    The Wide Fitting Shoe Trading Post (EEE / G width)

     How much would it run? I would possibly be in for a monk or a chukka Btw, I've been looking for something in cordovan with some broguing. Anything between an AE strand and a longwing derby would be cool, any color but black. I wear an 11.5 EEE (H) or 12 E (G).

     Where can you buy them? I have used fiebings because it is the best available to me. If you could point me in the right direction to pick up some of this stuff I would be grateful. If posting that here is against the rules, please pm me with the info. Thanks!

     Sure I started by stripping with acetone. Just wet a rag, wipe them down and repeat until the rag is coming off noticeably cleaner than it started. You may never rub with acetone and get nothing off, but you'll know when you're at a point of diminishing returns. The important thing is...

     I like them. They look almost like cordovan. I spent a while playing with dyes, using diluted solutions of fiebings oil saddle tan and walnut and burgundy, then realized the pebble grain doesnt absorb a lot. After applying a few layers, I wiped it down with acetone to pull off anything...

    Ths is a pair of vintage florsheim imperials I picked up off the bay. I got em cheap so I thought it would be a good opportunity to experiment. I have been lurking around here for a while (and this thread in particular) so I thought I'd share this Before After

    WTB brown shell cordovan shortwing derby 11.5 or 12

    I am looking for a pair of shell cordovan shoes. I would prefer a shortwing derby, but I'm somewhat flexible. I'd like either longwing or short wing or a boot.ccI wear an 11.5 eee or a 12e-12eee us, or 11h - 11.5 g/h uk. If it's on a last, like the barrie, that runs wide, 12d is ok. I'd also...

    I am a 12eee inan AE 678 last (with my own custom orthotic). Will this translate to he same size in an alden trubalance? If not, is there any other maker to look at?

    BLACK FACED WATCH FOR COLLEGE GRAD AND FUTURE BUSINESSMAN?

    I second Sinn, but they are a tad pricier. A little less expensive would be Frederique Constant. He makes watches that are similar in style to a patek Calatrava (although not in the same league, of course)

    Translating my shoe size from one maker to another?

    I'm looking to get my first serious pair of shoes. I tried church's and found that in a consul, I am a 12g. (I wear an insole). In an allen edmonds I wear a 13 3e in the benton. Now, how do I go from that to other makers to figure out what will fit me? I liked the church's a lot, but I've...
