Barker Black on Gilt

Yesterday, the Gilt Group started its annual pre-Thanksgiving Day "Men's Final Sale". Over 50 brands are featured at up to 90% off.

I was lucky enough to pick up 2 pair of shoes from Barker Black. I spotted the Wallace X Lace Up during a recent trip to the Barker Black store in New York city but I couldn't bring myself to drop the $800 required to leave the store with them (legally).

Lucky for me Gilt Groupe had them for $150

Designer Derrick Miller used to work as a tie designer at Ralph Lauren, but he turned his attention to dress shoes a few years ago when he resurrected the English-bred footwear label Barker Black. His smart shop houses these English bench-made shoes, all of which bear the label’s skull-and-crossbones logo on every sole—providing what Miller calls a “fuck you” quality.

I'm not sure that's a good quality to have but I guess when you look that good you can be a bit of an ass.

Make it an Outstanding Day!
