In general, yes. But for me it would also depend upon the nature of the brogues. In spring and summer I like to wear footwear that reflects the lighter weight, structure and colors typically worn during warm and hot weather. So while suede in general is by its nature more casual in appearance and well lends itself to the season, if the brogues were super heavy duty country walking shoes, perhaps something by Trickers, intended for the field, I'd find their heavy duty aesthetic at odds with other clothing for the season.
Thank you. These are by Alan Payne, I purchased these as a pair of versatile beater loafers and have been surprised they have held up really well after 2 years.
May I ask, how did you get the plantation crepe soles? Are they sticky?
Several years back Alden of Carmel offered a special make-up they were submitting to Alden for a leather lined, sand suede Chukka, fitted with their (Alden's) leather tipped, plantation crepe soles. I was lucky enough to get in on that deal. In the early days of wear, as I recall, the soles were tacky on the bottom, but those days are long past. I see them as the ultimate desert boot!
