    Meermin Mallorca Shoes

    Some more measurments from Meermin: Quote: So it sounds like given my Quote: I should be an 8.5 Rui and a 9 Hiro (or possibly an 8.5 Hiro, as Zapasman hinted at above)? Not sure why Meermin suggested a flat out 9UK, not even mentioning a last.

    This is helpful, thanks. You're saying the Hiro is less wide than Olfe. I was always under the impression that the lasts in the picture below went from the most narrow (left) to the most wide (right). Your saying this is not necessarily the case? I guess I need to decide whether I want to...

    Meermin Mallorca Shoes

     Thank you. I think I *might* fit into a 9uk Olfe,but it would be quite snug. My main concern would be the width. I'm not getting any heal slipping in my 9.5 olfes, but the length of the shoe feels long. I guess I'll send them an email.

    I like this idea too, but not for the summer.

    Preferred casual leather shoe style to wear with jeans?

    Thanks. Lots of suede recommendations here,,, not something I previously considered. Isn't suede a bit more finicky than plain leather? Non-flashy workhorse is definitely what I'm after though.

    Preferred casual leather shoe style to wear with jeans?

    Over the last few years I have slowly started wearing more denim pants. I've been trying to hone in on what I think is a good look in terms of footwear. Sneakers work for me, but I am trying to find something a little more adult. I recently picked up these but I am finding them to be a...

    I recently had a blazer shortened, but now I think it's too short. Can it be re-lengthened?

    Glad to hear it, thanks! I am driving myself nuts trying to get the proportions right for my wedding. Is the shirt sleeve length good too?

    Can my suit jacket sleeves be lengthened if my tailor has already shortened them? How much longer should they be?

    Help with my sleeve cuff length (for my wedding)

    Thanks for your input. How much too short are the sleeves in your opinion? 1/2" ? 1/4"? Is the sleeve length of the barrel cuff shirt correct? Can my jacket sleeves be lengthened if my tailor has already shortened them?
