shoe. Sewn by hand from one piece of leather.

Thinking about bringing back these basketweave boat shoes I had made in Maine in 2015. Time for a revival? ⚓️🌲🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

@JakeSherman Can you please give us a score card of the positions of the committee members?

If Rand is a no and every other Republican is a yes, Mullin would need a Dem to support him to get out of committee and to the floor. Fetterman has said he would support him.
