    I immediately thought of Jacob NightHorse, but that may be because I am watching Longmire... again.

    No.
    So, who's going to start the bespoke shoe thread? Clearly a trip to London for your proper custom wooden last is required. After a fitting for an array of silk suits in Hong Kong which must of course match the Aston Martin as well as the handgun to be acquired.

    I think we were all waiting for Old Larry to do it. But actually when one considers spending $1000 on a pair of bespoke dress shoes that could conceivably last a lifetime with proper care compared to spending $20K++ on a watch that doesn't tell time more accurately than a Timex quartz, I think the shoes don't seem too extravagant.

    $1000? Hoi pollio.

    Business class to Heathrow and a few nights in London will rack up 10x that.

    Besides, Larry wears loafers.

    My bespoke shoes, somewhat different than what you’re getting at but still…

    Who made the lasts?
    I hope you started by choosing the handgun, then the Aston Martin before the trip to Hong Kong for the suits and finally the shoes.

    Lasts for huaraches? Formed from bones of drug war victims?

    These, sir, are not a proper adornment for the foot.

    Heh. S&W .44 and Dodge Powerwagon, clothes by Filson, not bespoke, though I got smaller grips for the handgun.

    So you can return and they can make a new pair from the wooden lasts they'll keep for you until after you're dead?

    I'm sorry, you'll have to go back to the Aston Martin dealer to rectify your missteps.

    I'm mostly there for the boat shoes.

    And the gin.

    And the gin.

    Sheep hunting, you really need your own aircraft to find the twisters and tanks in North America. Especially the thinhorn sheep, who live way the fuck out there and so demand a lot of nonproductive scouting time and gobs of narcissistic gym time to pursue.

    You can skip a lot of the hard stuff by traveling the world after the great Pamir Argali, the Urial, the Tahr, the Siberian and Pyrennes Ibex... at $50k - $100k a throw, plus tips.

    Capt. Slowly is living up to his name.

    But I did thoroughly enjoy a video of him and Hammond getting smacked on international gin day, and Mr. Ryan Reynolds has sent Mr. May a bottle of his own gin, so it appears the post works better going that way then coming back.

    This is the kind of gentlemanly advice that keeps me coming back here.

    Also, didn't Bad Roo jump a Pyrenees Ibex?

    Clearly still reaping the benefits of gin on the gums as administered by an exhausted mother.

    I thought it was somewhere in the Alps. Alpe d'Huez?

    Dear Mr. May,

    You say that as if its an issue.

    Nah, that's where they caught Jesse James.

    Perhaps my delivery didn't convey the appropriate sense of viewing the activity as a mere (think French now) seasoning of life?
    My apologies.

    Same place?
