    Bespoke shirt maker

    Just as an update as this has now apparently turned into a D'Avino thread?? I ended up going with 100hands through Chittleborough and Morgan, very pleased with the result and convenient that I don't have to go anywhere else when getting suits etc.

    Current state of Savile Row

    So, I finally have the finished article as I wasn't able to travel to London all that much so delayed the final product as a result. I would post the back but I don't think it really does it justice right now as there is a fair bit of creasing due to travelling (as with the shirt sleeves!). In...

    Gaziano & Girling Appreciation & Shoe Appreciation Thread (including reviews, purchases, pictures)

    Brilliant video, thanks for posting. On a side note, first spot of these lovely shoes since I was up at the factory. Cannot wait to get them in my hands again!

    Gaziano & Girling Appreciation & Shoe Appreciation Thread (including reviews, purchases, pictures)

    It depends on what work needs done, new sock liners etc. if needed. Basically can retain just the uppers if everything else needs something done to it. They essentially look like brand new shoes again

    Gaziano & Girling Appreciation & Shoe Appreciation Thread (including reviews, purchases, pictures)

    First off apologies for the rather long post... just some of my thoughts on a recent trip to the factory. I've just returned from a short sartorial trip to London (mainly for a forward fitting for a C&M suit which is always a dangerous trip with G&G across the street) and sad to be back to the...

    Rock Your Socks- show your sock, shoe & pant combos

    A few from this week, Carmina and Gaziano and Girling paired with Bresciani - it would appear I liked wearing the Carminas this week

    Thanks! Nothing special really just focusing on the toes, I did make a conscious effort to try and make sure that I feathered it as it went away from the toes though.

    Carmina Shoes - Definitive Thread (reviews, advice, sizing, etc...) - official thread.

    I find my heels aren't too bad, it's the loosest part but overall really pleased how lucky I am that they fit so well, only my Gaziano & Girlings fit better. Edward Greens and especially C&Js don't fit me nearly as well. I have heard that Carmina can build lasts up but I don't think they shave...

    Carmina Shoes - Definitive Thread (reviews, advice, sizing, etc...) - official thread.

    I have one pair on the Simpson last but keep sticking to Rain because they all pretty much fit the same. The boots are a bit looser fitting but suits me perfectly because I like slightly looser boots. The double monks are perhaps slightly roomy compared to ozfoOxf but I don't find it too much...

    I have 3 pairs now in that leather, a double monk and a chukka. I do like their other browns but love this one.
