Hey guys, since I am not from US, I can not access usa.tommy.com site properly (I can browse it, but can not see which sizes are available). I would like to ask those of you, who live in the US, to check availibility of the shoes in the pictures below:

I am interested in the brown color - same as in the picture.

Also the brown color.

 

Best would be just to make print screen of the whole site, where I can see which sizes are available. Thanks a lot!

Quick Question. New Here and was just wondering what you guys think of Navy Lace Ups. What color suit do you wear them with and do you think its a viable option for a dress shoe or is it just a gimmicky color that doesnt really go well?

You mean like oxfords?

Regardless, navy shoes are definitely a statement shoe. Definitely should not be something you buy until you have a whole bunch of other more versatile shoes in your lineup. Black or dark brown shoes are much better for a dress shoe to be worn with a suit.

Yeah I just Ordered a pair of Harris Navy Blue Wingtip oxfords on sale at barneys because I never really seen anything like them. I currently own black brown and grey but thought these might stand out a bit but now im not sure what I can wear them with other than a blue suit. 

Hi there, what is the strip of fabric/ribbon that comes in the pants pocket of expensive suits (its about half an inch thick and maybe 3 feet long)? possibly expensive pants too? Ive had this a few times. Thanks in advance for the help.

 

It's hem tape to reinforce and weight the pant hems.

Been looking everywhere for this with no perfect fit: I'm trying to find a grey suede derby shoes with a standard, brown leather sole. Like bucks but with the kind of brown sole you'd see on a typical brown dress shoe rather than red brick or some other plastic looking thing.

The Grenson Finlay is a near fit but it has this odd contrasting trim between the sole and the upper.

Any ideas?

That's just a different style of welt, one that deals with foul weather better. You'll also see it on a lot of longwings. It's perfectly normal and appropriate for those shoes.

Thanks (hem tape)... Whats the best place (or places) to get high quality fabrics (for suits) for great prices in the nyc area?

When wearing brown shoes with grey pants should the shoes get lighter or darker as the shade of grey gets lighter?

I need two pair of cheap dress shoes, one in black and one in brown. I want to spend under $150 for both. What brands and styles should I be looking at?

My rule is that as long as the shoes are about the same shade or darker, you can wear whatever you like. So if you're wearing charcoal pants, only a dark brown would work, but if you're wearing dove gray, you can pull off really light tans.

How does proxying work? I see a 59.99 dollar shoe (on sale) that I like and if I send it to where I am in Canada there is 40 dollar shipping making it 99.99...I have a cousin in the USA...so if I sent it to him I wouldn't pay 40 for shipping...is this what proxying does? I don't know what happens after...how my cousin gets me the shoes afterwards with no shipping charges....can someone help me here.

I'm going on a first date with a woman and we agreed to dress up 1920s-style and go to a speakeasy. I'm trying to figure out what to wear and how to put together an outfit that's 1920s-ish but doesn't look like a Halloween costume. I'm thinking less Al Capone, and more Midnight in Paris. I'm open to buying a thing or two on eBay or Etsy but don't want to spend too much money, nor do I want to look like I spent days planning it. Advice?

Instead of buying 2 pairs of cheap dress shoes, buy one pair of nice ones. Regardless of the outfit you wear, shoes will make it break the outfit and one pair of nice ones are far better than several pairs of cheap ones.
