    How to wear linen shirts?

    It's wedding season soon and I am looking to update my summer outfit. Most people at my friends' weddings wear 2 pc suits with a tie. When it's too hot, I have pretty bad pain and itching due to a medical condition, so "toughing it out" no longer works for me. I recently discovered linen shirts...

    Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread 2016 - News, Pictures, Sizing, Accessories, Clothing, etc

     I went to a high end shoe store and the gent there measured me to be 8.5. However, looking down, I saw that my toes ended at around 9. The results were interesting because I have never worn shoes less than 9, although most of my shoes were around 9.5 and 10, with sneakers sometimes at 10.5...

    Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread 2016 - News, Pictures, Sizing, Accessories, Clothing, etc

    Can anyone help me out with figuring out the translating sizes from the 5 last (PA) to the 1 last (Dalton)? I've only tried 9.5D and 10D while wearing thin dress socks due to limited stock in my area. 9.5D feels quite snug, but since I only tried it in the store for 5-10 min, I don't know...

    Sutor Mantellassi: conflicting information on sizing

    Unlike other shoes that I've read about, there seems to be conflicting info on the sizing of Sutor Mantellassi shoes. Since I don't have the information on the last for the Sutor, I really don't have anything to go on. I compared the boots that I wanted to get with my Carmina Oscar, and...

    ** Quintessential Crockett & Jones Thread ** (reviews, quality, etc...)

    RM Williams Boots - Everything You Wanted to Know

    I wear Carmina 9 in Oscar, and Allen Edmonds 9.5E Park Avenue. For whatever reason, the Craftsman just doesn't seem to agree with my feet. I tried everything from 8 to 10.5 in G and H, but the part where the boots start to taper puts a fair bit of pressure on my pinky toes. Oh well, with the...

    Carmina or RM Williams boots?

    @Wonka: really? Are you referring to the entire line of RMW boots? I probably won't change my opinion of them based on what you said, but I just wonder why you think that. Not rugged enough to do real work in them yet not dressy enough to wear with a suit? @Lapel: I'm aiming for the RTW stuff...

    Slim/skinny jeans with Red Wing GT, IR, and Wolverine 1k mile

    From the photos which I've seen, it appears that the GTs are a bit chunkier than the IRs or the 1k's, and hence, less compatible with slim and skinny jeans. Is this assessment correct?

    Carmina or RM Williams boots?

    I've narrowed down my choices for dress boots down to these 2 brands. The cost between the two, including shipping, duties, and taxes should be comparable. What about the quality? From what I've gathered, they seem to be on par, except RMW has more options. I am able to go to B&M shops to try...

    Are these shoes Blake stitched?

    That's what I thought, given that I've seen cheap shoes with stitching that seems to be more decorative, or worse, purposefully deceptive. And I have yet to come across a guide that explains how to identify the construction of the shoe without taking it apart.

    Are these shoes Blake stitched?

    I have a pair of Chelsea boots and a pair of wingtips which I'm guessing are Blake stitched. The assumption is based on the price I paid for them, although I know the two don't necessarily correlate. Chelsea boots: only the inside and outside have stitches. None can be seen on the bottom...

    The Ultimate Toronto Thread

    I was at the Bloor shop today too! The cap toe Oxfords are definitely there. They did feel a bit different than the Park Avenues which I've tried a few years ago (at the time, they were still labelled as such). I wanted to purchase a pair of lightly used ones on eBay, hence the question. I did...

    How often do you wear your most expensive item?

    I'm going to assume, right off the bat, that you spent a lot of money on an item that's also likely to be your favourite, be it a watch, shoes, or suit. Chances are, you want to wear the item everywhere, as long as the situation is appropriate. Yet, with this much use, you're exposing it to safe...

    The Ultimate Toronto Thread

    Does anyone know about the Allen Edmonds "Bloor Street" at Harry Rosen? I think they're just AE Park Avenues with part rubber outsole but I thought I'd get someone to confirm.

    Should I keep these Prada boots?

    I bought a pair of Prada boots, but I see that there's a lot of Prada bashing here, so I thought I would try to ask for some advice about whether or not it was a good buy. It was retailing for CA$950, marked down to CA$370. The styling is simple, so I think it will last me for years to come...
