Tina read your comment Mark, smiled and said: "Now there's a connoisseur." You probably guessed that she made my shirt and trousers, but she also suggested a hat change. "The cream coloured hat compliments the entire outfit," was her advice.

Thank your wife for her kind complimentary remarks, i appreciate them. My shoes are hand made, I have known Colin ( https://www.colinjohnsonshoes.com/ ) for many years. When we first met is lost in the mists of time, it was probably at some festival where he had a stall selling his shoes.I should also tell you that a couple of weeks ago my wife walked into my office when I was catching up on the lounge, and your picture was on the screen. The thing she noticed immediately was your shoes! I showed her a couple more of your posts. She said she was impressed, and that they look very high-end. She doesn't make comments like that unless she's sincere - especially about shoes.
I remember telling Colin that shoes were a problem for me, my right foot being fractionally bigger than the left. "I can make you shoes to fit," was his boast, and he has been doing so for many a year.
It was bespoke shoes that got me into bespoke hats. I met a milliner from The Susquehana Hat Company at a similar festival to that of Colin. Following that meeting a unique hat block was made and Susquehana have made nearly all my hats. Gamble &***n bought out Susquehana, but nothing has changed, the new company carried on making bespoke hats as well as ready made, so I contact Gamble & ***n for my hats nowadays.
