    Great looking watch! Love the Spectre Seamaster look. What was the base watch reference?

    WTB: Y-3 QoS Jacket & John Varvatos Suede Racer & Tom Ford Harrington

    There's a medium Y-3 on ebay right now. Looks like the sleeves have been shortened. John Varvatos has reissued the Spectre jacket, more or less. A couple slight changes in fit from the original runs and a $100 price increase. As for the QoS Tom Ford Harrington, they begin shipping next week to...

    LOAKE APPRECIATION THREAD

    That's disturbing to hear. I just received a pair of Pimlicos in calf from Robinson shoes. Fortunately I paid via paypal. The Pimlicos are very nice looking boots. I was worried about fit because I have wide feet with high arches and had no familiarity with the Capital last, only with the 026...

    The Suits of Spectre (2015), the latest Bond film

    Really, the blue blouson is John Varvatos Star USA. Some Bond fans identified it months ago after the location photos were published. It went back on sale at johnvarvatos.com yesterday. As of right now only XL and XXL are remaining. The other sizes sold out within hours. You'll have to email...

    MEGA PEACOAT THREAD - 61 threads merged - all Peacoat questions HERE

    The wool does look to me more sweater-like than the versions on the BR site. I've seen Billy Reid experiment with different colors and textures over the years. I remember a tweed production sample of the peacoat. I rather liked it and would have purchased it had it been my size. The wool used...

    You could have a peacoat made for you. Luxire, one of the forum sponsors, makes peacoats: http://custom.luxire.com/products/luxire-wool-peacoat You' will find examples of Luxire's work in this thread and their own dedicated threat in the Classic Menswear forum. Just use the search function.

    MEGA PEACOAT THREAD - 61 threads merged - all Peacoat questions HERE

    Very nice. Did you go standard size or made to measure? I'm still disappointed that TOJ never released the Admiral's Peacoat they teased before beginning the looooong march to closing up shop. They could have sold the coat in standard sizes for two seasons.

    Due to the nature of the Billy Reid size tags, could it have been mismarked?

    MEGA PEACOAT THREAD - 61 threads merged - all Peacoat questions HERE

    Really? I found the measurements on Billy Reid website for the large to be reasonably close. My large charcoal peacoat (since sold - but I did keep the measurements) had a pit-to-pit of 21.5 inches. The shoulder was 18.5 inches, and the sleeve length from shoulder to cuff was 26.5 inches. So...

    Clarks Desert Boots

    I too have a wide foot and I had brought up the width problem with Clarks a while back in this thread. Everyone said to size down but I had to size up...well, sometimes. At one Nordstrom's Rack the US11.5M were listed as a UK10,5 G. They fit well. But at Designer Shoe Warehouse the US11.5M were...

    The Uniqlo Thread

    I agree completely. But I'm finding Uniqlo and H&M to be worthless for fillers as well. In my last three stops into Uniqlo (and 3 stops into H&M) I've come away with exactly one pair of shorts.

    Briefcase Appreciation thread

    Nice looking bag. I look forward to your review. I'm curious how true to color the pictures are. On my monitor the brown looks a little on the reddish side. I like the idea of a green briefcase, as long as isn't garish.

    Herring Shoes - Experiences?

    Don't forget the Herring Shoes Summer Sale through Sunday. Discount code HSSUB25. I did try to email Herring with some sizing and last questions but didn't get a reply. The person I chatted with online from Herring couldn't tell me anything beyond what I had learned here or on other forums. I...

    Clarks Desert Boots

    I was trying on some Bushacre2s today. The stores I was at didn't have any in brown suede so I was just checking for fit. I normally wear an 11.5. While all were listed as 11.5 M width in US sizes some were also listed as UK 10.5 G and some were merely UK 11. For my wide foot the G was true to...
