PSA (Torontonians and GTA): Holt Renfrew Last Call Barker Black - Page 2

I happen to like the cross bone bit.

The cross-bone bit looks good, I like it too.

I was in Toronto in August and bought these. I think I paid around $300 for them. Really fantastic shoes!

Checked it out earlier today. The guy said they only had the black brogues in 7UK/8US or smaller... not sure what happened to all of the larger sizes the OP mentioned. The brogue also comes in a two-tone brown which I think they had larger sizes in. Also had some oxblood oxfords in an 8.5US, which actually fit, but aren't what I'm looking for.

Wait a bit, I'm sure they will appear soon in the BS

nope, they were barker blacks

For those in Toronto who use public transit, here's info on how to get to Vaughan Mills Outlet mall,

someone plz proxy for me i can do a 7UK or 7.5UK

There was a 7UK in the black wingtips and in the black/oxblood wingtip specs. Same shoes but for the different color vamp. Do you want one? I can try next week.

Hey guys, thanks for the PSA. I was just there this afternoon and the pickings are slim at this point. The 7UK black wingtips are still there but for someone like me who is typically an 8US in most shoes (8US in AE 0 last) they were quite tight for my tastes. There are 2 Black / oxblood wingtips left in 9 and 9.5 US (or 2 of either one).

Other than these, there were only 2 pairs of the loafers with the XX crossbones (in grey and another colour I can't remember). There were about 3 pairs of these really ugly blobby suede shoes in a cream colour but I doubt anyone would go for them.

I was debating picking up the 2 spectators mentioned above but they do have some significant in store try-on wear on the uppers. Unfortunately I won't be able to make it up there for the next few weeks - hopefully someone can benefit from this info.

I almost bought a pair of Archdales in a very nice antiqued pewter last time I was there (@$350 - 30%) but despite how nice they looked and the great price, I decided I didn't really need charcoal grey wingtips

I believe they are gone now. They had a few loafers in different colors as well as the suede 2-eyelet bluchers. Sucks that the 30% off is gone though.

I was there yesterday. Remaining barker blacks included a pair of dark oak wingtips in uk 6.5/US 7.5 (my favourite), a few Suede shoes in mostly 8uk/9us, and a pair of white loafers in 9uk/10us. Prices were around $250 from $1000 with no further discount. Right now sweaters are 30% off (all prices listed below are before this discount). They had quite a bit of PRL cableknit cashmere priced around $170. There were a few nice colours including purple, gray, and cream. Also a beautiful Brioni 100% cashmere cardigan in Large (sort of a gray/olive colour) at $860 from over $2000. There are some plum Loro Piana shawl collars, but I wasn't overly impressed with them. My favourites that I didn't buy were a gray (Bamford I think) cashmere v-neck with white stripes around the collar, and a cream PRL cashmere hoodie. Both butter-soft. I think they were tagged at $400 and $200 respectively. At 40% off lowest tagged price were all sportcoats/blazers. There were a lot of beautiful 100% cashmere pieces by Loro Piana and Brioni. A few nice Isaia pieces as well. Prices before discount on the nicer pieces ranged from $600-1400. In the accessories section there were some beautiful cufflinks from tateossian's higher-end line marked down to ~$120 from ~$350, and some MOP collar stays marked an additional 50% off to ~$20 from ~$100. For the ladies, there was a rack 90% off lowest tagged price. Looked like it was pretty picked over, but there were still a few nice items in the largest and smallest sizes.
