post #26356 of 32046

Just pulled the trigger on a pair of carminas. If you go through my post history- i have been wanting these for nearly a year and finally just manned up.

 

And ps- great tie Jas. I think i will have to put that on my evergrowing wish list.

Thanks and congrats on the Carmina's. Are they the brown captoe robert lasts? I'm wearing them today. They are easily my most verstale shoe. Make sure you get metal toe taps put on, mist of the mister minits can do it or take them out to the Manuka Cobbler, who strangely is based in Fyshwick.

Thanks- I got the brown punched captoe on the simpson, Was going to ask you about toe taps- looked for info on them yesterday and found nothing. 

 

Its my second big shoe purchase (have a secondhand pair of g&g). Depending on how i like the carminas i might get another pair.

I'll also admit to owning a pair of EGs. Lovely shoes,not sure if they're worth the premium over other options these days.

 

Thanks Plestor.

I love the C&J's Sydney loafer. I have got them in brown calf (and am wearing today) and would love them in suede too. Think I missed the Herringbone sale on them....unless anyone knows different?

I think my next shoe purchase is either them, Carmina string loafers or a pair of Common Projects Achilles (though still a little unsure on the sizing).

I've only started wearing a PS regularly reasonably recently, and I notice that the breast pocket on my PJ suit is covered by the lapel to some degree, as opposed to Don Draper as shown here where the entire pocket and therefore PS is exposed:



Now, I'm sure that the Don has a much broader chest than me, but the pocket still looks pushed over towards the sleeve a lot more than my own (and maybe a little lower).

Is this something you can request from the maker? What do you all think of this look v. the PJ look where it's somewhat hidden? I didn't even go with the wide lapels option on my PJ - I imagine even more would be covered if I had?

*edit* See jason's fit pic. above for an example of the covered by lapel look

Congrats on the Carmina. The Simpson last is tricky.  My wider feet prefers the Rain. Did you get it online?

Of course if knits were hand made you could do customizations.

Lachy styling would be one thing but i'd say it's mainly to do with that my lapels are wider more than anything, same with PJ.
