A joint effort from two of our favourite brands. Grenson, traditional shoe-makers meet Heritage Research, producers of some incredible vintage inspired menswear. This long wing brogue is made to fit slightly slimmer than a traditional model making it that bit easier to wear. It features calf skin leather designed to age with wear and use, waxed leather laces, Goodyear welted soles and a whole lot of expertise from two labels who know what’s up. END has them.

McNairy? McNasty? McNostradamus? McNasEscobar? Whatever you want to call him, his latest collab with Engineered Garments has just fell into Tres Bien. While we appreciate the wilder shoes at times, we do appreciate a shoe that can be worn in an office environment without raising too many eyebrows. Even the fact that the two shoes are different is a subtle detail you won’t notice until you stare intensely at them. And that’s something you can’t really do in everyday life, so we doubt anyone would notice at all. (Tres Bien)

And the list of blogger-ternt-retailers keep growing. Former guest blogger Start With Typewriters teamed up with the folks behind Sartorially Inclined and Getting Beat Like You Stole Something to create a new shop entitled Run Of The Mill. They’ve got some exclusive collabo’s in the pipeline, including these green suede longings created by Mark McNairy. We’re not usually that into longings but we’re big fans of these – the crepe sole is a nice touch, as are those laces. There’s no shortage of McNairy collabs out there, but this is definitely one of our favourites. (Run of The Mill)

New York’s Engineered Garments combined with Mark McNairy (he of New Amsterdam) for four shoes based on the longwing. They will come in black or brown. A full rundown of particulars and background on the collaboration available at ACL.
