Guys,
I am not by any stretch of the imagination a fashionable guy. I have been wearing the same t-shirts since college and its jeans in the winter and khaki shorts in the summer. So I am completely out of my element here.
My Papa on the other hand is a snappy old italian guy who used to be dressed to the nines at all times. Almost every time I see him he tells me one story; the story of his pink and black suede shoes. He loved those shoes and had to sell them because my grandma would not be seen in public with him when he had them on. He often jokes that he should have gotten rid of her instead of the shoes (they really do still have a great marriage, I swear).
I have been looking sporadically for years to find a pair of shoes that match his description to surprise him with. This was probably towards the 40's or early 50's so I am looking for something that looks vintage in pink and black suede. I know some of you are into vintage clothes and I was hoping somebody had a lead. Any help is appreciated.
