    RM Williams Boots - Everything You Wanted to Know

    I like the leather too, only I've developed heel problems and need the extra cushioning now. BTW, Steve has responded to my email (already) and ordered the Comfort model for me. Too bad its a MTO. I've got to wait a couple of months again

    RM Williams Boots - Everything You Wanted to Know

    No, they don't have a padded insole. Same insole as my other Craftsman. The box they came in is marked "MTO Elastic Sided Whiskey Yearling" B542Y.07FGCW09. That's what's on the invoice as well. However I kept a copy of the web order and it does it says- Product Code\t \tNTB543Y\t...

    RM Williams Boots - Everything You Wanted to Know

    Sorry if this was discussed in the previous voluminous post. I just got my second pair of Craftsman. The first pair (Kangaroo craftsman), I picked up in Oz. This pair I ordered from Steve Nungar. I ordered the Comfort Craftsman. I was under the impression that by ordering the Comfort model, the...

    Gordon Yao

    I had suits made by both Chan and Yao in January. Both were excellent quality and service. Prices were comparable (1400 for Scabal at Yao, less for Zegna at Chan). First fitting on Monday, suits were ready on Thursday/Friday with fittings just about every day. Personally, I prefer the Chan...

    Touring HK Tailors and Fittings

    I use ascot chang for shirts and they tour 2 times a year. I prefer their shirts than ww chan since ascot has a ton of fabric selection. The bad thing about ascot is that they have a 3 shirt minimum and the total usually goes into the $400-500 range. One measurement is all it takes and the...

    Just got my first WW Chan Shirt!!!

    I got some shirts at Chan's and some others at Ascot Changs in HK recently. AC shirts were very good. Chan's were perfect.

    Good value fabrics for suits?

    I just got a navy Scabal pinstripe from Gordon Yao and a solid grey Zegna trofeo from Chan. I'am satisified with both, though I prefer the Scabal hands down. Have to compare how they wear.

    Best RTW brand for sloped shoulders?

    You can 'adjust' the slope of your shoulders, through exercise. I know I have. This has made a big difference, in the way I wear jackets. Otherwise, as others have stated before me: decide which route you want to take: either to allow the slope of your shoulders to rule, or to pursue artificial...

    RM Williams Boots - Everything You Wanted to Know

    Sator- Thanks for all the work. I have a pair of Kangaroo Craftsmen. (9G) I understand you suggest sizing up 1/2 in length and down a letter in width. Does that rule still hold for the SF Model in yearling or veal? (I should order a 9.5F) Can you confirm as I think I read somewhere in this...

    Tailor in Hong Kong

    I am having something made at Gordon Yao at Royal Garden Hotel in TST. He was recommended to me by another very discerning gentleman. Will report back after fitting. Do you have the finished product? We've been holding our collective breath. Also, does he always take a month? My timeframe would...

    Buying cloth in UK to take to HK?

    I'll be having a suit made by WW Chan, and possibly another one by Gordon Yao when I'm in HK. As well as possibly a separate jacket. Since I'm flying from the UK to HK, is it worth it to buy the cloth in the UK in terms of price, selection and quality? Any suggestions on where in London to go...

    An Impossible Shoe?

    Yes in AUD. Yes he ships to Sydney. Yes if you buy 2 pairs you will be able to claim back GST at the airport on the way out. Sator, Thanks for all the information and work on this you've done. I try to avoid having things shipped to me in France. Customs here can be a real stickler. I bought...

    An Impossible Shoe?

    Last time I looked on the Nungar website they were there. They have more Chelsea boots than you can poke a stick at. Check out the bottom of the first post in the RMW thread. Buying online is the cheapest by far. Are the prices quoted in Australian dollars? I have to assume so, since it doesn't...
