    Proper Cloth - Official Affiliate Thread

    I had Luigi help me with shirt measurements in December of 2022. I thought he did a pretty solid job. I've had a few adjustments done since then. However, that's because (1) they started doing the shrinkage allowance after that (which has been it's own issue), and (2) my weight has fluctuated...

    Also, and I forgot to put this part, I think it's Barrie with that modification.

    Carmina Shoes - Definitive Thread (reviews, advice, sizing, etc...) - official thread.

    As I understand it the “ethically sourced” hides are the results of and sold to fund conservation efforts. The only thing I’ve heard of that’s in the “completely forbidden and banned” category is sea turtle. There are vintage pairs out there made of it but if you show up in the wrong place...

    Hippo. I see you're a fan of the Madison location. Thought that was a nice store but the 45th street location had a very different selection of lasts. When I visited Madison had mostly the dressier lasts and makeups. 45th had more boots, casual options, and the "friendlier" lasts for my...

    Carmina Shoes - Definitive Thread (reviews, advice, sizing, etc...) - official thread.

    A small laugh for the Carmina crowd (which I'm not even remotely bothered by or upset at, in fact I'm happy with the customer service I'm receiving). Got an email recently letting me know that they ran out of the skin/leather for my order and are trying to procure more. They don't have an ETA...

    Carmina Shoes - Definitive Thread (reviews, advice, sizing, etc...) - official thread.

    I'd like to say that my initial website-based order resulted in an email before shipment. These days I order through a store and I get an email and/or phone call letting me know the store got them (to inspect them) before they come to me.

    WTB: Tan Filson Bags - Talon/YKK Zips Preferred

    Are you still on the hunt? Anything specific you’re still looking for? I’ve got a tan 236 I could part with.

    The Alden Buy, Sell, Trade (B/S/T) Thread

    Bump. Looking for $600 shipped for the package. Willing to accept partial trades of similarly sized non-Indy boots.

    THE 2024 ALLEN EDMONDS (AE) APPRECIATION THREAD

    Shoe trees are one of those things that reminds me how bad inflation is. I remember getting basic shoe trees for 10-12 a piece back in 2018ish.

    THE 2024 ALLEN EDMONDS (AE) APPRECIATION THREAD

    I shouted a loud profanity just now. Fortunately the house is empty. That'd look amazing on a Higgin's Mill. If the Park Ave derby (or something similar) is offered I'll have some hard choices to make.

    The Official Alden Thread for 2024 - Share Reviews, Sizing, Advice, and Photos.

    That’s not normal. That’s shoddy work. Some people may think I’m overreacting but if the welt looks like that I’d be questioning the quality of the rest of the work.

    Man, that looks so much like some bourbon shell I've seen and owned. My amaretto stuff is much more orange.

    Same. Wife and I are both fans (and she's not much of a movie watcher).

    THE 2024 ALLEN EDMONDS (AE) APPRECIATION THREAD

    My hope there is that it's not hatchgrain burgundy. I know some people would get excited about it but lots of makers use hatch color 8.

    What Movies Are You Watching Lately

    Saw the Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare in a mostly empty theater. Quite entertaining. I don't know what it is but somehow Guy Ritchie has become one of my favorite directors. He just keeps turning out movies I enjoy.

    THE 2024 ALLEN EDMONDS (AE) APPRECIATION THREAD

    Random question. Patton boots. What lace length do ya'll tend to go with when/if you replace them? Trying to find some rounded laces as a replacement and curious what your recommendations or personal choices where.

    Proper Cloth - Official Affiliate Thread

    The shrinkage issues I've had were kind of all over the place. I've also had a few that were just nowhere near spec no matter how you "account for shrinkage" but they stepped up and took care of it. The worst offenders have been the low twist flannels and a few chambrays.

    SPIER & MACKAY - Official Affiliate Thread

    They absolutely did. I've been "down" on Spier for a while and haven't made a purchase in quite some time. This season has me thinking about making a purchase or two (out of several I'd have jumped at before).

    THE 2024 ALLEN EDMONDS (AE) APPRECIATION THREAD

    I feel as though they’d have to do a number of things if they wanted to even attempt to justify higher prices on calf offerings. One would be production quality in general. Have that line produced by one of the English shoemakers maybe? Second, the super soft lining they had in the...
