    Millerain Original Waxed Cotton Dressing in US (or alternate)?

    Hey -- I've got a Lands End waxed cotton jacket that's ready for a re-wax. The jacket is labeled as being made from Millerain original fabric, so my instinct is to get the Millerain dressing to try and re-wax it. However, I can't seem to find it for sale in the US (amazon wants $50 for it, UK...

    Affordable Black Bow Tie

    I'd be willing to pay $45, but they don't have any measurements on Kent Wang. I'll shoot an e-mail to support so we'll have to see.

    Affordable Black Bow Tie

    Hi All, I did a bit of search and came up empty -- I'm building up a tuxedo for a gala in a couple of weeks and the last thing I'm trying to get my hands on is a decent & affordable bow tie to finish it off. I've got a black satin bow tie from the The Tie Bar, but it's only a 2.5" height and...

    Meermin Mallorca Shoes

    I'm thinking about getting one of the boots currently on the site, but unfortunately I don't have any experience with the Hiro last. I have a pair of boots in Olfe and a pair of oxfords on the Park last, both at 9UK. They're both comfortable, but a tad loose. I've heard Hiro is roomier, so I'm...

    Just picked up a pair of my shoes I had Steve shine up for me, and the look great! (And yes, those are my arms you see in the near-mirror finish that Steve put on them...)

    Will do -- I'm thinking about swinging by on Saturday if you're still offer shoe-shine services (...and to check out the new place obviously!)

    Thanks for the comments guys. I'm not particularly worried about the vents, as I have a fairly large rear end haha. Double vented is much better than a single vent for me! I guess my main hold up is that right now I'm about 5 lbs over my normal weight (although probably about 15 over what I...

    polo-suede penney loafers? I may have to mosey up to Hillcrest to check those out!

    Received my first eHaberdasher purchase just before the holidays and finally got a chance to actually put it on and check the fit. It's a touch tight through the gut, but I think that's more of a personal post-holiday-without-working-out problem than an issue with the jacket -- I'm pretty sure a...

    There might be trouble if that one pair of U-cap boots is still in stock if I swing by the store later this week... those look great! (And, Steve, it was great meeting you last week!)

    Poor man's watch thread

    I'd e-mail them -- my minuteman says Japan Movemovent -- the other watch says Swiss Movement, maybe that's where the confusion comes from?

    Poor man's watch thread

    List price was about $180 for the horn one (little better than the website because I was paying in HKD) and the timezone one was listed at ~$300. They gave me a 10% discount for buying both (and a friend bought a purse) at the same time; I forget what the threshold we had to hit to get the...

    Poor man's watch thread

    And now for something slightly different... I was visiting Hong Kong a few weeks ago and I stumbled upon this little shop called Squarestreet (on, believe it or not, Square Street on Hong Kong island). I spent some time looking around and walked out with two (very cool, IMO) watches. They're...

    Septieme Largeur footwear - Discussion Thread

    Just got my pair of burgundy and black suede double monks... maybe the flashiest pair of shoes I own now haha. It helps that they were on their winter sale and ended up being under $200 shipped to the US. Only took about a week to the west coast! Some photos of the new pair with my black...
