It seemed like a great fit: bench made English shoes from a company with a long and storied history, classic styling, and excellent service. A perfect fit for the DC elite.
Sad to say, the DC location has since closed.
Why? just because someone makes a ton of money doesn't mean they spend money. Especially on men's shoes.
Most of the guys I've worked with over these last few years (six figure salaries, nice cars, few obligations) dress terribly. No one in DC cares. Triple pleats, poorly cut polyester suits, and frayed ties rule the scene. Exceptions remain few and far between.
Regardless, I'm glad I got to pick up a few pairs of shoes that will, in all probability, outlive me.
