St. Crispin's Appreciation Thread - Page 15

Those were awesome, especially the shoe trees. Thanks.

So pretty.

sexy vids :)

P.S.

Hope you guys had a great New Years Eve last night; got kids so that's why I'm able to post :P

:) :) :)

Wow - I really find this fit pic and others posted to be fascinating. When in the be-spoke process does this typically occur? Is the fitter using a test shoe?

I was measured by Mr. Glasgow in NYC a few months back - they are building a balmoral that will accommodate my orthotic and I will have my next fitting appointment sometime in March/April. Given how tough I am to fit, I might benefit greatly from this process. Is this something I can request beforehand? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks... Mike147

Not all bespoke shoemakers do a trial shoes for fitting purposes.

 

JLP do, some Japanese makers do.  But both JL St James and G&G do not.  It's all about their house workflow.

 

Not sure about Cleverley, better to ask their opinion.

 

p.s., tough to fit is usually a RTW phenomenon; and cap toe is harder to fit than plaintoe/wingtip/etc due to the toe cap stitch/stiffening.

Jerry those are right fine!

Is that cordo or calf?

Thanks! Cigar shell.

Lovely, The welt stitching is great too.

By my estimation it should take you about 20 years to wear these into the ground. If you work hard at it.

Are those Alden's?

Nah. StC.

whatcha drinkin'?
