    RANCOURT & Co. Shoes - Made in Maine

    One further detail to pay attention to is the type of handstitch used on the moc. Rancourt *always* uses a half-boxstitch on all the hand stitches. What I mean is that when they cross the two threads, they twist them together once, like how you start tying your shoelaces. Other makers (like...

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

    It's often forgotten that shell cordovan is, counterintuitively, finished flesh-side-out. So while that may look like a tear, it might actually just be a non-structural separation on the flesh like you'd see on suede. It's especially likely since its not in a stress point, it's just in a flex...

    Ring Jacket

    That was helpful, especially that it doesn't have the armholes as high as the 254/253. That's one of the features of the 253 that I love so much, because they just feel like a perfect natural fit for my motion, without being tight in the chest.

    Ring Jacket

    I don't personally, but every measurement I've found has the chest about 10cm narrower than the 253 fit which fits me perfectly... has put me off even trying it.

    The best Oxford shirt

    Came across this question, and the arcane knowledge is: iron it while it's still wet straight out of the washing machine, and *then* hang dry. Night and day difference, vs trying to iron it after it's dried. I asked my cleaners how they get my OCBDs so perfectly pressed, and they told me this...

    The unofficial NMWA Buy/Sell Thread (a.k.a. second chance thread)

    What he said, though with some caveats. I have 3 Chamula handknits in an XL (I'm usually a M/L). 2 fit great, if an easy fit. My ivory one, similarly, is too big and has too big of a neck opening. Need to put it up for sale, honestly. The gold fishermans, and the brown turtleneck, both fit...

    Edward Green Appreciation: Pictures, Info, and Where to Buy

    My experience on EG sizing is that their labeled US size is 1/2 smaller than a true US size, and their UK sizing is TTS (corresponding to the official conversions of US - 1 = UK). So, for me, an 11UK/11.5US E fit is true to a 11UK E fit, and corresponds more to a 12D US Brannock measurement...

    Edward Green Appreciation: Pictures, Info, and Where to Buy

    I have 303E Rosewood veldt galways and 303E london grain newmarkets. Both fit amazingly, I love them. The 202E I find has a shallower toe box (vertically, so that my big toe feels like it grazes the top of the shop) but otherwise it fits somewhat the same. With my Galways, I do not have any...

    ٭٭٭ No Man Walks Alone - Official Affiliate Thread ٭٭٭ (a.k.a. I shouldn't have slept on it)

    I’ve mentioned this a couple times, but on the Rotas brooklyn and manhattan fits, a longer inseam or significantly longer allowance. Not enough with the usual length + allowance for an average guy to cuff, and my tailor had difficulty even getting a plain 30.5” inseam on one of the pairs.

    RANCOURT & Co. Shoes - Made in Maine

    In my experience with Rancourt, all the "wear for the stretch" guidance is wrong, if you have your actual Brannock size down. I'm a 12D Brannock, and I wear a 12D Rancourt in all fits. It's absolutely perfect, no heel slip while plenty of room in front of my toes, no stretching needed or...

    The way that Jamieson's labels/labeled things, that would either be a 36 or 38. 40 used to be L, now seems to be M, and 42 used to be XL now L. I do like to go with my actual chest size, so I'm an actual 41" and take a 42 Jamiesons's (and usually a 42R/52IT jacket) so that might also help?

    Can confirm that the numbers fit exactly like the numbers used to, even though the letters have changed. Wife declared "I don't like inside out garments" so the reverse Duke is going back, but the Duke vest is staying, and I'm picking up the awesome gray/brown/black fair isle instead. Also got...
