    Nice look at the Van Gogh last here from Justin Fitzpatrick:

    @apd90700 I’m sure the people you work with, know, and care about also care about you. But do they really care how you dress? I feel like the people you’re close to can sometimes be the worst to ask for an honest opinion just because they’re inherently biased towards you. You may interpret the...

    Interesting how you care so much about what others think when you’re “using fashion as a tool” but don’t care at all about others’ opinions when they don’t (in your opinion) have the proper credentials or whatever. Can’t you just focus more on what you yourself like? I doubt anyone would really...

    Back to the more interesting topic… As with most things, I’m sure some businesses believe in never holding sales while others believe in holding sales ALL the time. It’s just a hunch, but I’d like to think the most successful lie somewhere in between. I’m sure for even the most rigid and...

    @apd90700 For what it’s worth, I went back and read everything and everyone I’ve seen has tried to be helpful and patient when addressing you. I see you’ve also been patient with them even when you didn’t like to hear what they had to say. With your current trajectory in this hobby, I’m sure...

    Now hold on there, I’m actually curious about this now. Is the problem here really customers constantly chasing deals? Or is it businesses running too many sales to the point where they’re dependent on it? Or is it something else entirely like third world countries flooding markets with cheap...

    Summer loafers: with or without socks?

    I imagine if this poll was administered on a forum with more women we’d be seeing a far more sockless skew. I think one hangup for some men (and some women) is the view that sockless loafers can look a bit effeminate on men. Or at least that’s what my wife tells me whenever I try it ?‍♂️

    Oof, this thread has gotten kinda cringe lately. On the topic of chasing deals; I don’t think there’s anything wrong with buying things on sale. But if that’s all you do then I guarantee at some point you’re going to end up with stuff you don’t need and possibly even buyer’s remorse. Just...

    Archibald London Hand Welted Shoes - preorder issues, discussion,and resolution.

    @George Mason Sorry that my post made you upset; not my intention to make anyone upset, but rather to point out that if a positive behavior is shown then it should be reinforced just the same way that a negative behavior should be called out. Several of us have derived a great deal of...

    Archibald London Hand Welted Shoes - preorder issues, discussion,and resolution.

    Thanks :fistbump: I do appreciate the elaboration of your viewpoint though. Focusing on personal enjoyment over being too OCD is a healthy way to look at things. If we focus too much on all the features and minutia we “need” before we can be satisfied then we give rise to this notion that one...

    Archibald London Hand Welted Shoes - preorder issues, discussion,and resolution.

    Don’t get me wrong, I think they’re fine and I like the way they look. Isn’t that what I said initially? In regards to the rest of your post, I do agree there are many people who have unreasonable expectations when it comes to shoes, and leather products in general. I personally feel it...

    Archibald London Hand Welted Shoes - preorder issues, discussion,and resolution.

    Here’s a pair of Meermin cap toes I bought a couple years ago: I’ve kept shoe trees in them since the beginning too. It’s fine though, and honestly within my expectations. It’s still made with a beautiful French calf leather, but obviously their clicking is more geared towards high yield...

    Archibald London Hand Welted Shoes - preorder issues, discussion,and resolution.

    People are just glad that customers are getting some kind of resolution since everyone was kind of fearing the worst. Of course no one has forgotten all the bad stuff, but there’s nothing wrong with a pat on the back for doing the right thing.
