    Herring - Rosewood, Mahogany, or Tobacco

    Hey folks. Pretty new here, mostly lurking, but now I find a need to post! I use the search feature quite a bit, but couldn't find what I was looking for. I am going to be purchasing a pair of Herring shoes, either the Mayfair in Rosewood or Mahogany, or the Dickens in Tobacco. My question...

    trying on my first custom suit

    Hey everyone, sorry if this has already been asked, but on Saturday I'll be trying on a suit I'm having made. What I'm wanting to know is if there are any lists or bulletpoints really that I should look for when I try it on. I know the very basics, but I just don't wanna take it home and have...

    Ask A Question, Get An Answer... - Post All Quick Questions Here (Classic menswear)

    We will see if this is a quick question or not. I can always make a new thread if needed. But here goes! I am having a suit made for me soon, in a "semi-bespoke" process. I will be professionally measured, and the company takes posture notes, etc... It's a completely custom suit, and I want to...

    Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread - reviews, pictures, sizing, etc...

    I didn't purchase my originals from Nordstroms, but maybe I'll head over there, and pick up a pair, then return the ebay ones for a refund. Any idea how long the sale is on for? The closest Nordstrom's from me is a little ways away. Thanks -Scott

    Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread - reviews, pictures, sizing, etc...

    Yeah my other shoes are ok, these ones fit a little more snug and they need to soften up a bit. In the meantime I don't want to create creases in the toe cap, if it's not a size issue, I'm fine stuffing some paper into the toe and "exercising" the shoe for a while to help create a "path of least...

    Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread - reviews, pictures, sizing, etc...

    No I didn't, they were purchased from an AE partner on e-bay. They have a good return policy, and so I just want to figure out what size I'd be best to order from them, or if I should ask for a refund, and just pay more to get them from nordstroms and have them fitted. Or should I just go to...

    Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread - reviews, pictures, sizing, etc...

    Ok guys, I think my strands may have a fit issue, but I don't know if it's a length or width problem... They are a 12D, my usual size, and I put them on this morning to wear out for the first time, and promptly took them right back off and put different shoes on. I took just a few steps and...

    Official Wedding Attire Question/Answer/Picture Thread

    I did go try on a bunch of suits a few weeks back to get an idea of what fits I like. I liked the fit of the Hugo Boss James/Sharp suits, and the Armani suit I tried on. IDK a model for the Armani, just that it was their bottom rung priced suit lol. I know the Hugo Boss suit is not one that...

    Official Wedding Attire Question/Answer/Picture Thread

    Thanks for the input! I can probably get away with not matching socks, but I think the lady will want red on the tie. She may surprise me though, so far she's basically said she doesn't much care what I wear, within reason. I kinda like funky socks, in the sort of way that I like a flashy...

    Official Wedding Attire Question/Answer/Picture Thread

    Hey everyone. So I have a fairly general question. I am actually going to look pretty similar at my wedding to the current topic for discussion. Light grey suit, I have a pair of walnut strands I'll be wearing with it. I'll be measured in August for the suit, and about 4-5 weeks later I'll...

    I think I'm going to try a Beckett and Robb Suit

    I'll be interested to see all the suits you are having made. Certainly sounds like a nice B&R collection. I also think it pretty stand-up of the company to come and answer questions on here.

    Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread - reviews, pictures, sizing, etc...

    Just thought I would share my recent experience with AE customer service. While I had been asking about the darker spots around the eyelets on my new strands, I had also emailed the picture to AE to get their opinion, figured I'd get my answer one way or another :) They basically gave me the...

    Shoe boxes

    Not usually, however for my new AE's, I'll be keeping it because it's an additional line of defense if the dog ever makes it into the walk-in... Otherwise, I pitch them.

    Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread - reviews, pictures, sizing, etc...

    I probably will try it out in the future once I have a couple more pairs of shoes worth using it on But I just mean I don't think I should HAVE to use it to get the shoes where they should be when I receive them, right? Or is that darkening in the leather just normal? -Scott

    Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread - reviews, pictures, sizing, etc...

    Hmmm.... I wasn't planning to spend the $$ on the Renovateur, I did buy the Allen Edmonds shoe care products, the cleaner/conditioner, wax polish, and the liquid premium polish. Will that do the trick? I don't want to have to buy another product just so my shoes are right, ya know? I'd rather...
