    That first scratch or scuff...

    I have had my eye on Church's Shannon model for quite a while. The only thing that has kept me from pulling the trigger is that the leather is corrected grain, or "polished binder" is how they refer to it. The style and leather I like vey much, but I have been told by shoe salesmen in the UK...

    The New Brooks Brothers

    So it's insane for me to wait a couple of months to buy that $140 shirt for only $70? I think insanity is the other way around, paying $140 for a shirt that you know you can get for $70 in a couple of months. Brooks Brothers did not become the bankrupt disaster that it is today because some...

    Right here in the good old USA. To be more exact, in the heart of Amtrak's Northeast Corridor.

    High end slippers advice?

    Quality Spectator Shoes?

    As one who also wears a EEE width, I feel your pain. I would check out the British manufacturers, particularly their made to orders and special makeups. I am sure that they could give you what you want with a good fit. The other well known European companies, such as Carmina and Vass are not...

    The Official Tie Thread

    I agree; 8 cm or 3.14 inches is the perfect width for ties. They will always look good.

    The Official Tie Thread

    A tie thread is a good idea. How wide are those ties? I ask because I like traditional clothes, with tie widths about 3 inches. I am not into narrow or wide ties.

    Shoe question

    I wouldn't be able to decide, so I would buy them both. And I would have no guilty feelings whatsoever. You would be doing your part to keep the economy going.

    How do you feel about spending money on non-essential goods during the Covid-19 crisis?

    Quoddy has had some specials in recent weeks as incentives to purchase. First they offered free shipping, then increased it to 20% off everything on the website plus free shipping. That offer was too good for me to pass up so I ordered my first pair of Quoddys yesterday before the offers...

    How many pairs of shoes do you own?

    I have a total of 41 pairs. 26 pairs are dress shoes. 15 pairs are casual shoes, which include my boat shoes and some casual boots from Thorogood. At the present time, I have no tennis shoes/sneakers. I'll be shopping for them this season.

    Review by '' on item 'Allen Edmonds Men's Malvern Boot'

    I own these in brown smooth calf. The quality of materials, construction, and workmanship is all top notch, which comes as no surprise to me as I own more than 20 pairs of Allen Edmonds. Dollar for dollar, you won't find a better shoe than Allen Edmonds. There is only one problem, and that...

    Polojock615, Was the color of the burgundy Leeds the same color as the burgundy MacNeil when you purchased them? If so, about how long did it take them to get that color? Did you use any special conditioner on them to get that patina? I ask because my MacNeils are now about 7 years old and...
