The Belgian Shoes store in NYC. They also have a website! I hope that helps
I’ve had a very in-box messages about my New Years resolution. The no new clothes one. I am happy to say I’ve kept my pledge up to this point. It hasn’t been easy. Getting those sale emails from Press, BB, The Andover Shop… Watching prices on items that I’ve kept my eye on fall like the Asian stock indexes. It’s taken a level of willpower I have never exerted in regards to my spending. I feel like I am getting the hang of it though.
Whatever you, dear reader, have been trying to control this year… I pray you also find the power to stick to your plan.
I get a call today from a store in Palm Beach notifying me that the cashmere blackwatch tartan sport coat they ordered for me has come in.
A few points to think about.
1. This wasn’t custom made for me, I wouldn’t back away from a commitment like that.
2. It’s not really a stock item, they had a batch made up and they already sold the 42r. I expressed interest in it this past September so they made another one up.
3. I didn’t leave a deposit.
4. I can back out, but they may get a little peeved especially if they don’t sell it his season.
So am I breaking my vow of no new clothes or do I get a pass because it was technical ordered last year?
