    To Boot New York Boots - Brown Leather - Great with Denim!

    Hi all - I'm cleaning out the closet and selling a few pairs of shoes. For sale here is a pair of To Boot New York boots in a rich brown leather. Brown doesn't quite do the color justice as they have a hint of burgundy. These are stylish, sturdy boots with a buckle accent. They go great with...

    Hi Carlito - it's Alex from the Corthay Vendome's. Based on what you're selling it looks like you may be in Atlanta. If so, I will be there next week and could deliver the shoes in person. However, I'm leaving tomorrow morning so I would need to know tonight. Let me know. Thanks!

    Corthay Vendome Wingtips - 002 Last - Ebene Suede

    *** PRICE DROP *** Originally posted for sale in 2011 and I haven't worn these shoes since. They have sat in the back of the closet in original box. I've worn these maybe 4-5 times total. I totally forgot about these but recently moved to San Francisco and came across the box during the move...

    Vass vs. Alfred Sargent "Handgrade"

    After seeing all the sweeet shoes on the Vass Appreciation thread, I decided I needed a new pair of F last suede Adelaides. I sent Kolecho an email and was just about ready to roll but as I was looking for a picture of what exactly I was looking for I came across a picture of these new Alfred Sargents...

    Bespoke shirts in SF

    Fly to Houston, go to Hamilton and get fitted. It's a one time expense and you can order from them online in perpetuity. Relative to some of the EU options, I also think they're a great value.

    Is gingham spring/summer only?

    Or does color/shade ultimately decide which season is appropriate? Would a darker blue gingham be ok for fall/winter?

    Alligator strap for vintage watch

    Celini has an extensive selection of Camille Fournet if you're in New York. ABP is probably better suited for something custom, which is doesn't look like you are looking for.

    Alfred Dunhill Classic Vs JLC Grande Ultra Thin

    No question - JLC. At that price, I would also consider IWC. Or better yet - go vintage.

    english shoes quality heirachy

    Great thoughts on English shoe hierarchy. I'm wondering how you all would change your lists if you ranked them in terms of value? At what price point do you start to see diminishing returns? To me, $500-$700-ish feel about right, i.e. your paying at least twice as much for EG than C&J but...

    Tailors in Hoi An or Hanoi

    Don't waste your time or money. Enjoy the food and the beach. I've had suits made in Thailand and Vietnam and they don't hold a candle to HK. If you must, there's a tailor in Ho Chi Minh City - Cao Minh. You could have some passable shirts made there. I spent a month in Vietnam before...

    C&J unlined suede 'Chukka' on the 200 last

    Does anyone here have experience with that last? I have the C&J 'Chiltern' chukka on the 224 last and know that I'm a bad fit for the 348 last, so no Tetbury for me. I also have the 'Chelsea' on the 238 last and shoes on the 341 and the 318 lasts. If anyone could compare the 200 last to any of...
