    Grant Stone - Official Affiliate Thread

    Very nice, they look great! Which location do you usually go to? Would love to see that awesome cognac shell in boot form...say in the diesel or possibly a future captoe model.

    Grant Stone - Official Affiliate Thread

    No, I'm basing it off your fit notes, which if I had to make an educated guess would land you somewhere around a 7.5E Brannock (no way to really know though unless you get measured yourself). An 8D for boots would work because things like heel lift are less of an issue, and would also allow...

    Based on that information it seems like you’d either be a 7.5E or 8D. I’d say try for 8D if boots and 7.5E if bluchers.

    Grant Stone - Official Affiliate Thread

    I think all of the boot offerings would fare well being switched over to rubber. I would personally like to see rubber soles (and E widths) on the coffee and snuff suede LWB's as well.

    Will any of the upcoming rubber soled SKU be offered in E-width?

    Grant Stone - Official Affiliate Thread

    I would definitely rate Grant Stone's QC above Alden's. If I didn't already have an abundance of snuff suede, I'd be all over that pre-order. Still hoping GS makes a run of E-widths for their coffee suede LWB's eventually.

    Is there an ETD or any additional details on the rubber sole options?

    Meermin Mallorca Shoes

    We have similar feet (wide/high instep) and I also take a 7UK in the CS 234, which fits me comfortably. I own a derby and boot in 7UK on the Rui last, and I can say they definitely run shorter/lower volume than the 234. After break-in, I find the Rui to be a snug fit with thin dress socks...

    Work Boots: Safety Toes for a CM Snowflake?

    While it's neither a boot nor an end solution to what I assume you're after, perhaps something like this option from Red Wing can hold you over for the time being: http://www.redwingsafety.com/safety-boot/8701-safe-us/mens-oxford-black-oxford-black

    Dark brown dress boots

    I have no idea how much a pair of AE First Avenues go for in Denmark, but the first pair that came to mind were these from Quality Shop: https://www.quality-shop.com/eu/shoes/boots/carlos-santos-field-boots-in-grain-guimaraes-patina

    Brooks Brothers Non-Iron Royal Oxford Dress Shirt

    I'm not sure which exact shirt you're disappointed in. I own both of the shirts I think you're referring to, and have owned several BR shirts in the past as well (white shirts included). The "standard" $92 BB white non-iron isn't fully opaque, but I would not categorize it as "very...

    The Tie Bar - Grenafaux Tie

    I would definitely say the grenafaux is closer to mimicking grossa than fina. It does not look or feel like a real grenadine as it is a textured print and has a reflective sheen. However, with a wedding that needs to stay within budget, it will work. From left to right: Hober Purple...
