    Black polish and creams on non black shoes

    Now that I have experimented a bit using black, I never buy any more brown creams for even brown shoes. All I use is blue and black waxes and creams. I know a lot of people try and find the perfect match and have bought myself everything from Saphir Hermes, Burgundy Oxblood - you name it I have...

    Whisky water shoe polish - the Mizuwari technique

    I discovered a way to finish off the glacage finish by using a 1/3 Whisky to 2/3 water mixture. The idea came up with a conversation with the resident Tokyu Hands glacage polisher - anyone who has passed through the Shinjuku Branch in the Takashimaya complex will have seen the superb examples on...

    Chinese bespoke shoes

    I have found the Japanese equivalent of the above thread extremely valuable, and I thought it would be a good idea to collate information on Chinese bespoke shoe makers. I have only been following a few on Instagram, and whilst I don't have comprehensive information at this stage, I was hoping...

    Edward Green/John Lobb 1990`s 4 models - collectors condition

    I`m selling off the pride of my collection, all unworn for 15 years, as my foot has changed from my younger days. Although I was always an 8 1/2UK, there was a stage where I went a half size down, and enjoyed the sleeker fit, but alas, this no longer works. I`d say all these fit a standard 8UK...

    Clinch boots, by Brass Tokyo

    Brass have just reopened their Tokyo shop in Daita, Setagaya, after a refurbishment. I believe they make the finest work boots in the world. They currently have few retail outlets in Japan, a dealer in Sweden, and are only open to orders a few times a year.

    Japanese suits thread

    I`ve posted a few threads on Azabu tailor and Cockney Tailor, but thought I`d start a new thread on Japanese suits. There is very little on the net on Japanese suits, so this should be of benefit to everyone interested in this subject. The Japanese suit market is huge, with hundreds of...

    Advice please on shoe size fit - tighter or looser?

    I`ve tried on two sizes and in the 8 its a slightly tight fit, where my foot has a bit of resistance from the natural last of the shoes, but the 8 1/2 is no resistance, but the crease has a lot of room. Both lengths are fine, but it s a question of getting more room, or just the right fit where...

    Thread I posted yesterday missing

    I started a thread titled `Azabu tailor` yesterday, and it`s disappeared. I`ve googled it, and it is found, only to result in "thread is not found". Any suggestions?
