    A Sam (and David) Hober Tie Appreciation Thread

     That brown Macclesfield tie at the bottom of the first picture looks fantastic. Too bad it does not seem to be available anymore. Would look great with a navy suit.

     Nice. Is the brown one on the lower right the Macclesfield 135?

    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

     Anyone else have any experience/views on whether a fresco mixed with 30% mohair (like the Minnis 0577) wears warmer than an all fresco fabric?

    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

    ^ Thanks. Too bad that none of the all frescos come in the same mid-blue color as the 0577. I suppose I will go for the 0520, even though I would have loved it to be of a somewhat lighter hue.

    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

     Been searching this thread for views on the above mentioned fabric - ie Minnis Fresco 0577, which is a mix with 30% mohair. Does anybody have any experience on whether this wears warmer or as cool compared to other fresco fabrics?

    Meermin Mallorca Shoes

     I have tried to speak to UPS, but I just got fed up with being connected to an endless number of people where none could even remotely explain the basis for this charge. I simply don't have the time or the energy to fight this, so I bit the bullet and paid up. Depending on how Meermin will...

    Meermin Mallorca Shoes

    I got a very unpleasant surprise from UPS on my latest order. Whilst the US duty import rate is about 8%, UPS now request me to pay a brokerage fee which represents a whopping 43% add-on to what I have already paid Meermin for the shoes. So for an order of $424, I will now have to pay an...

    my visit to Napoli & Mina @ Napoli Su Misura

     Haha. Im not sure, but I think my legs have a pretty normal shape, so perhaps my stance is a bit odd :) Im not unhappy with the length of the trousers, as I prefer minimum break. All opinions and personal taste of course. Agree about the rear part.

    my visit to Napoli & Mina @ Napoli Su Misura

     I probably was a bit too hands-off, as I really liked what I had seen from them before. I mentioned some of the points at the second meeting, but was told I should wear it for a while to decide on any changes for the third fitting.

    my visit to Napoli & Mina @ Napoli Su Misura

     I agree. I wanted to show about half an inch of shirt cuff or so. Hopefully it can be fixed.

    my visit to Napoli & Mina @ Napoli Su Misura

     No. Whilst I like the Naples shape, this was not really what I had in mind.

    my visit to Napoli & Mina @ Napoli Su Misura

    I will soon have my third fitting. Im not entirely happy with the fit. Obviously the sleeves are way too short. Also not really happy with the flow in the midsection. Same goes for the thigh area, or the shelf in the back. The trousers are a bit too wide over the waist, which means that they...

    When is a Shoe Tree too big?

    Often shoe trees does not come in half sizes. So if your shoes is size 8.5 - should you buy a shoe tree in size 8 or size 9? Of course you want it to just stretch out the creases, but not to stretch out the shoe as such.

    Meermin Mallorca Shoes

     I would also be very interested how the sizing of the Meermin Vil last relates to CJ 348 last.

    Thanks. I suppose I should do that too then.

    Gaziano & Girling Appreciation & Shoe Appreciation Thread (including reviews, purchases, pictures)

    Does that apply to all lasts? I own a couple of CJs in the 348 last (Westbourne/Lowndes), size 8.5. I am now looking to buy a pair of GG Gable in the TG73 last. Question is whether I should go up half a size or stick with 8.5? Based on the article linked below, the sizing translation may not...

    Buying Santoni online.

    Cheers, guys. It seems like the amount of models available online is much better in the US. It´s just that the shipping costs (plus VAT and customs) to Europe usually being quite hefty.

    Buying Santoni online.

    Does anybody know of any European online retailers selling Santoni shoes? I´ve only been able to find US retailers so far.
