    Buying my first suit

     As a fellow Canadian (Toronto) who was in your situation several years ago, I'll give this a shot. It's definitely possible to have in-expensive, somewhat-low quality clothes while looking great. The most important factor for you will definitely be how well your garments fit on you. To...

    Absolute cheapest source of Allen Edmonds

    Interestingly enough there is a a retailer of the AE strand here in my small city in the middle of Canada. The 100$ over the AE web site price the local retailer had was fair, once I add in shipping and border taxes its likely a wash. BUT... The local retailer did not have my size and if i have...

    Shaving Shoe Trees?

    I have a couple of split-toe shoe trees that stretch out one of my shoes near the top of the vamp. Would it be feasible to manually shave off about 2 mm from a third of the shoe tree? I could either do it manually with some really coarse sandpaper; I also have access to a machine shop, if that...

    Banana Republic Online Returns Question

    Coincidentally, I had this inquiry last week. In short--yes, you can return Sale items as long as they don't explicitly say "FINAL SALE" in the item description. I bought some Gap jeans on sale a few weeks ago and I talked to one of their customer service reps. Since Gap and Banana Republic...

    Quality Issues (Allen Edmonds Bayfield Boots)

    Thanks for the replies! I wasn't sure what to be expecting for my first AE purchase, so I really appreciate the advice. Based on everybody's replies and my own opinion, all the minor defects don't appear to be a major consideration--with the exception of one. I was wondering about the cut shown...

    Quality Issues (Allen Edmonds Bayfield Boots)

    Hello everybody, After taking a look at various threads, I've decided to introduce myself to Allen Edmonds, which is quite the step up from Spring (for any Canadians out there). Since the customer service at my local Harry Rosen is pretty terrible, I ordered a pair of Bayfield boots directly...
