First Impressions With Morjas Shoes

  • January 24, 2018

From my experience most people seem to have a love/hate relationship with tassel loafers. For me, it’s taken being exposed to quite a few great looking pairs over the last…

  • Maiden voyage of the @beckettsimonon Velencia wholecuts, big shout out to them for sending me this pair to try out in person. My first experience with their footwear and also with a wholecut. . They are a great fit apart from the facings not quite closing further, which should settle and close better once the insoles give a bit. Again, I keep going back to how nice the color is, they really nailed the versatile burgundy here. The finishing was quite excellent other than a small blemish on one foot that looked like maybe a slip up with the edge dressing. As far as the leather goes it’s only ok, but we’re talking about a $199 price point so it’s hard to not get overly critical of it. The leather looks like it will polish up well and is a great color. Would it be worth stepping up to something with higher quality leather in hopes of a better longevity or creasing?, that’s kind of hard to say on a maiden voyage. Maybe the extra $50 for a pair of Allen Edmonds factory seconds could be worth risking, tough call. . There is some solid value here at the $199 price but you do have to wait the 3-4 months to get that because of their business model. If you have time to wait and you find a model you love, you’ll find it’s worth pulling the trigger. . . . #beckettsimonon #coverbookstyle #dailylast #rakish #rakishgent #classicmenswear #stylishmen #menstailoring #stylishgent #madetobeworn #styleforum #mensshoes #mnswr #shoeshine #shineyourshoes #shoegazing #ptoman #shoegazingblog #shoesoftheday #shoestagram #mensweardaily #menswearblog #shoecare #sprezzatura #sartorial
  • Still the king jacket of the season imo 👑. Looking forward to the fall drops though. @spiermackay @e.thomas1922 gun check paired with @vandafineclothing pocket square, @japanbluejeans high tapered 601, polo also from @spiermackay. .

  • Winding down on what has been a wonderful birthday! Spent some amazing time with my wife and got to see The Meg 🦈 and eat tacos 🌮. Couldn’t have asked for a better day. I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend as well! . . . #berwick1707 #leatherhealer #coverbookstyle #dailylast #goodyearwelt #rakish #rakishgent #classicmenswear #stylishmen #menstailoring #stylishgent #madetobeworn #styleforum #mensshoes #mnswr #shoeshine #shineyourshoes #shoegazing #ptoman #shoegazingblog #shoesoftheday #shoestagram #mensweardaily #menswearblog #shoecare #sprezzatura #sartorial
  • A closer look at the color and last of the @beckettsimonon Valencia wholecuts in Bordeaux. I think the color is incredible. From the web pics I thought they would have more reddish undertone but I love them as is in this sort of hybrid burgundy/brown shade. The color actually reminds me a lot of brown chromexcel if you are familiar with it. . Will break these out for a maiden voyage next week and give my thoughts on the fit and how the style works with my current wardrobe. . . . #beckettsimonon #wholecut #coverbookstyle #dailylast #goodyearwelt #rakish #rakishgent #classicmenswear #stylishmen #menstailoring #stylishgent #madetobeworn #styleforum #mensshoes #mnswr #shoeshine #shineyourshoes #shoegazing #ptoman #shoegazingblog #shoesoftheday #shoestagram #mensweardaily #menswearblog #shoecare #sprezzatura #sartorial

  • Thank you all so much! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 #15000 🎉 . Now that I’ll be making my way to 20k I was thinking about what I should do to celebrate when we get there. Does anyone have any ideas? Should I do some sort of giveaway? Maybe another #burzanhands contest with @ascotshoes? . . . #spierandmackay #aldenarmy #berwick1707 #cavour #herrstil #myrqvist #propercloth #paulevans #lofandtung #skoaktiebolaget #tlbmallorca #meermin #horween #cordovan #shellcordovan #privatewhitevc #drakeslondon #gazianogirling #kentwang
  • Hard not to love this pair suede Adelaide’s from @myrqvist.se @herrstil 👌🏻. . The color is wonderful for casual use, the suede itself seems very high quality and has the perfect length nap to compliment the style. Fit wise I did have to go up a half size from my normal size, but that was recommended by @myrqvist.se and was spot on advice due to the narrow last. It’s a comfortable fit sized up so I have no problem with that, though I was given that advice via email and it’s not noted on the site (it probably should be). The last is an absolutely wonderful shape. I think it paid off for them to keep the last’s sleek in exchange for having to alter your size slightly. . Now, to my one issue with them... they squeak like crazy when I’m walking around in them. How am I supposed to sneak around the office if everyone can hear me coming down the hall 😂. I think it may be coming from the footbed, which should hopefully resolve itself in time as it’s settles with more wear. We’ll see in time. Have you guys experienced something similar before? Did it go away? . Paired here with my favorite linen socks from @kent.wang, and my @japanbluejeans high tapered 601 denim. . . . #myrqvist #herrstil #coverbookstyle #dailylast #goodyearwelt #rakish #rakishgent #classicmenswear #stylishmen #menstailoring #stylishgent #madetobeworn #styleforum #mensshoes #mnswr #shoeshine #shineyourshoes #shoegazing #ptoman #shoegazingblog #shoesoftheday #shoestagram #mensweardaily #menswearblog #shoecare #sprezzatura #sartorial
