    Anyone have updates on the plum museum calf MTO?

    Meermin Mallorca Shoes

    Finally got my Museum Calf MTOs. Had to have a medallion added to justify another pair of brown oxfords, but I think they look great. No defects that I can see.

    Wow, didn't know they carried that. Chapel or Vale, I'd be in for either.

    I do like the Chapel better than the Vale in most cases, but I think the plum museum calf is showy enough that the more subdued design of a the Vale fits better.

    From what I understand, we need to have a minimum of 25 orders in plum museum calf, but only 6 in a particular style to avoid the MTO upcharge. I could be wrong, but that would mean that we can have 3 or 4 different styles.

    At the risk of getting lambasted for going too trendy, I'd like to suggest the JL Vale in plum museum calf:

    Mine were shipped to my US address. 2 more weeks before I can go down there and bring them back... and it's killing me.

    Just got my shipment notification for the museum calf MTO

    That color is accurate when in daylight, but they do come off as dark brown like on the website when indoors.

    I'd be interested in getting Namor's double monk boots in hatchgrain.

    Material for Bespoke suit

    The only easily accessible fabric sellers I know of are British-fabrics on eBay and Harrisons Burley. Both are based in the UK and sell quality fabric at pretty decent prices. British-fabrics is one guy who does the run of the different mills in England buying end of line fabric bolts and then...

    Building a Shoe Care Kit

    Whatever you do, don't get the Allen Edmonds travel shoe shine kit. The brush is much denser and stiffer than their regular shine brush (I use it as my dirt brush now) and the polishing cloths that are included will transfer color to the shoe if you try to use them for spit shining. Edit: they...

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    Thanks for the feedback, but could you go more into detail about what is off with it? My tailor options are quite limited, and this one is supposedly the best one in town and has been able to make a SF approved suit in the past. He obviously did not do so in this case, but given my options, I...

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    Gentlemen, I was hoping I could get some feedback on this suit I had made a little while ago. This was my first "real" suit, a MTM piece I had done by Dung in Ho Chi Minh City. At the time, I didn't know much about proper fit so it's far from perfect. I'm not looking at altering this suit as...

    It looks like it wasn't incorporated, which is disappointing.

     I don't think there are any noticeable "ill effect" with using a canvas interlining, but it does make for a cheaper construction. Whether or not that's a deal breaker from a craftsmanship standpoint is another matter, but people on this forum snub brands for much less.

    Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread - reviews, pictures, sizing, etc...

    What a horrible salesperson. Those look like your feet are ready to burst out of them. Either try to go up widths and if that doesn't fit, I'd look into shoes on a different last.

    I'm 9.5D in the 5 last without insole and I get heal slippage with the Hiro dub monks in 8.5UK.

    Light(er) blue suit...shoes

    I have a suit in that color and I do find that burgundy works best with it.
