Actually, funny you should say that. The night before I went to the store, I was going to order them from Zappos and all the feedback said "shoes run 1 size too large".

The width is perfect. Anyway, I purposely bought one size lower. That's what you should have done. They are perfect!

sygyzy love the pumas

I picked up some loafers, denim on the sides and dove grey leather on the top all the way to the vamp with a brown heel.

Not the prettiest things around admittedly but they look decent enough, are comfortable as hot weather lightweight shoes and are decent as driving shoes, too!

Hey John11f, welcome. Have you used the SC detergent yet? I still don't perfectly understand what to do with the denim treatment----soak the jeans in it after the wash???

 

[John11f]

thanks ddml. no i haven't bought them out of impulse. as you may well know, i have yet to break in most of my jeans. i figure i won't be using these detergent in a long while.

 

[denimdestroyedmylife]

Well, I don't plan to use the detergent for a while myself------it should take my some time to decode the Japanese instructions....

I remember your vast collection, by the way. You have some work ahead.

Anyway, having that detergent on hand is a nice security blanket-----it eases my mind when I'm hiking sloppy trails or mucking about in the city.

I got them at a place in town (Santa Barbara, CA). They have a darker brown too. It's not exclusive to the store. They are just Modern Amusement x Sperry. You can get them from Barney's or the MA website.

I LOVE those Poells. Do you have a motorcycle?

I hesitate to buy motorcycle jackets without having a motorcycle, though that doesn't stop me from buying trucker jackets and trucker wallets.

haha everyone in korea asked me that (all the leatherworkers i bought leather goods from for people on the other SF were bikers) and they would show me pictures of their harleys and them on their harleys. so i would have to answer- no i don't have one... yet.

anyway, this wouldn't be suitable for a motorcyle- as LA guy ranted about (i think it was him) this is made of thin butter soft lamb suede. if i fell off a motorcycle in this the jacket would probably disintegrate. but... the ladies will love the texture

trade offs eh?
