    Clarks Desert Boots

    Just got a nice pair of Clarks DB in Amber Gold. I had to size down from my normal size (I'm an 11.5 in F, but the 11 in an F was fine), but the Euro size is what I normally have. The sizing is weird! :(

    Is there a limit on the amount of resoles you can have?

    I agree, if I'd been told that I could have had toe plates fitted and they'd still have refurb'd the shoes and the correct level of wear before sending back then I'd not have sent any back for refurb yet either. Ah well, you live and learn! ;)

    Is there a limit on the amount of resoles you can have?

    You answered the right question :) It makes sense that they can only do the refurb a limited number of times, just a shame they don't state that anywhere. :(

    Is there a limit on the amount of resoles you can have?

    I've just read that some manufacturers limit the amount of times that their shoes can be resoled by them (Church's are apparently four times and Barker three). Is this true, given that I can't find a manufacturer that states this publicly? If so, does anyone know why and are some manufacturers...

    Tweed tailors - UK

    I'm looking to get a harris tweed coat made for me (being 6'8" pretty influences my decision there!). I'm likely going to have to do this online, so has anyone got any experiences with the tailors offering online services in the UK? I do want the coat to be made in the UK, and I'm budgeting...

    Any fashion advice for the tall man?

    I'm 6'8" and can still ind some stuff to fit although my height comes from my legs so its a pain to get clothes to fit. I get my shirts from Charles Thyrwitt (38" sleeve), my jeans from Hiut Denim (custom fit as I have 39" legs) although I only have 11.5 in shoes. In the states, you appear to...

    Classic dress watch for £2-3k

     Not a bad choice, you asked about Stowa earlier. I rate them with Mühle I'm terms of quality and you could look at the Marine Original, or an even better choice is Wempe (a Zeitmeister is a great option).

    Oris bc3 or Sinn 556 a

    Both are independent, with unique styling. IIRC the Sinn's use an elabore grade ETA-2824 automatic movement, whereas the Oris uses a Sellita. Both are pretty much the same VFM proposition, so go with what floats your boat as a watch should make you, and not someone else, smile. Personally, I'd...

    Uneven heels

    Thanks, that's what I suspected; but it's good to get this opinion given that I've just came into this arena.

    Uneven heels

    Thanks, the key I guess is if it will make any material difference to the heels and the wearing of the shoes? I pronate, so the wear is on the other side, if it's not going to make a mechanical difference to my walking or cause the sole to come away due to the heads of the tacks being there...

    Uneven heels

    Thanks, looking some more, the issue is with the polishing of the heel on the right shoe. The heads of the nails have been polished off. Which is different from the one on the left shoe.
