Dacks and other Canadian shoe brands
Well it's slightly complicated by the fact that AE has weird sizing. I'm a 9 in AE, but a 9.5 in Dacks - and I wear 9.5US or 10 (43 eu) in most other shoes, including runners.- martinottawa

Winter Coat Thread FW11
The Canada Goose are good for a very specific thing, which is very cold, very dry conditions (since they don't use waterproof fabrics) . The Constable is one of their lighter coats, so I'm not surprised that the Norrona is warmer. They "know cold", but the cold they know is dry cold - of the...- martinottawa

Winter Coat Thread FW11
Thanks for the info - wound up going with the CG Westmount purely for warmth. Too bad, I really like the look of the Norrona!- martinottawa

Winter Coat Thread FW11
I'd be interested in knowing more about the Norrona 29 parka if anyone has one. How warm/puffy is it? Would it be suitable for -30 to -40 weather (I live in Yellowknife)? Also, is it full-length (i.e. knee-length)? I am wavering between it and a Canada Goose Westmount.- martinottawa

Dacks and other Canadian shoe brands
In case anyone is wondering about the new Dack's being sold online (at matthewdack.com), I just picked up a pair - the Harrison in "dark leaf". They seem to be quite well made. I have noticed that, on the inside, they are marked "Harrison 73/F" - Possibly an indication that they are made on a...- martinottawa

Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread - reviews, pictures, sizing, etc...
I have a pair of Neos - They are pretty good, but when I first got them there was a rough bit of nylon on the inside which wound up damaging my shoes. So check them carefully if you get them, and maybe use a bit of sandpaper to smooth out any sharp parts. The insulated ones are fleece-lined...- martinottawa

Care of color corrected (polished bookbinder Church's) shoes
In case anyone is still curious, I recently sent my PB Shannons in for the Church's repair service, and specifically asked them to something (if they could) about a couple of scuffs that had gone through the binder. They didn't do anything, and they also didn't do a very good job with repairing...- martinottawa

Black shoes for a baby lawyer
Hate to break it to you, but a better LSAT score won't necessarily get you into a T14 school, let alone get you a free ride. LSAT is only one part of the equation. You also will need excellent undergrad grades, and preferably a CV that explains how you singlehandedly discovered the Higgs boson...- martinottawa

Dressy sneakers, if such a thing exists
Quote: Good point about skate shoes - I walk around all day in them on the weekends, but they're not the greatest for long distances, especially if you're carrying a backpack. As for outdoor shoes, this should give you an idea - on this page, i think the scarpa mojito and manhattan, as well as...- martinottawa

Dressy sneakers, if such a thing exists
What about a pair of skate shoes (Vans, DVS, Emerica, Etnies, etc) in a conservative colour like navy, brown or grey? Maybe something like this? http://www.zappos.com/etnies-jameson-2-eco-navy-gum Some of the outdoor-product companies also make interesting sneaker-type shoes - see Scarpa...- martinottawa

Cars We Drive!
I drive a 2000 VW Jetta with 225 000 kms on it. Gets me where I want to go, good handling, reasonably reliable and reasonably good on gas. Plus, being a bit beat up as it is, I don't have to treat it with kid gloves. And having an old beater of a car means that I have more money to spend on...- martinottawa

Critics hate RL's US Olympic Team Uniforms
Quote: Agree! The jacket is something that a lot of people would actually wear on a semi-regular basis, as are the jeans. And, of course, it's American with a capital A.- martinottawa

2012 Olympics - Uniforms
The Canadian ones are unfortunately not wearable after Labour Day. They also use a very weird typefac. The man-purse, on the other hand, will no doubt prove handy for the athletes to store their cameras, phones, keys, etc.- martinottawa
