"CLAYTON" BY MARTIN DINGMAN

"Clayton" - Martin Dingman - $525

Martin Dingman's terrific loafers are hand-lasted and hand finished in Italy, providing a wonderfully sophisticated take on an American classic. The soles have a rubber-injected center perfect for Seattle weather, and the welted edges allow you to resole the shoe without changing the shape of the upper.

NEW STYLES BY MARTIN DINGMAN

Top - Chaney - $475...Bottom - Chesterfield - $495

For Fall 2012, Martin Dingman has re-invented their shoe program, moving its production to a factory in Italy. The resulting styles are more sophisticated and better constructed, featuring full leather linings, rubber-injected leather soles, and hand colored piece goods. We've brought in the best of the collection, this great lace up, which is a medium brown color called "Scotch," and an elegant ankle boot in a deep cherry-brown shade called "Bourbon." Intoxicating, aren't they?

MEN'S LAYDOWN - CASUAL YET DRESSY

Dressing better than you have to doesn't necessarily mean being uncomfortable! Butch Blum has many options that read dressy, but are as easy to wear as your PJs. We have terrific wool and cotton knitted sport coat options that are cut & sewn into casual styles. No rule that a wool pant can't be soft and comfy - try a 5 pocket style.

Many people ask us how suede can be a year-round material for shoes. Provided the shoe has a rubber sole (like these do), suede is easy to weather proof and requires no polishing - if you scuff your suede shoes a wire brush will have the material looking fabulous in no time.  These new styles provide an AMAZING value and are a great dressy/casual shoe for a Seattle guy's wardrobe!
