      This, especially the LV boots, is more conspicuous consumption than permanent style. As an Englishman I thoroughly disapprove.

        No you’re right, the FT pieces aren’t really Permanent Style. They want fashion and trend pieces, unlike the HTSI columns.

        Perhaps I’ll leave those out in future

      Simon,
      There’s also a french company called Heschung that makes fantastic boots. I have a pair of ginkgos which is one of the company’s classics and a fabulous boot that’s works well in the city and for a country walk.. The two other models of choice for me are the zermatt,which is fully shearling lined, and the puccini. The leather is incredible which ages beautifully and the design is outstanding.

      Please print this disclaimer: Do NOT NOT Not use any of these boots for actual backpacking or “hill walking”. Go to a genuine outdoor outfitter for real boots. The boots shown are fashion statements only, and serious use may result in injury.

    Yes, I wouldn't advise the tobacco as a remotely formal option. For that I'd suggest, navy, dark brown, and then dark olive

    Perfect winner for this acknowledgment as far as video e-commerce. Wonderful interview especially with the conversation’s logistics. Just received something from the Armoury and got done helpful advice as to sizing from Mark in a chat. That is customer service.

    Yes, the pebble grey, though also grey in general. Grey is really nice with casual clothing, I find. It's often better with jeans than navy, for example.
