Strange thing is that the colour on the site is alright, nothing brilliant, but the colour in real life, as shown above, IS brilliant!

 

Check the link below for the "dark brown" version of the shoes I ordered:

Nice... although I actually prefer that dark brown colour! Good to know anyhow that their dark brown isn't very dark. I wonder what their light brown looks like.

Any chance of restock of scarves? got the camel scarf and love it. Wish i got the olive check now as well.
Also, are you very sure you won't be doing MTM shirts? Even Kent Wang's shirts are not slim enough for me.
Btw, how strict are you guys with following the "rules" that SFer's tend to follow? i.e. can't wear a shirt and tie without a jacket. Honestly, its too hot in Oz to wear a suit other than autumn/winter. I just sweat by the time i get to work.

I say meh to the rules! I think its far better to remain relevant to your situation rather than trying to apply generic, cold climate rules to your situation. Cant make a circle fit a square!

That said, there are ways to wear jackets in summer. Lighter weight material or more open weaves. Linen is great.

Alternatively look at the construction of the jacket, go with less lining/no lining, less padding/no padding etc.

I think the consensus is that the colour I got is not the same as shown on their website.

There seems to be two browns coming from Meermin and it is a bit of a crapshoot as to which one you will get unless you are very specific with your ordering instructions.

I was being facetious perhaps inappropriately. Maybe what you say is true for the Shoe Care thread but I just went through the last 10 pages of this thread and I don't see that. In fact, most of the shoe talk I do see is about shoes the members themselves own (aside from that whole AE Park Avenue flare up about four or five days ago.

In any case (and I'm not trying to be funny here, just genuinely asking), what would you like to discuss or see discussed?

Seeing that you've been part of the forum since 2008, I wouldn't be surprised if 99% of all the stuff we talk about is a repeat of previous posts. I've seen this in nearly every forum I've frequented.

OK I'll bite. What are they and where can I find them? :-)

I've gone from shoes to shoe horns - I think that signifies regression  Those shoes are by Carmina for Epaulet.
