    Thank you for the advice. I'm afraid that I will never ever take the risk to be a Weston customer again. There are many better option on the market now.

    I'm afraid that happens to other very famous brands; It happened to Church's when Prada bought the company. Lower quality anf higher prices. The fix this error 4 or 5 years ago after ten years of poor quality. I happened to Berluti for few years when LVMH bought them. Quality is back now, even...

    Just go to Carmina they have the same model and the construction is far better. If you use the "customise" program, you can choose exactly what you want. For the model on your picture, it shoud cost around 500/550 €. It would be at least the double at Weston...

    JM WESTON quality and service ???

    OK, I will as soon as my shoes are back. basically, there is a cut in the leather on the side fo one shoe where the foot is bending. It could happen. The worst part is how Weston's Customer service deals with that... I do agree that Weston used to make very good shoes. Back in time...

    Dear All, I'm a fan of MTM shirts with 50+ shirts in my warbrobe. I've ordered to Luxire one shirt last spring. Everything was fine but creases on the front. It happens on a first shirt. For the next three shirts, I've asked Luxire to consider my sloped shoulders and my bent back to...
