Whoever he was he looked very well indeed and relegates me to the second loudest dressed man in Sydney - at least for today ;-)

* Don't try this at home kids. This is advanced level dressing recommended only for old dudes not young pups.

I need sunglasses just reading that.

These Vass are sick - i still want to get a pair - any tips on sizing/lasts? (I feel overwhelmed reading through the vass thread)

Aside from telling you I am a 10.5UK and wear a 45 in the F last, not really. I originally ordered a 44.5 based on the thread, sent it back as it was just a bit too snug. These are half a size larger, at 45, and seem to make all the difference. While snug, not painful, and have yet to be broken in. I love the narrow waist and heels of the F last though. Suits my foot well.

At Owen & James our return rate is sub 5% luckily because we dont charge shipping on the exchanged goods and for an international order I lose money sometimes

1. Thorough and accurate measurements on the O&J website
2. Great communications via email and PM plus the ability to accurately compare O&J fits to other brands
3. Clientele who take the time and care to actually ask the right questions and take note of the measurements

I guess its easier for us as we have a smaller range of clothes and its our own cuts (well actually our shirts are off the Sid Mashburn pattern)

Also we dont have the volumes that ASOS etc get so might be law of numbers.

Reminds me that our new shipment of popover shirts are in

Mid blue chambray, pink, white and pale blue. Im getting them photographed in the next week or so... ordered heaps because I sold out from one instagram photo last time
