    The Unofficial Spier & Mackay B-S-T Thread

    I’ve got a 16.5 x 34 red striped slim OCBD that I’ve worn 3 times but the sleeves are just too a bit short. This is the older red stripe OCBD on the website($45 non-bundle), looks a little less burgundy than the newer red stripe ($48 non-bundle). $20 shipped CONUS, PM me if interested and I’ll...

    The Official Thrift / Discount Store Bragging Thread Part III (Sept 2018-)

    I’ve seen quite a few posts lately with ID or confirmation requests regarding shell. I have this page bookmarked on my phone for the rare occasion I find shell in the field. Seems to be the most comprehensive list I’ve found: http://shellcordovanmodels.com/ Since I don’t find much other than...

    Vintage Dress shoe appreciation, tips, maintenance and advice

    I’ve got a pair of vintage J&M Aristocraft shell tassel loafers (model 24-1159) in size 12 C that are a little too narrow for me. The color is listed as Dark Cherry but it looks pretty much like Color 8. I don’t know if this is allowed in this thread but I’m trying to unload them and recoup my...

    Ask your shoe repair questions here:

    I was looking to get a pair of old Nettletons resoled, but I’m concerned about the piece of material/piping that is above the welt - it has torn off the welt in one spot and is not tightly attached to the upper all around the shoe. See photo for better idea. Is this something that can be fixed?

    SPIER & MACKAY - Official Affiliate Thread

    I placed an order on Friday for 3 shirts and have not received a confirmation email, I created an account while ordering and am unable to log in. This is my first time ordering from S&M - is it typical for the confirmation email to be a few days behind or is this due to a high sales volume over...

    The Official Thrift / Discount Store Bragging Thread Part III (Sept 2018-)

    Been out of the loop for a bit, caught up on the new thread and there’s some really great stuff lately. I live in a major military area, so I figure the odds of finding some of this good military gear might be decent for me, but I don’t really know much about it. Can anyone point me to a good...

    Vintage Dress shoe appreciation, tips, maintenance and advice

    Anyone know how vintage J&M crown arstocrafts fit? Eyeing a shell pair on the bay, I always thought I was a 13D, and in most modern shoes (like the crappy Cole haans I was wearing before I discovered vintage shoes and modern AE) I do wear 13 D it M, but with most of my vintage shoes and my...

    The official thrift/discount store bragging thread - Part II (May 2015 - Sept. 2018)

    Short haiatus from the thread, got real busy with work. Not that I'm a real contributor but I'm trying to post periodically and I love to follow the thread. Had some decent shirt fodder lately, mainly Robert Graham and Untuckit. Found a cashmere Brioni herringbone sport coat that I already...
