[...] Suppose you’re heading to a rock concert, but you just can’t bear the thought of wearing a collarless shirt. Attus Apparel might have just the solution. They make semi-destroyed polo shirts with thrash-worthy logos, such as a long-haired metalhead and a mohawked homage to Sid Vicious. For the truly extreme, you can even purchase the polos once they’ve been blasted with a shotgun, which gives them a deconstructed look reminiscent of these shoes. [...]
I thought the asymmetry was beautiful, like a constellation. Thanks for posting.
Perhaps an ideal gift for the US Vice President, no? To be worn post-quail hunting.
Eep. The shoe is beautiful, but the random buckshot pattern . . . shrivels my bum. Makes me clench my teeth. Randomly mars an otherwise beautiful design and piece of leather!
Very interested in buying the buckshot brogues in navy size 9.5/10can you tell me where and how much.
