    The Styleforum x Archibald Sneaker GMTO

    To be fair, Kickstarter also takes the full payment ahead of production and I have seen my fair share of farce and **** ups by unproven people and businesses who won't even answer queries for weeks. So far Archibald has done a great job of updating progress while always staying on top of this...

    The Styleforum x Archibald Sneaker GMTO

    One of the reasons I don't think my. Buttero make a good sizing reference is that they are unlined with no padding which makes them feel larger than they really are. Their USP is the thick veg tan leather that they personally source or are involved in the tanning process. I am taking the SF-01...

    The Styleforum x Archibald Sneaker GMTO

    My personal experience with kangaroo leather is that the leather can be slightly more wrinkly, this is actually a function of it being thinner. However, pound for pound they are stronger in tensile strength and tougher than Calf of the same weight. I have Kangaroo leather in soccer boots and...

    YEOSSAL - OFFICIAL AFFILIATE THREAD

    Is the pearl grey museum Calf option similar in color to the ones from Gaziano Girling? https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0277/2511/files/Gaziano_Girling_St_James_II_Pearl_Grey_MH71_1_grande.jpg?v=1516699571

    YEOSSAL - OFFICIAL AFFILIATE THREAD

    If I also may put in a suggestion, it would be for you to display the top and side view of the various lasts used for the new MTOs. If you have the resources or can justify the cost, a 360 view used by some online retailers would prove to be extremely helpful though not completely necessary...

    YEOSSAL - OFFICIAL AFFILIATE THREAD

    Dropped by the physical store today to check their new MTO range. I did not make an appointment and there was only just an in house tailor around and so I was gladly left to my own devices to check the range of new shoes. The top shelves are the new range of shoes. The problem with the old...

    Because more man hours are put into making the product. I appreciate that. Simple as that. I won't be baited to whip the dead horse.

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

    I would be interested in a racing green isham or a pearl grey St James II GMTO if it can be done before the price increment. I dun wear boots much even in winter, unless I am shoveling snow. If it gets too close to St Crispin in price, I'd rather take a hand welted shoe.

    The Ultimate Vass (Footwear) Thread (Pictures, reviews, sizing, etc...)

    The same "issue" happens to Bonafe, EG, and G&G. And have seen it with StC too. That is no big deal TBH. Museum calf is also more prone to this than french box calf. I don't believe it is batch or quality problem.

    That briefcase is a winner right there. Would you mind taking pictures of the interior when you get them?
