A man's silk necktie and his polished shoes are the two usual light reflecting elements in his dress. The advanced dresser substitutes a matte necktie for a relective one from time to time, and may don light absorbing suede shoes as another change of pace. 
One unusual variation on the suede scene is the black suede oxford, as worn by both Cary Grant and Fred Astaire. During the day its light absorbing qualities add a discreet touch of the unexpected.
In the photos, A Suitable Wardrobe's beautifully shaped version of the black suede oxford, as executed by Gaziano & Girling. By special order, $1,050 per pair with metal toe taps and shipped from Nevada so there's never any sales tax. Email will at dynend.com for more information.

Nice shoes, but the socks are the standout item for me!!
Where did you get them from?
Outstanding black suede caps Will, no doubt.
The mix with the zig-zag sock is wavy, yet right.
I have worn suedes with pinstripes all of my life (long enough) but never black, which I have reserved for drivers, because I felt that a fine black suede was just too difficult for me to keep looking good. Of course, the better the suede the easier the brushing, so a proud owner of these spectacular shoes would have years of happy brushing ahead.
Very nice and unexpected post.
The socks are Marcoliani.
