Whoa those are the caramel dub monks? They look brown! Would love some close up pics so I can see what kind of aging I have to look forward to with mine.

FYI - Matt distressed his shoes recently (used some different polish I believe with some other techniques) thus the color is not a fair representation of how these will look with further aging. He posted the process with pictures a few weeks ago I believe.

I received the Peat Marl Caine sport coat this week. The fabric is fantastic, and I think it fits me pretty well straight off the rack:

Loving my Faulkners. When will we see more suede options on the forest last? Something in a short or long wing please. Light colors preferred!

Just received my first pair of Rivet Chinos and a few thoughts...

1. Customer service is PHENOMENAL. I ordered a 33, then decided a 34 would be a better fit. I sent an email requesting that my order be changed to a 34. Adele responded in 30 minutes (no exaggeration - sent the email at 11:12 and received a response at 11:42). My request was accommodated and I still received my order in three days...with free shipping. You guys deserve a lot of praise for the customer service.

2. The pants are equally phenomenal. The construction is fantastic, cloth is high quality and still comfortable.

3. Question - do any of the Rivets (i.e. certain fabrics) fit just slightly looser? The 34s fit nicely, but they're very slim on me (baby got back). They still fit, but I will also need some more conservative cuts for different occasions. Or, do the Walts (in equal size) fit less slim? The description on the website says the Rivets are slightly slimmer than the Walt, but the size 34 Walts are 12.5" in the thigh while the size 34 Rivets are 12.75" in the thigh. Any insight?

Is there going to be any sort of heavier winter coat coming out?

Bad day at the office. While looking for shipping boxes I dumped some leather dye on my Alden Indy. I know they are rough wear boots but I don't want them to go out like that. In a panic I went to wash it off and to my joy it was a dark cordovan color and not black like I though. They will be fine.
Man, I went right to my computer and looked up work boots. Epaulet's Thorogoods were the best looking ones that I found looked good and seem like they wont kill my back. I can't wait to get them to start wearing them in!

Walts are def the more conservative pant, with a bit more room. They have a higher rise as well. I also find the rivets are done in more casual fabrics, so it all works really well for what you're asking...go with the Walt, it won't disappoint.


Nice shots! What last are the pinks shoes on? ;)


LOL, thx, thats the LilGirl Last!
