    Shopping for Menswear in Italy?

    My wife and I will be spending a couple of weeks in Italy. We will be spending several days in Sorrento (near Naples), Rome, and Florence. We'll have a car while in Sorrento and Florence. Can anyone recommend specific retail stores or outlets that might offer discounts for things like...

    Cars We Drive!

    Yes, exactly. The GT3 is a special car, essentially a street legal race car. If I had one for a DD, I'd probably be in jail. By any technical measure, with the possible exception of build quality, the newer cars are better. I still prefer the 993, for all of the reasons you listed. The...

    Cars We Drive!

    This ^... Not to mention the smell of the air cooled cars (leather, a hint of oil, and hot aluminum), which only gets better with age. When you close the door of an older 911, it sounds/feels like one is closing the door to a vault. Starting with the 996, the doors close with the same...

    Cars We Drive!

    Thanks for the positive comments. I've owned that '95 for about 12 years. I bought my first 911 ('81 SC Targa) in 1986. The 993 has been *almost* daily driven for the 12 years that I've owned it. When the value of the air-cooled 911's took off a few years ago, a lot of them became garage...

    shoe construction...behind the veil

    Roo skin has great tensile strength, and it is relatively light weight. A lot of my motorcycling gear is made of roo skin.

    Carmina Shoes - Definitive Thread (reviews, advice, sizing, etc...) - official thread.

    Yeah, I'm confused.... I wear 7.5 in all G&G lasts, 7.0 in all St Crispins lasts, and 7.5 in Simpson and Uetam; but, the Simpson is just a little too snug. I have EG Galways 7.5 in 82 last, which fit well with thick socks (they would be too roomy with thin dress socks). Rain in 7.5 is just...

    Carmina Shoes - Definitive Thread (reviews, advice, sizing, etc...) - official thread.

    I have a sizing question.... How does Robert last compare to Simpson and Rain? I find Simpson in 7.5 to be comfortable but quite snug. Rain in 7.5 has too much room for me, they are a little too wide and the instep is too high. What could I expect with the Robert last?

    G&G St James II, Mole Suede, MH71, 7.5E (UK)

    I've realized that suede shoes don't fit well into my rotation, these shoes have been worn maybe 3 times. Original box and shoe bags are included, G&G trees are not included. The flush metal toe taps were installed by G&G.

    There is fading on the top of the lower piece that matches the outline of the upper piece. You may be right about these two pieces not originally being together; but, they have been married for a long time.

    Antiques, antiques auctions, recent purchases and discussion

    I'm surprised about your comment regarding the top and bottom sections. The vertical frames that separate the glass panels on the top line up perfectly with the door panels on the bottom. I don't see how there is any lack of cohesion between the two pieces. In fact, this symmetry is the first...

    Antiques, antiques auctions, recent purchases and discussion

    This is my first post in this section of the forum. I have to thank SF for piquing my interest in mid-century modern design. Is anyone familiar with Dillingham furniture from the early 60's? Is it well made? I found this two piece credenza with a china cabinet that will be a nice fit in our...

    Cars We Drive!

    I don't think that you'll ever see a big drop in the prices for air-cooled 911s. The bloated and cushy water pumpers are a completely different animal. Except for the rarest of them, they will continue to depreciate like most cars. I was fortunate to pick up a 95 C2 with ~40k miles 5 years...

    E.G. Cappelli Store now LIVE!

    There has been some discussion about what constitutes an "unlined" Cappelli tie. I just received my first Cappelli, a beautiful blue jacquard unlined 7-fold. I'm fairly certain that there is no interlining.

    Carmina Shoes - Definitive Thread (reviews, advice, sizing, etc...) - official thread.

    Thanks for posting this! Could you add Rain to that comparison? I'm looking for something between Rain and Simpson. My instep is too low for Rain, and the heel is too wide. Simpson (in the same size) works for me; but, it is just a little too snug overall.

    Antonio Meccariello Shoes

    Has anyone in the US had difficulty with wiring money to Antonio? I've tried to pay him via Transferwise and Ria; but, both services will not provide the transfer due to "security reasons".
