    Poor man's watch thread

    Of those listed, I like the Sarb (aka Cocktail Time), especially for a cleaner, more simple dress watch. I'm partial to guiloche of the Hamilton Jazzmaster Viewmatic, but it has some things that you're not looking for (date, a few numbers).

    What's the shoe on the far right?

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

    There were a few posts in the last couple of pages recommending the Kenilworth. Out of curiosity, why is the Kenilworth recommended more frequently than the Flatiron? I would have thought the medallion on the Flatiron would make it more appealing... then again, what do I know?

    I think that's my biggest issue with the Mora. I'm not a fan of the buckles, so I don't think I can pull it off confidently. I'm curious what others see in monk straps... maybe there's something I don't "see" or appreciate? For the longest time, I've been really wanting the Larchmonts. I like...

    Seriously! I noticed most E widths are either standard priced or unavailable.

    BlackLapel.com - any experience with them?

    Not affiliated with BlackLapel, but saw their post about free giveaway stuff. Basically, you just have to retweet their Black Friday message, and you get a free gift. Quote: More info here: http://www.blacklapel.com/thecompass/its-black-friday-and-were-giving-away-free-stuff/

    Yeah, I could use a plain cap toe, but I guess if I were to get one it would be in a darker, more conservative color in dark brown or black. The thing with the Rutledge is that I'm still on the fence on the perforations. I prefer the typical broguing, but I'm waiting to see if they'll grow on me.

    I'm looking for suggestions on my next AE purchase. I already have: Black Flatirons Brown Fifth Streets Merlot McAllisters Walnut Strands While I plan on getting a brown shell Strand at some point, that may have to wait until next year as a birthday gift for myself. In the meantime, I'm...

    I'd definitely love to see the Walnut Players. Interested in them myself.

    BlackLapel.com - any experience with them?

    Yeah, I've been meaning to do so. All my groomsmen ordered their suits from BlackLapel. I also got one because we got a very good deal, so I've been meaning to take pictures, but with the wedding coming up, I just haven't found the time.

    I've got the navy blue. It's a good midnight navy blue. This might be a close comparison:

    What's your proportions? I'm about 5'9" at 160-165 with broad(er) shoulders. I got the slim fit suit and it doesn't seem out of proportion, at least to me. As for the lapels, the lapel difference is 2.5" for skinny versus 2.75" for regular (3" if you have regular peak lapels), I believe. At...

    IC: Allen Edmonds Shoes and BELTS MEGA THREAD Sale!!! Carlyle, University, Mora 2.0, McTavish, Neumo

    Ordered the Walnut Strands and Merlot McAllisters. Got them in 4 and 8 weeks, respectively. Awesome seller! I'm definitely getting my next pair of AE's through him. Thanks again!

    BlackLapel.com - any experience with them?

    To clarify, the fit is near-perfect now after I had it remade. As for why it needed to be remade, The sleeve length was an issue - which normally could have been altered - but because I got surgeon cuffs the tailor couldn't do it. Additionally, I felt the shoulders were a tad large, and I...

    BlackLapel.com - any experience with them?

    Since the time of this post, I've used BlackLapel to order suits for my groomsmen and got one myself, for 7 suits in total. I recently completed the process to the point where I'm happy as I can be with the suit, having to go through a remake (a few of my friends also had remakes, others needed...

    Los Angelenos: MTM Suits from $500 to $800

    Completely agree. Go with one suit, mention that you're considering ordering two more. He'll cut you a deal and you'll get that trial run.

    Los Angelenos: MTM Suits from $500 to $800

    The former. I picked it up and tried it on. I could have said something then, but I work better when I'm with myself taking my time. I kind of pressure and rush myself if someone is watching me. I wasn't happy with the sleeves (I think in the end my shirt was too short, not the jacket) so I took...

    Los Angelenos: MTM Suits from $500 to $800

    I've used Richard Lim. I plan on posting on Coolal's thread and adding my review, but I'm waiting on having Richard alter my suit first, so it's going to be a while before I do. Richard's price is at least double that of TaT, but if you buy the fabric from Richard, he'll give you a pretty good...
