    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

    Nice! Looks like dark brown? Their tobacco and chocolate are lovely, too. I ordered suits in both their navy and forest green.

    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

    Cheers, guys - I've a suit made from W. Bill linen already, and one on the way from Dugdale Bros; I'll give Maison Hellard a go for a full suit (and yes, their patterned linens would make lovely sportcoats!)

    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

    Has anyone had anything made up from the new Maison Hellard linen book? Wondering how it compares to Solbiati's Art Du Lin.

    The Official Carmina Sizing Thread

    Forest is bigger in the ball/toe, and MUCH bigger in the heel. I've just bought Uetam in a half size down from 325, and it's working nicely.

    The Official Carmina Sizing Thread

    I've just bought Forest loafers in UK 10, and there's way too much room in the heel (toes/ball/instep are fine). I wear UK 10 in C&J 325 (a little too tight in the toe, and too wide at heel) and 363 (good fit all around). Which Carmina last/size would suit me best for loafers?

    CAVOUR Official Community - Discuss Tailoring, Shirting, Shoes & More - Official Affiliate Thread

    Prices in GBP are ~40% higher than in NOK for a pair of boots I'm looking at. It says it's Delivered Duty Paid - I assumed there'd be no duties; is this a post-Brexit thing?

    I've a custom polo coat in their light-brown Casentino wool on the way. Had to go with size 46 in order to be able to wear a size 44 jacket underneath.

    St. Crispin's Appreciation Thread

    Thanks! Seems the quest for a well-fitting loafer will be a long one!

    St. Crispin's Appreciation Thread

    Thanks a lot for the help; I'll speak with Mr Car, and see what he thinks about a loafer as a first pair.

    St. Crispin's Appreciation Thread

    Thanks for the feedback. These'll be my first St Crispin's. I plan to visit the boutique in Vienna, and get fitted in person. I've got very wide and short feet, with high instep and Morton's toe (ie. big toe shorter than index); with one foot about a size larger than the other... not great for...

    St. Crispin's Appreciation Thread

    I'm interested in the personal last, particularly for loafers. Would it be risky to commission loafers for a first pair (I've very peculiarly shaped feet)? Perhaps it'd be wiser to iron out the custom last first on something more forgiving, like a chukka boot ?

    Suitsupply NYC

    I had the same issue: if you want to wear a jacket underneath, size up on the coat.

    UK prices are about 30% higher than US.
