    Blazer alteration question - no padding/structure/lining.

    Hi, Gents. I have found a nice linen jacket on eBay, my size in the chest, but it has a far bigger size in the section between the collar and shoulder seam. I would say 2-3cm or 1 inch on each side. Apart from that, good length, good position of the armholes, sleeves can be easily altered...

    Burgundy Loafer Style Question

    That's the trick for me. I probably won't wear loafer with suits, and it is more for combinations when I might have tie, and won't go white brown wingtip or black monk strap. I also want something for outfits without jacket at all. But shouldn't be to dressy or formal.

    Burgundy Loafer Style Question

    Hello Sir, It is a honour to get comment from you! You are a very respected specialist in the field. Unfortunately Carmina cordovan is out of my reach. I do not have target to impress superiors, I am not in the strict ierarchy. It is more about being myself, but having a good solid piece of...

    Meermin Mallorca Shoes

    I am also a bit concerned regarding "comfort" as I do expect feeling xom Yeah, but still, MTO is around CJ bench grade price and I always wanted to try cordovan loafers. They will reach £360 but no returns on exchange.

    Meermin Mallorca Shoes

    No, I didn't, I couldn't put then on. Plus, CJ and Cheaney break in doesn't involve so much pressure and pain, as Meermin would.

    Is it worth buying used shoes and resole them completely?

    Hello. I see many are not buying second-hand shoes because of the cork layer melted to the other person foot. I want to buy Church loafers for £150 (new £500), and just to resole them. What do you guys think? Are there any more concerns?
