    Septieme Largeur footwear - Discussion Thread

    Does SL use similarly unbearable heel stiffeners like Meermin? I am eying the Basile brown suede chelsea boot but would like to avoid to pay for return shipping.

    Skoaktiebolaget – Enzo Bonafé, Saint Crispin’s, Löf & Tung

    Thank you two for the explanation! I prefer the simplicity of the stich and sadly find the flap a lot less attractive. Well, I am probably in the minority.

    Skoaktiebolaget – Enzo Bonafé, Saint Crispin’s, Löf & Tung

    @Leaves, you offer several interesting styles of Carlos Santos oxford shoes. I hate myself for being this nit-picky, but what ruins them for me is the little leather flap at the bottom of the lacing. Can you explain to me the use of it and why the "Algarve Wingtip" doesn't have it, but the...

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

    What do you mean with "the best of both" in regards of a topy on top a single leather sole? As for the reason why I look for a thin rubber sole, I have a small frame and tiny UK6 feet, the pairs of boots on rubber soles with more than 5 mm thinkness, like in a single leather sole, that I own...

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

    I would like to have a chukka boot made with a rubber sole but instead of a Dainite, with a thin, more dressy one like the EG "flexible rubber sole". Does anyone know if Vass can source soles like that?

    I have a jean...(The Ultimate Jean Thread For Beginners) - ask questions here.

    I owned two pairs of APC NS in the past and liked them for their minimalistic and somewhat dressy design (no stitching, no leather patch, silver buttons) as well as their mid rise. Since I have athletic thighs and prominent knees I found their cut a little too narrow below the hips. Which brands...

    ** Quintessential Crockett & Jones Thread ** (reviews, quality, etc...)

    Sounds promising. I have narrow heels too and tend to slip out of my Loake Etons eventhough the length is fine, so maybe 360 is a better fit for me than 019.

    ** Quintessential Crockett & Jones Thread ** (reviews, quality, etc...)

    Does the 360 last have a narrow, regular or wide heel?

    Meermin Mallorca Shoes

     Vass does not cost 800€ a pair. Loake does a lot of things right, which is why they can be sure of business from my side. There are quality shoes that aren't goodyear welted.

    Meermin Mallorca Shoes

     Like I said, other manufacturers from the same price range as Meermin do get things like stiffeners, soles and lasts right, so those are not exclusive to expensive shoes. I could have compared the shoe to a pair of Loakes I own, but to me it does not make a lot of sense comparing a pair of...

    Meermin Mallorca Shoes

    Meermin Elton in Rapello Marron suede in UK6 pictured next to Vass F in black calf in EU39,5. Both have roughly the same length. Please excuse the poor quality of pictures, it's all I can get out of my cellphone's camera at the given lighting. The toe cap of the Elton is pretty long, which...

    Meermin Mallorca Shoes

    Received a pair of oxfords from the classic collection today. It took Meermin 60 days instead of the quoted 20 to bring them to my house. Elton last looks off to me in the small size that I ordered. Color looks darker than what I expected, could be caused by my notebook screen though...

    The small feet thread: sharing sizing and fits, and where to get small sizes. (US7/UK6.5 or smaller)

    I've got the FS029 boot (SF boot) of Cheaney in UK6.5F and too have the feeling Cheaneys' lasts run long in general. In case I buy a new pair of boots from Cheaney, which I will probably do because I love the current one despite it being a poor fit for my feet, I would size down not only half...

    Does anybody know which factories in Spain (Five Pocket Corduroy) and Italy (Most of the Sport Trousers) produce for Sid?

    Meermin Mallorca Shoes

    I think I will give both Meermin and a more contemporary chiseled and narrow last than what I usually wear a try and buy a pair of 101534. Anybody out there who owns a pair of said style and is willing to share some pictures of the shoes being worn?

    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

    I think half hip/seat/crotch is at the same time the most important and most tricky measurement to get right as well as to measure from an existing pair. Since I am not a tailor the experts of Luxire and/or your local tailor can offer better advice than I could. Maybe you would be willing to...

    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

    Judging from the pictures you post here and on your blog you like a very tight fit in trousers, so please take my advice with a proper grain of salt since I obviously prefer a different look. To me the width of the thigh looks the least problematic compared to the leg opening and especially the...
