Not on the feet of a prince
by CarolineWill at A Suitable Wardrobe asks bespoke shoemaker Tony Gaziano about patched shoes after noticing them on the feet of Prince Charles:
[Gaziano:] “To be honest it looks better on black which is ok because most of the guys that would have this done come from an era where only black shoes were worn.”
The problem with owning a rotating roster of not-expensive shoes is that they tend to wear out all at once. Bonding a patch to leather that’s paper-thin in the first place doesn’t accomplish much.
But the good thing about owning a rotating roster of not-expensive shoes is how I have one fewer thing in common with Prince Charles!
