I don't know.....assuming the fit is good for you, you'll have a hard time resisting more Carminas...

BTW, I happened to get my pair of midnight calf Rands in today. They are as blue as they looked online. I was hoping that they were a little bit darker, but they are still awesome and I'm very pleased.

Some quick pics (please excuse the navy pants I happened to be wearing today. I'm not planning to wear these shoes with navy colored pants):

^Single monk style makes for a every elegant shoe. Enjoy.

Yup, that's correct. Carmina shoe trees are included.


We'll get the Napoli in caramel duck canvas pretty soon. After that, our Spring coats should come around late Feb, early March.


Thank you sir! You're going to love them - those shoes came out bangin'


Should be before the end of the month.


I'd recommend doing a special order for a 38 - either with factory finds or an in-season fabric. Matt can hook you up with that. Takes a few weeks, but the price is the same (and usually a bit cheaper with factory finds)


All the Rudies are special order now and we'll do the next round in about 3 weeks. We can definitely do those pants for you. The vests, however, are discontinued, so if we have your size or close to it, we can get that for you.


We made some a while back, but we dropped them from the line. There's a few remaining in our sale section.

Hey guys,

Quick note: Adele and I are in Italy for the Pitti show this week. I'll post some pics and tales each day. Can't wait for it!

If you need anything urgent - especially things like order cancellations and address changes - please call one of our shops during their opening hours (12:30-7 tues-sat, 1-5 sun) and the dudes can take care of it for you.

The navy monks look great!

Gentleman,

Sorry if this has been discussed recently, but do you prefer to sew cuffs on your Rivet chinos or simply roll them up. I *think* that I prefer rolling.... I think. Headed to the tailor shortly!

Thanks,
Todd V

^ Not really rolling -- more folding. But in any case not sewn for rivet chinos.

 

And, of course, the real thing for Walts.

^I either wear my Rivets unrolled or roll/fold them up to keep them casual. Walts I actually wear uncuffed (ha ha ha).

Today, corduroy factory finds Walts, EP Navy Label shirt, and Carmina ruby shell



I really like the Navy Label fit. Sleeves are perhaps a touch long, but this I haven't washed the shirt yet. I'll see how they feel after that.

Just want to state for the record that you and Adele have clearly chosen your career paths wisely. Enjoy and say hi to our friends at Carmina from all of us.

Navy Monks are ridiculous. Bravo.

I'm not sure if I or anyone else has asked this question earlier, but wanted to move up in the shoe game and get my first pair of Carmina's. I'll preface this by saying that I work in a casual tech setting as a statistician and am able to wear anything to work as long as it's not sweatpants. I tend to wear the typical business casual outfits, though I'll occasionally throw on a blazer and tie. 

 

So, given that, my question:  What pair of Carmina's should I consider to purchase for my first pair? (need something versatile)

 

 

I'm hoping to purchase in a couple months. My NY resolution was to save more and not make impulse purchases so I'm gonna have to hold off for a while.

Personally, I like any of the shoes on the Forest last. I think the last bridges the gap between tough and sleek as well as any other, and does well almost effortlessly what Alden's Barrie last tries so hard to do but just can't. If you like a little quirkiness, go with the Navy calfskin, otherwise brown chromexel is an excellent choice that can work with almost anything.

I just grabbed the navy boot and its sweet. Reminds me of a pair of Doc Martens I bought (plain toe) on St Marks Place when I was 16. I loved those effin shoes, and now I love these...

Today:
Cramerton Cloth Chino
Navy Label TM Shirt
Carmina Navy Boot

is that a drake's cashmere tie? i have a drake's cashmere tie that looks exactly like that in both blue and gray.

^^ All kindsa blue NYR! Nice.

 

I agree with NYI on the last and leather. I'd probably go with the Alt Wien Semi-Brogue Captoe Brown Chromexcel as it'll go well with your more casual outfits. It'll also minimize snarky comments from less sartorially-inclined coworkers that you might get for some of the dressier make-ups that Epaulet offers.
